My twin sister died of breast cancer in May, 2010. Shortly afterward, I was going through some of her things and I found a cassette tape with "Cheryl, play this when I'm gone. You'll smile!" printed on the label. It was a tape of all the great songs we used to sing together as children. This song was one of them. It was actually a morning in May when I heard this song for the first time in a very long time and it took me back to April, when she could still enjoy things like a trip through the drive-thru or watching a baseball game on TV. I still miss her, but hearing this song reminds me of her...forever.
This is one of their softer pretty songs. Three Dog Night is a great American-Irish rock band from the late 60's-70's. This band had a lot of energy & were great live. They had 3 guys with great voices that could all sing lead vocals. Some other hit songs are "One", "Just An Old fashioned Love Song", "Mama Told Me Not To Come", Eli's Coming", Shambala", "Try A Little Tenderness", "Never Been To Spain", "Easy To Be Hard", "The Show Must Go On", Joy To The World" etc.
As crazy and fun as they were, I think I always liked their ballads the best. We were always excited for their new music to come out because you never knew what it was going to be... Fantastic!
Enjoyed listening to this. Pieces of April was written by Dave Loggins, who also wrote and performed Please Come to Boston,, another very good song worth listening to. Cheers.
Black and White, Mama Told Me and Joy to The World demonstrate the power of three different lead singers in one group. Truly a unique group vocally matched only by Chicago before Kath died.
Always been one of my favorite TDN songs. I don't see this as a break-up song. There are a couple of lines in the middle where he says that they stand under a blossoming oak here in May and it made him feel like he did in April and that it must be her standing beside him still in May making him feel that way. The months are not meant to be literal, but symbolic. April has the blossoming of the flowers and their love and he realizes that after the calendar has turned, the feelings have stayed.
I always liked their cover of the Otis Redding Classic, "Try a little Tenderness" The late great Cory Wells at his soulful best. One of the best covers of all time IMO. Whatever that is worth. 🤪. 👍😉🔥
I remember listening to this on the radio so many years ago. I think it's one of those songs that each person can interpret in ways to suit their lives. Thanks Harri for bringing wiping the dust off this one!
These guys never get enough credit for their over all set list...it's always Joy to the World or Moma told me (which are good songs) but they are so much more . JMHO :)
Harri, my man !!! This is one of my most favorite songs. It was always so but, in my 2nd marriage, I inherited 2 teenage girls, Tiana and April, and I gotta tell you, Tiana was great but, I was absolutely in love (as a step-father) with April. I never figured out if she loved me back with the same fervor, but man, she was a very special girl. We really liked all the same things and we shared the same sense of humor. Her mom and I were VERY much in love but still, after 10 years together, we split up, and her mom moved out of state. So now, years later, whenever I hear this song, I think of her and wonder how she's (well all 3 are) doing.
What a talented band. Three lead singers and all sound very different. Had a lot of hits. Out In The Country is one of my favorites but Black And White is my favorite.
Lovely song...I'm dancing with my 8th grade girlfriend at our graduation dance, and feeling like my whole existence was wrapped up in her embrace...I was going to marry her, right then and there, as this song played and our hearts melted into each other...that magic moment of love, forevever gone, that I keep in a memory bouquet...
Always loved this track! Man this makes the good memories flow! Three Dog has some great work out there, and so glad to see some fellow patrons are putting in the requests for you Harri! Just a suggestion and not a request, you have to react to "Just an Old Fashioned Love Song" because I know you love great singers harmonizing together. Thanks for this one Craig!
This song was written by Dave Loggins who wrote Please Come To Boston which was a hit in early 1975. He also wrote another hit for Triple Canine Eve titled Til The World Ends.
Been awhile since I heard this one. Very pretty song shows the diversity of this band. Thanks for the listen, great recommendation. You might wanna take a listen to Black and White which takes the band in yet another direction✌️❤️
Totally different than all the rest of their great songs. What made this band great is 3 great singers. Believe this is Chuck Negron. Others,r Cory Welles and Danny. Cory did a phenomenal performance of Otis Reddings Try a little Tenderness. Worst checking out.
I think this song did come out in spring of 1972. Celebrate is a good song by them. One of their mellow songs. Good reaction Harri. Saw them in concert in July !972 Poconos Rock festival at Long Pond Pa.
Lost my job of over 13 years in April,2018...and ever since my life has slowly fallen apart. So PIECES to me is a very appropriate word to use, since that is all you remember and all that's left in your present life, speaking for myself anyway.
April showers bring May flowers...the new life giving showers signal the true beginning of spring...one can tell when spring is coming...you can feel the potential within
What makes me parcel to Chuck, even thou I also love Cory's Blue Eyed Soul Voice, is that wth Chuck is how versatile his voice was on many of his songs, from sweet and soft, to very high range to that low growl, that neither Cory or Danny ever did. Just listen to several of Chucks pieces and you will get what I mean.
Please do "Eli"s Coming" by Three dog night, the live version is a must. The song was written by the late great Laura Nyro, you should check her out too, she wrote for many artist in the 60's and 70's.
I got acquainted with Three Dog Night in the 1980s when they released the single “It’s A Jungle Out There”. Totally different from this, very reggae influenced and I am pretty sure almost none of your subscribers has ever heard of the song. I don’t think it was a hit anywhere and there’s a version with bad audio quality on Deezer, but I’m still enjoying “It’s A Jungle Out There” 😃
There is a story of what 3 dog night means, But I think it was more that they had 3 lead singers which gave them the range to do such a wide variety of songs.
I'd like to suggest, if I may, that the inference here is that May is when the love affair is over. All the great, sweet memories of April are now in the past and it's now May. I don't think this was meant to be a short, monthly interval, but a longer period of time.
One of the 3 Dogs slower songs. They had the longest consecutive string of songs to hit the top 40 back in the 70s.

