It's really a shame and embarrassing that groups like Three Dog Night, Grassroots, Tommy James and the Shondells, and many other Great Grupps, are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!! All these groups are more than deserving!! Such incredible talent on these groups!! Great Memories of all of them!!
These people who determine who gets in and who doesn't make it in the rock of Roll Hall of Fame have absolutely no clue about good music and therefore should not be judges of who goes in and who is locked out Three dog night Grand funk railroad and many others should be in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame these people don't know squat about these musicians and I would tell every single one of them to their face gladly
You said it, brother. I was a teenager in the '70s, and these bands are in MY Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, with honors. "Never Been to Spain" is one of my all-time-fave headbangers, the thing just builds and builds until you can't stand it anymore; I just sang myself hoarse while listening to it just as I used to do 50 years ago. Man, those dogs could SING.
No sweetie, Otis Redding made it what it is today. I wasn’t even able to listen to this version the whole way thru. It’s made to come from the soul. This is just a copy of one.
Lori I absolutely agree I learned on his version on try a Little tenderness but unfortunately many karaoke places do not carry the Three dog night version which is really stupid they carry Michael bubbles version and Otis Redding version and I cannot stand Michael bubble and his Frank Sinatra voice
Songs like this and groups like Three Dog Night really sank into our souls when we were young back in the 60's and 70's. When you picked up a new album, you not only listened to it many, many times, but you really paid attention to every little bit of it. You learned every song on your album by heart and could sing all the words. We weren't as distracted by other things back then: TV wasn't on 24-hours a day, no Internet or computers, no cell phones. There was time to listen to your music, talk to your friends, read plenty of books and ponder your life. It was a great time to grow up.
Of all the times Cory Wells has sung this fine song, this is his most heartfelt version.He nails it shut! Nobody, but nobody can sing this song any better than this version. PERIOD!
Glad you made it bro. My brother did two tours there and died 10 years ago from it. Cancer caused by agent orange caught up to him in the end. War is hell and "the pain of war can not exceed the woe of aftermath" Led Zepplin IV, from The Battle of Evermore.
@@krewzerz1 Because the RRHOF is Jan Wenner's private little thang - regardless of what you've heard. No Tull either. Not one of his faves. But really - so what? The music (at least their first 3 albums) is the real truth here. Not some phony club.
These Rock and roll Hall of Fame judges are absolute jokes like the supreme Court we have in the United States that are all with Trump except for a few
Even when a person is in a coma....there is some things they still respond to...and it is easy to see why this song (and your presence) touched her heart...and gave her the power to respond. This song is powerful. God Bless You...and Your Wife.
Chip Gaasche _ No he didn't, it is an old song. Otis "owned" it by the strength of his performance when he recorded it. And when you think of O.R. classics, "Tenderness" is among his top song performances. Who in History can say that they can stand toe to toe with O.R.? In my opinion, Cory "owns" this song's best performance with the TDN version. That really is a testament to Cory's extraordinary talent.
Chip Gaasche _ We agree. Otis was first to record his version in the modern Rock & Roll era. He knocked it out of the park as one would expect with a man of his talent. _ A few years latter TDN bravely produced their cover of this incredible song. What rarely ever happens is that the new group out shines the master. In this case they did. After Cory laid down his track he "owned" that song from that point. For Cory to take on that challenge and deliver that performance forever cements him as a Rock mega star. I know of no other star that can say that they shine brighter than OR on a song that he pored his soul into. Cory stands alone. I will always have the utmost respect for both artists. Cory has the better version. _ Cory also displayed his greatness on other TDN classics like "Never Been To Spain" and he also wasn't the only mega talent in TDN. Chuck was huge too. A ton of talent in and around that group.
John Beckman I like all 3 singers in TDN, but Negron was my favorite. Let us not forget the contribution of the backing musicians in TDN. What a tight, inventive lot they were.
@@henrywales9901 Oh yeah. . my girlfirend and I were sorta groupies of 3 Dog night before they hit it big. I'm probably old enough to be your grandma. I am doing fine here in No. Calif. and you?
