It's so wonderful to look back on all these artists who had enough talent to just come out on stage and dazzle you with pure talent... no light shows, no dancers, no autotune, not coming out half naked (like so many female artists feel they need to do nowadays). Pure talent!
Hell. They could could totally rock the house with songs like Traffic's Feeling Alright, Heaven is in Your Mind, The Band's Chest Fever, and the amazing song Celebrity Ball/Celebrate.
He’s right, put you in a coma. I did it, a stroke. Twelve years ago, I was in a coma. Listening to this! But you’re right, 90% of the artists put the “artists” away.
Agree..made you feel good about everything..esp..yourself...personal experience of course...I'm so happy I found this now...used to listen only on radio back then..no TV no mobile..now I see their images on videos...wow..just love them..tq for sharing...cheers..
Jamal, He's mimicking the sound of the old times. He's having fun doing it! When I was a kid I taped this off the radio and used to put it under my pillow at night and listen to it over and over
JOANNE DUNGAN me too, Joanne. Three dog night have been my go to pickup for any fit of the blues or troubled patch of life. Is there anything more joyous in the world than Joy to the World?
I was born in 1961. I grew up with this music. It was my most favorite as a child. It is fantastic to see this music recognized today. I love what you doing bro. Your recognition of the value of the songs is very appreciated. Please keep it coming.
Hey yes I took born in 61, and we used to have sheet music in music class and as a 7th grader we knew and sang all the lyrics to the ink is black, page is white .. and on and on you know that was a good song! I mean still is
I'm just seeing this reaction! I know that you're swaying more toward commentary of current events (of which I love), and honestly, there's such a treasure trove of music reactions that you've done, I won't run out of that content...but keep doing what you're doing, because it's what makes you unique and You!
I'll add to the votes for their song, "One" - It's one of the most beautiful songs of the era. It was written by Harry Nilsson (another artist whose work you should take a deep dive into).
I got to watch one of their last performances at the Oregon State Fair in the early eightees. Only about half the band and Chuck Negron showed. The ONLY way that I knew they were there is because there is NO mistaking Chucks voice. I was right but had to walk about a half mile to the stage and back to my work. These dudes could spit out the harmonies, and they were very entertaining, I didn't like them as well live except for the entertainment... a great band.
Fun Fact : Three dog night is the world's most successful cover band of all time, as all but under 10 of the songs on their 12 albums were written and performed by various artists prior to three dog night recording them.
Three Dog Night, was taken from a phrase, meaning that it is really cold outside and that you need three dogs to keep you warm till morning. That was why some people slept with dogs, not because they “loved“ their dogs, but for survival during the cold nights. The kid on the left, reminded me of Jimmy Cagney in black face back in the 1920’s and 30’s! Just something I remember.
I bought a "best of..." 3 Dog Night CD back in the late 1980s. The album had 20 songs on it, and I was shocked to find that I knew practically every song from radio airplay. I had no idea who played some of those tracks until then. They are so talented. Music discovery is an awesome thing. More power to you. Rock on.
Got the same best of.......was blown away by the recognition of every one of them (when I had heard them as a toddler.) Man!!! They were talented musicians and fun!
Hey, back in those days we knew how to laugh at life, each other, ourselves, and just enjoy being alive! People weren't all P.C. and easily offended by every little thing on the ;planet. Miss those days.
Fun fact: Three Dog Night gets their name from a rustic term for how cold it was in terms of how many dogs need to sleep in the bed to keep you warm. How cold is it? It's a Three Dog Night.
@@whazzuphere this is from their biography on Allmusic - In 1967, Hutton conceived the idea of a three-vocalist group, and he and Wells enlisted mutual friend Negron. They took their name from an Australian expression describing low nocturnal temperatures in the outback (the colder the night, the more dogs needed to keep warm while sleeping).
@@glennelfmann3143 Interesting, because I remember an interview they had years ago where they said it came from the Eskimos (Inuits) who would sleep with their dogs who would be brought into their igloos with them at night.

LOVE me some Three Dog Night. One of the best groups during the era and criminally underrated despite all of the top 10 hits. My favorite song by them is "Out In The Country". Thanks for posting.