I hadn’t heard this in a long time. Such a pretty song.

They're not an Irish band. One guy is of Irish decent. They are from LA

Lots of memories of Three Dog Night: "One," "Liar," "Mama Told Me Not To Come," "Easy To Be Hard" Thanks to Craig and Harri ✌👍

They are ok. I was about 9 years old when they were popular and I heard enough of Jerimiah was a bullfrog to last me a lifetime.
My favorite ballad by Three Dog Night. Such a beautiful song.
I've been wanting to sing this at karaoke. Don't think I can though tears me up and brings me to tears.
One of my all time favorite songs from Three Dog Night

Great choice. A beautiful vocal display by a great group. Thank Craig and Harri for choosing this winner.🇨🇦🔥🌏🇺🇸💟🕊️🙃👍
My pleasure!

As a child, this was my favorite song I put into the beautiful category just heartwarming
Im a April baby. I loved this forever. Im 60. After a long dark winter, april comes with its promise of spring and renewed beautiful flowers.
Haven't heard this since I was a kid. I loved 3 Dog Night, didnt we all. Good evening Harri.😊💙
Brought back so many high school memories. One of their best!
You're the only one who has reacted to this, I think.
Thanks for sharing a memory old friend I haven't yet met.
I remember listening to this on the radio so many years ago. I think it's one of those songs that each person can interpret in ways to suit their lives. Thanks Harri for bringing wiping the dust off this one!
I’ve always loved this song and put together with this beautiful video with the gorgeous flowers, it’s just heavenly. Lovely 🌺✌️
My top ten of mellow songs. Beautiful.
Three of the best voices ever to harmonize together. Especially Chucks voice! Saw them many times in concert back in the late 60's and early 70's.
This is one of my all time favorite songs. I can listen to it over and over again and never get tired of it.
Good old music never dies. They stand the test of time.
Three Dog Night was an essential part of my growing up in the 60s and 70s. I saw them in early 2005 and they sounded as good as 73!
Beautiful song 🎵 ❤ 😍
This group has so many hits. None of them are bad!! They actually have one titled “I’ve Never Been To Spain”!!
That particular song was written by a singer, song writer named Hoyt Axton.
I'd forgotten how much I love this song
Please listen to Never Been To Spain.You will really enjoy it.
Have you done Black and White yet? This is such a gorgeous song.
I haven't heard this song since I was a kid and this came out. I'd listen to this on the album. I forgot all about it. So Good to Hear again.
These guys never get enough credit for their over all set list...it's always Joy to the World or Moma told me (which are good songs) but they are so much more . JMHO :)