@@joycekellner9957 Hello dear how are you doing? thank you for the acceptance. its nice to meet you. when do you have time to talk.. i would love to know you better. We can chat more on hangouts
Your a very lucky person, I've seen hundreds of concerts but I was only 14 in 1975 but I would have loved to see them, these guys, the Grass Roots, Janis Joplin and the Guess Who, those were the 8 track tapes Dad had in the car for us, best time's of my life and I didn't even know it, peace to everyone out there, please enjoy these classics.
Joyce I don't care how old you are, you are freaking awesome and thank you so much for your share, just beyond cool for me, my deepest respect to you and your loved ones
OMG! I was on the crew who shot this video!! This was for the Hy Lit TV show, a local Philly Bandstand-like hit show (1965-70) that for a while was syndicated to others towns like Boston and Cleveland. We actually used that little toy, seen inside the bass drum here, to balance the colors. Remember this one well, though we shot many big acts in the day. Whoever posted..thank you!!!!
Al, Todd Kimmell here in Philly. Where is all the footage for Hy's show? Who produced the show? Channel 48 was put on the market with no buyers, the broadcast license going back to the FCC. Channel 17 bought up all the equipment and miscellaneous from the bellied up 48, but would they have bothered to take what was at the time just recently out of date footage?

Hey, Todd! Great to hear from you. Most videos are gone, but a small percentage survived.I actually found a 2 video set called "The Best of the Hy Lit Show" volumes 1 and 2 with about 25 of the videos we shot, Iron Butterfly to Barbara Mason.It includes some we didn't shoot, mislabeled as though we did. I bought it from Vintage Vinyl at VVMO.com, a guy named Steve Kay, 925 Davis St ,Evanston Ill 60201. Wasn't cheap; 60 bucks including shipping, but meant the world to me. Joe Saraceni produced and directed the best ones, though Guy Galante did a number of them as well. My job was mostly lighting and camera. All the best, Todd!
This to me was Cory Wells at his best vocally. He did a great rendition of this classic Otis Redding song. One of the best ever. RIP Cory Wells. I loved you with the rest of Three Dog Night since I was a young girl in the 1970's. One of the best bands ever.
CM BEA First of all why are you so hateful? This song was sung by Cory NOT Chuck. Learn how to spell Cory NOT Corey. And what is a tosser? LOL on your very immature comment!
Lila and dog absolutely agree with you sis they need new judges in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame and get these bands in including Grand funk railroad one of the hardest rocking three piece bands on the planet
I wonder if those who vote which bands get in and which bands don't can be replaced or impeached like Trump? They obviously don't know talent and they don't know what the fans like as well they all need to go and start with new judges they need to understand with older and newer fans and get these bands into the Rock and roll Hall of Fame including Grand funk railroad as well
Before Three Dog Night blew up into the incredibly successful band they became, I got to see them twice at the Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino California and they were absolutely incredible. Cory Wells absolutely stole the show singing this to close the show. They tore the roof off that place both times. Such an amazing band and three great vocalists .
I saw them right when they were beginning to unravel, and Chuck Negron was so blitzed that he didn't know where he was, and having been my favorite band growing up, it was painful to watch. I'm glad that Chuck was finally able to rid himself of his demons and find redemption and peace.✌☮
Michael Allsup really is a seriously underrated guitarist! Listen to how he completely took the song and rocked it, along with this kick-ass band! The original musicians of Three Dog Night were phenomenal, as well as Chuck , Cory, and Danny.
It's really an absolute shame that Three dog night does not have a karaoke version of try A Little tenderness! They didn't better than anybody including Otis Redding who wrote the song 🙏
When you listen to this band from the early beginnings, as the lead singers all say ,it was the band that made it all happen for them. Yes the band was unreal but the three guys up front could sing their asses off also!!! Thanks for the music 3 dog night!!!!
Every one of them are outstanding musicians. Top shelf all the way. But those vocals. The best 3 male rock vocalists ever assembled. Each one an incredibly powerful lead. Which is what separates them from all the other great harmonizing bands of their era.