I was born in 1960.I loved all those great songs . I just realized about 2wks ago . didn't know all that beautiful music was made by Three Dog Night. They are my new #1 favorite band . 🌼✌🏵🌻😊
100% agree. I have heard many of their songs over the years but just never put it together that they had all those hits. My uncle recently told me theirs was his first album 😁
How Chuck Negron managed to survive his drug use is a miracle. He said that why on European tours he would play the show, hop a plane to the States to score his coke, fly back, do the next show. Wash, rinse, repeat.
This is a Paul Williams song. You may know him as Swan in the movie "the Phantom of the Paradise" (or not) some of the other artists who have recorded his work are Helen Reddy, the Carpenters, the Monkees, Daft Punk, Kermit the frog and Diamond Rio. He also wrote the music for "Emmet Otter's Jugband Christmas" or whatever that Jim Henson special was called. He
I once had a music director who told us, "be aware that you are priveleged...to be one of the few who can say 'I PLAY for a living.'" Never forgot that.
Ah some good ol' Three Dog Night. They get their name from an adage that a bitter cold blizzard requires three dogs to keep a man warm at night. I think it's from a novel
"wild child" Danny Hutton. He was probably higher than a kite at the time. Him and Chuck Negron had their issues with drugs. The only one in the group that didn't was Cory Wells and he was the one to die in 2015 of multiple myeloma, cancer of the blood . Actually, he got an infection and ended up dying from that in the hospital. Cory was my favorite. You should really listen to some of his solo work, a great great talent!
Awww...Corey was such a nice man! I'm sorry to hear he passed away! He was ridiculously nice everytime he walked into the bank! I have his autograph..the only autograph I ever actually asked anyone for...he did not hesitate...he took a small sheet of paper of my desk and signed away! Zero ego...BTW..I still have it locked away! ❣
@@debbylambert3319 Oh Debby! How lucky you are! I was only able to see them once, about 25 yrs ago, outdoor concert. I waited all my life for that day and they did not disappoint! I got close enough to yell "CORY"! when he walked by after they were done, and he looked at me and gave me the greatest smile! That image of him will stick in my mind forever!
The song was written by Paul Williams. He also wrote, We've Only Just Begun as a Crocker Bank commercial jingle. Richard Carpenter borrowed it and made it famous with Karen Carpenter's vocals...
He smiled, because his singing partner "quacked", literally, "quacked", in the background vocal harmony. It was a funny live moment. but, they were just as serious too: Eli's Coming (live), fer sure shows that!
I went to high school with Mike Allsup from TDN. We'd fill up the car and head to San Francisco to watch him in his band. Usually 3 or 4 bands a night. Santana, Janis Joplin with Big brother and the holding company, TDN, Jefferson Airplane on and on. It was a great time for live music.
Now you have to hear the original written by Paul Williams. It was amazing how various artists did their own twists on songs of this era. So great to watch and hear!
One, Joy to the World, Mama Told Me,Never Been to Spain. This band had three very distinct vocalists and each one was killer. " Jeremiah was a bullfrog, he was a good friend of mine."
3 Dog Night-The Show Must Go On The intro is like circus music but the piece that sounds like circus music is actually called Entrance of the Gladiators
From my teens but I'd never seen this live performance and didn't realize what a lark this was for them. Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention.
I was pretty young when this incredible music came out but multiple decades later I appreciate them more and more. Got to see TDN 3 times before Cory left us much too soon.
Old Fashioned Love Song!!!! one of my favorite songs as a child and when I first saw this performance I enjoyed it sooo much. And when you said we got a wild one I couldn't stop laughing !!
I saw them live a couple of times back in the day and they joked and laughed and cut up and danced through the show, talking to the audience and having fun.
I was 10 in '75, and grew up listening to Three Dog Night. This song was written for them by Paul Williams, who was never my favorite vocalist, but Man!, could he write a hit song. TDN toured into the 2000s, and every time they'd come to town, I'd take my mom to their show. They never failed to entertain and their chops remained just as strong to the end. The already suggested Never Been To Spain is one of my favorites, but Pieces Of April is the song that, life-long, has never failed to bring a tear to my eye. You & your fam stay well.