Her mom and I were VERY much in love but still, after 10 years together, we split up, and her mom moved out of state. So now, years later, whenever I hear this song, I think of her and wonder how she's (well all 3 are) doing.
What a great reaction, gratitude! You get the moving spirit of this song!
I feel this is there best love type ballad. Memories of college and road trips...and pieces of April
Me. Too. Loved traveling in my car listening to this song. Even if it was May!!!! I think the morning.
The 70's just had so much amazing music
Three Dog Night had 3 amazing vocalist.
Oh, thank you for this one - my favorite 3DN, brings back so many memories of high school, and first loves.........
I have said this before, you can never go wrong with Tree Dog Night. They knew how to make great music. My favorite group of that time.
Wow great reaction.
Keep on hitting them - you'll be impressed . So many great songs
What a talented band. Three lead singers and all sound very different. Had a lot of hits. Out In The Country is one of my favorites but Black And White is my favorite.
Out In The Country is great!
Lovely song...I'm dancing with my 8th grade girlfriend at our graduation dance, and feeling like my whole existence was wrapped up in her embrace...I was going to marry her, right then and there, as this song played and our hearts melted into each other...that magic moment of love, forevever gone, that I keep in a memory bouquet...
One of my childhood favorites.
Another good one showcasing Chuck Negron’s vocal talent is “Til the World Ends. “
Fabulous meloncholly song You Must hear the JOHNNY MATHIS cover, AMAZING..
I idolise Johnny Mathis..
Such a pretty song : )
I was junior high when this came out...beautiful song...
I"ve never thought of this song as sad, or a break-up song.
Lovely song 🌹🌺🌼💐💕 loved the floral video
This song is still so meaningful today. The other songs from them still have very deep meaning that are still relevant today.
I love Three Dog Night! Mama Told Me Not To Come. This is a softer side. Yes, it is beautifully sad.
They were the best around with huge hits and great vocals.
Always loved this track! Man this makes the good memories flow! Three Dog has some great work out there, and so glad to see some fellow patrons are putting in the requests for you Harri!

Out in the Country and Woman for example.

Absolute favorite

One of the first albums I ever bought was Three Dog Night live.
Hello Harry, You should listen to the original song by Dave Loggins, He wrote it and sang it first...1971..
Great band. They once had 20 consecutive top-20 hits.
7 band members 3 were lead singers, each had their own distinctive sound, Chuck, Danny, and Corey (rip). Try a Little Tenderness
Three dog night had guys like Paul Williams to compose their music for them ...Paul also composed for the Carpenters too...Ty brother
Lost my job of over 13 years in April,2018...and ever since my life has slowly fallen apart. So PIECES to me is a very appropriate word to use, since that is all you remember and all that's left in your present life, speaking for myself anyway.
I hope and wish you will eventually get your life back up again Dave. Keep your head up!
Kenny Loggins a great solo artist and of Loggins & Messina (your momma don't dance), fame , wrote this..
April showers bring May flowers...the new life giving showers signal the true beginning of spring...one can tell when spring is coming...you can feel the potential within

Cory wells chuck negron,Danny Hutton.mike allsup guitar.jimmy greenspoon keyboard
Cory and Jimmy are gone.they should be in the rrhf.
It was written by David Loggins!
Very much in the Bread sound I think.
Midnight runaway
April was the love of my life in 1974 ROFL...
There is a story of what 3 dog night means, But I think it was more that they had 3 lead singers which gave them the range to do such a wide variety of songs.
her name was april
Live
I'd like to suggest, if I may, that the inference here is that May is when the love affair is over. All the great, sweet memories of April are now in the past and it's now May. I don't think this was meant to be a short, monthly interval, but a longer period of time.
OMG just realised you’ve never reacted to Say Say Say. Paul McCartney and Michael Jackson 😱
Shambala please.
These guys did some beautiful songs.The name of the group Three Dog Night just doesn't match the sounds these guys portrayed.
Try this one Harri by the Bee Gees th-cam.com/video/yGxDx8ftX1I/w-d-xo.html