@@greenlightwilly absolutely and total agreement with you nobody did this song better than Three dog night and I cannot stand Michael bubble and his nightclub version his Frank Sinatra voice does not impress me and if he ever wanted to go up against me in a music contest I would more than welcome it
Had forgotten how freakin’ good Cory’s cover of this song was. They all just slayed on this track, band as well. Golden Biscuits was one of my first albums and I wore it out, literally, and had to buy a second copy a couple of years later. So many great cuts.
Cory Wells voice and this song have haunted me since I was a teenager in the early 70s. I played it over and over again and I love that I can just bring this video up and watch/HEAR him again. I know he's gone now resting with the angels. RIP
Excellent cover !!!! I love Otis and could never imagine anyone else singing this song and doing it justice, but man! They sure did!!!!! Thoroughly enjoyed this cover, stupendous job by Corey and Three Dog Night.
Priscilla absolutely agree with you when I've done this song in karaoke I try to sound like three dog night would he was the best at doing this song Michael bubble the nightclub singer has no clue how to do this song with his Frank Sinatra disgusting voice
Corey was so happy doing this he did what every singer hope's to do. Combine his voice / body movements/ and sing from deep inside the ♥ heart. I admire him for doing it at a young age. OH almost forgot a banging Band playing in wonderful unison.🎹
This song moved me in 1968. I was 11. It still moves me, and remains my favorite TDN tune. It may be responsible for my puberty kicking in! Yeah, I said it.
Great Otis Redding composition. Sometimes a cover is better than the original. What a soulful voice. Remember this song coming out of my sister's room in 1970.
Love how the drummer sings also!!! Righteous dude! Ohhh. Loved that time of my life. Young, no clue of real life and the BEST MUSIC EVER!!!! 👍🏻☮️❤️🤘🏻❤️
One of my all time favorites,they played this is a club and after hours l went to in the late 60 s and early 70s.The floors were full of Guys and Gals,we danced and made the floor shake with our moves.Those were the days,l had so much fun back then!🥰
The outstanding vocals of this group notwithstanding, you really have to give props to the four musicians backing them. Mike Allsup's guitar parts were so well crafted along with Jimmy's outstanding keyboards, all superbly anchored by Joe's bass and Floyd's drums. I don't think I can cite a four-piece band better than these guys.
Wow. Joe Schermie (bass player) was really rockin' the groove on this one! I grew up listening to Three Dog Night the (1st generation fan), and the fact they're not in the hall of fame is truly sad.
I always thought this was a great version of this song. Thanks for all the great music Three Dog Night. It's time to be inducted into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. It should have been years ago!
It's time to get new judges in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame that absolutely get it and put Three dog night Grand funk railroad and many other bands in there and get these arcade clowns that know nothing about judging they might as well be on the supreme Court in Washington
@@coltpurves nobody did this song better than Three dog night including the nightclub singer Michael Buble who absolutely barbecues this song I would love to barbecue him in a music contest and yes I would go face to face with him
Saw them play in a little club beside Fenway Park in Boston 1968, just before their first big hit came out. Great memory, 19 years old and our whole lives in front of us but too dumb to know it or appreciate it.
Saw them at a small club in Boston beside Fenway Park in 1968 before they had their first hit. My room mate said lets go over to club, I asked who was playing and he says Three Dog Night and I asked who they were. 19 years old, what a great time that was. Loved them ever since.
I had the pleasure to meet Cory a few years back...actually the whole band...they were all very nice. Cory was shocked to see his solo album in my hand, and we spoke briefly about it, and he was as nice as could be. Gentleman. Voice that could melt butter....God bless him..I'm sure his family is so hurt to loose him...bless them too.
this is the very best recorded version of this song, no doubt..Cory Wells truly nails it, so understated yet very powerful and emotional..perfect...RIP, Mr Wells.

Total bs.
One of those bands that never really got the respect that they truly deserved .
By this song alone Three Dog Night should be in the Hall of Fame.
