I met Chuck, he signed his book, graced my sobriety coin, and gave me a recovery hug and chatted up the old hits that I helped promote during my 20 years in Radio. A memory I will NEVER forget.
I'm amazed to see how many views this particular clip has. I always thought that "Piece of April" was one of the most underated songs TDN ever had. Such a beautiful song that is never played on the radio. I remember when it came out, I bought the single and I think it only went to number 20 on the Billboard chart. Nevertheless, a great song and Chuck is a great performer. Hopefully the entire band make it into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as they deserve to be in :)
Chuck Negron tells his story about how he did Midnight Runaway and "Pieces of April by himself to finish the album Seven Separate Fools" album. Chuck puts a humorous spin on the story. BEAUTIFUL PERFORMANCE OF "PIECES OF APRIL." This was a free concert. Those who attended said Chuck was generous with the entertainment as always.
@realfoneguy You are absolutely right TOP. Their harmonies TOGETHER were undeniably Rock n Roll Hall of Fame quality. Their talent was without a doubt top notch. Top 10 all-time. But it was ALL THREE singers, Chuck Negron, Cory Wells and Danny Hutton, whose voices blended so magnificently that made them such a success and all-time favorites. My favorite 3 Dog Night song. Thnx for post.
3 Dog Night didn't write ANY of their songs...Who cares..?? They were a great band and deserve to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of fame....They were a 70's icon
@TOPOFFMAN Sorry, but if you look at all the videos of when the three were together, it took all 3 to make it work. One did not make the band. It was a team effort from all including the band behind them and it shows today as they are missing only one original member. Not one other band from the era can say that. I think there may be one reunion tour someday and that will be a great day.

glad he made it thru his hard times.
My all-time favourite song ever. Chuck's voice is amazing, then, now and always.
Our memory bouqet is all we have ...pick a flower or memory from it and relive it...how bitterweet they can be, but they never fade, do they?
Chuck Negron.......The best there is!

Love this song!
What Chuck didn't mention is that this song was written by Dave Loggins, the same guy who wrote "Please Come to Boston (in the springtime)."

i would have paid to see this free concert
Actually Dave Loggins wrote Pieces of April. Paul Williams wrote "Old Fashioned Love Song" and "Out in the Country".

He's lucky he is alive with all the shit he put himself thru..........
Great song to slow dance too.
Chuck, thanks for the memories... Your old friend Kevin
@jnecakes Thats true and Loggins and Messina used to perform it live!!
Dave Loggins, who wrote this song, is a cousin of Kenny Loggins.
@AnthonyChiappone I think Paul Williams wrote this classic.