The Baby Boomer Generation produced some of the finest musicians ever and their songs are still sought after even today!
as a gen-xer that adores the 80s and 90s music i still cannot agree with you more good sir, thats why i am here listening to songs like this one!
Many, if not most, of the artists from the 60's weren't from that generation which spanned from '46 to '64. Cory Wells, for instance, was born in '41.
Cory Wells has made this song what it is ! Fantastic Rip 🙏 Cory Wells
Three Dog Night more less copied how Otis Redding did this song. It was originally sung by Frank Sinatra in the 30's.
No sweetie, Otis Redding made it what it is today. I wasn’t even able to listen to this version the whole way thru. It’s made to come from the soul. This is just a copy of one.
Otis is smiling from heaven hearing this rendition!
RIP Corey Wells, one of the greatest singers of his time.
Slow down baby
Corey Wells' voice is so fabulous, pure soul! He was a true talent!!
Hello Lori, How are you doing?
Corey's cover of "Try a little tenderness" was fantastic.
I love Cory💖
So Sad He is Gone🌹
Lori I absolutely agree I learned on his version on try a Little tenderness but unfortunately many karaoke places do not carry the Three dog night version which is really stupid they carry Michael bubbles version and Otis Redding version and I cannot stand Michael bubble and his Frank Sinatra voice
He is my eternal crush

BIG TIME. Corey does a great job, like Otis Redding.
You speak the truth!
So true!
Cory could sing anything. I think he was the heart of the band.
Of all the times Cory Wells has sung this fine song, this is his most heartfelt version.He nails it shut! Nobody, but nobody can sing this song any better than this version. PERIOD!
I totally agree! That second drum roll sets up the mood..............Cory responds..............
A certain Otis Redding might beg to differ.
I personally think 59-year-old Cory Wells sang it better with the Tennessee symphony orchestra in 2000
Have you heard of Otis Redding
Brings back memories of hearing him sing this in concert! Fabulous!
He & Three Dog Night helped me get through a year in Vietnam. True BLUE EYED SOUL!!!

One of the most talented bands to ever take the stage. To this very day.

In all of history, how many people people can take a signature Otis Redding song and own it like a Boss?
One.
Otis did NOT write this, John.

Corey was so happy doing this he did what every singer hope's to do. Combine his voice / body movements/ and sing from deep inside the ♥ heart.
I admire him for doing it at a young age. OH almost forgot a banging Band playing in wonderful unison.🎹
got to see them back in the 90's!....this is the gold standard version of this song, they rocked it!
I love these guys so much. Big childhood memories
I keep watching this over and over. I dig his dance moves! And that voice and that soul are amazing. The whole package for sure!
Sleep in Peace, dear Cory..... Thank you for so much good music... You will be missed.... xxx
Love how they are all dancing a bit! You will be missed, Cory!
Hello Patty how are you doing today
Just like Joe Cocker "owned" his remakes, Cory did an unbelievably outstanding job with this!
Yes
Don't remember Otis' version. However, I think Cory owns this song.
@@vivianbiondolillo3681 Otis did the original version and it was featured in "Pretty In Pink" too.

This song moved me in 1968. I was 11. It still moves me, and remains my favorite TDN tune. It may be responsible for my puberty kicking in! Yeah, I said it.
Hello Kristi how are you doing today
Nothing can compare to 70s music; best band ever! Thank you guys so much, meet you in heaven one day Cory.
Great Otis Redding composition. Sometimes a cover is better than the original. What a soulful voice. Remember this song coming out of my sister's room in 1970.
Cory was so young! And oh so very talented. I love his version and this video. Can we all go back? lol
We are so blessed that this early live footage still exists...🥰
brings back school dances 70- 73, good times
What a terrific voice Corey
Love how the drummer sings also!!! Righteous dude! Ohhh. Loved that time of my life. Young, no clue of real life and the BEST MUSIC EVER!!!! 👍🏻☮️❤️🤘🏻❤️
Wish I could bring this time of my life back♥️
From what i heard the drummer is tommy chongs brother in law
Great memories of an unmatched era in music...RIP Cory, he rocked this song! I loved this guy. His voice lives on forever.
This is absolutely magnificent. The song AND the video.
One of my all time favorites,they played this is a club and after hours l went to in the late 60 s and early 70s.The floors were full of Guys and Gals,we danced and made the floor shake with our moves.Those were the days,l had so much fun back then!🥰
Brings back the days of teen hops, and hugging up some young sweet girl and slow dancing . Lord please change us back to those days.
Crazy strong voice. One of my all time favorite groups!
Man, what a voice Cory had.
My favorite group of my High School Days. brings great memories.
My favorite group love them! Still listening at 62!
Hello Sharon how are you doing today
The outstanding vocals of this group notwithstanding, you really have to give props to the four musicians backing them. Mike Allsup's guitar parts were so well crafted along with Jimmy's outstanding keyboards, all superbly anchored by Joe's bass and Floyd's drums. I don't think I can cite a four-piece band better than these guys.
Wow. Joe Schermie (bass player) was really rockin' the groove on this one! I grew up listening to Three Dog Night the (1st generation fan), and the fact they're not in the hall of fame is truly sad.
Best version of this song ever
Cory was a phenomenal singer, Three Dog Night one of the greatest bands of all time, Master Musicians for sure, outstanding music
Holy shit. He did Otis justice. This man killed This!!
Oh yes he did.God bless him.Rip.❤ Cory...
the great cory wells
I love him. I love him songs. RIP Cory Wells
damn sure did,
This song was around since the 1930s, before Otis Redding, his version is just the most well known
So much passion and soul. If a young guy today has this passion and he auditions you are talking instant success with a record contract.
best version of this song ever
I'm 64 and have been looking for new music to listen to. What happens ? I end up back to the music of this era, it brings back some great memories
My dad was so sweet to my mom post it notes a smile a cup of tea priceless ❤
I just had the pleasure of meeting Chuck and Danny on a bus here in Tucson. Quite an honor.
I grew up listening to these guys. Some of the best music of its day.
Or any day! Fantastic voices & music! Brings back so many memories..love you Chuck, Corey & Danny!
This is such a soulful song - full of emotion!
Hello Cathy how are you doing today
I always thought this was a great version of this song. Thanks for all the great music Three Dog Night. It's time to be inducted into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. It should have been years ago!
IMO it is THE version of the song!
Me too........???how are you doing...???
It's time to get new judges in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame that absolutely get it and put Three dog night Grand funk railroad and many other bands in there and get these arcade clowns that know nothing about judging they might as well be on the supreme Court in Washington
@@coltpurves nobody did this song better than Three dog night including the nightclub singer Michael Buble who absolutely barbecues this song I would love to barbecue him in a music contest and yes I would go face to face with him
Saw them play in a little club beside Fenway Park in Boston 1968, just before their first big hit came out. Great memory, 19 years old and our whole lives in front of us but too dumb to know it or appreciate it.
He sure had a great voice!
The "Live at the Forum" performance of this, is the best singing I've ever heard ,from anyone!.........
+Kirk Kelley Love that album! Yes, Cory blew the doors off with that performance.
And what an album cover!!!
Never seen this before. Had no idea they covered this. God Bless UA-cam!
Saw them at a small club in Boston beside Fenway Park in 1968 before they had their first hit. My room mate said lets go over to club, I asked who was playing and he says Three Dog Night and I asked who they were. 19 years old, what a great time that was. Loved them ever since.
I remember Three Dog night at my high school sick hop...😊 they were fantastic then and only got better!!!
I had the pleasure to meet Cory a few years back...actually the whole band...they were all very nice. Cory was shocked to see his solo album in my hand, and we spoke briefly about it, and he was as nice as could be. Gentleman. Voice that could melt butter....God bless him..I'm sure his family is so hurt to loose him...bless them too.
Cory Wells was born and raised in a Polish neighborhood in the city of good neighbors, Buffalo, NY.
this is the very best recorded version of this song, no doubt..Cory Wells truly nails it, so understated yet very powerful and emotional..perfect...RIP, Mr Wells.