As a white kid in the 70s with arrow-straight hair, I was jealous as hell of black people's afros. I looked forward to being old enough to at least grow an epic mustache or beard. Then I got older and discovered that I couldn't grow decent facial hair at gunpoint. Man, other people get to have all the fun with hair. *kicks can*
They were an awesome group. I was just a kid and I loved all their songs and saw some of their performances on TV. You will want to react to Black & White, One, Joy To The World, and Celebrate. Great reaction, Jamel. I am glad you enjoyed it.
hungfao I knew I should have read the comment before posting mine... anyway, I’m a huge Paul Williams Fan... recently watched The Phantom of The Paradice... great old film 🤓
I saw them on tv New Years Eve in the early 70’s and had an instant crush. Still love their music. One and Pieces of April are great. And I also wore those bell bottoms and had that hairstyle - Chuck - we all did, girls too lol
Have you done "Eli's Coming" yet? Btw: early live recordings often had a silent audience.... People were there to hear something , not try to make themselves heard.
@@mikelly1128 I would not trade the time we grew up for any time in American history! The children of the '60s and 70s had the greatest teen years ever!
I was a teenager in the 70's and it was the best decade for rock!! We wore hip hugger bell bottom jeans, long straight hair and platform heels!! Btw I really enjoy your reactions and enjoyment of real rocking music!! Great TH-cam channel!!!
Funny story bout Brandy: I ran a place where we had karoake. DJ brought in a friend, 40+ years old, shirt unbuttoned showing all his chest hair, strutting his 70’s beaded necklace. He’d walk thru the audience trying to get all the young chicks to sing along with him. It was so creepy I had to tell the DJ not to bring him back and now I can’t hear the song without thinking about the sight! Ugh!
Jamel, between the mustache, the tongue, the smiling and the funny sounds at the end and most especially YOUR REACTION! I have been laughing so hard LMAO!!!!!!!
Three Dog Night has stood the test of time, and their songs float around and pop their head up in store Muzak. They will continue to pop up in many different places and times. Never really gone....
Three Dog Night was such a talented band. They are clearly having fun.
It's so wonderful to look back on all these artists who had enough talent to just come out on stage and dazzle you with pure talent... no light shows, no dancers, no autotune, not coming out half naked (like so many female artists feel they need to do nowadays). Pure talent!
That's actually three part harmony. Three singers doing their own thing and blending it together.
This is a requirement of all artists, if anyone plans to cover "An Old Fashioned Love Song" it has to be done by an actual vocal trio, bottom line.
Wrote for you and me
They are definitely "hamming" it up and having fun - I LOVE this band! BTW, their version of "Easy To Be Hard" from the musical 'Hair' is amazing!
This group probably had three of the best singers in rock during that era. Try, ONE or Mama Told Me Not to Come.
L E, No, becauseOne is the loneliest number.
No, well, I've never been to spain,,, but I've been to Oklahoma!
Lrol
Love TDN, but damn, he's singing off pitch here. Hard for me to listen to this performance when so many of the notes are off.
*Easy to be Hard*
Hell. They could could totally rock the house with songs like Traffic's Feeling Alright, Heaven is in Your Mind, The Band's Chest Fever, and the amazing song Celebrity Ball/Celebrate.
His moustache has more talent than 90% of today's "popular" artists.
lol Chuck has a great mustache, voice and personality. I agree...the junk they put out now could put one into a coma. It's pain to the brain.
That’s a true statement
He’s right, put you in a coma. I did it, a stroke. Twelve years ago, I was in a coma. Listening to this! But you’re right, 90% of the artists put the “artists” away.

Very good group back in the day. Eli's coming, Easy to be Hard, Shambala. Lots of hits.

Eric Anderson888 Liar, Joy To The World, Show Must Go On also.
One, never been to spain
And don't forget "Brickyard Blues"!
Shamabala is a full on mood.
The "wild child" is hamming it up, singing in increasingly older styles to suit the theme of the song. Great performers.
No half-assed moustaches there!!! The 70's was FUN TIMES and FUN MUSIC!!!
Agree..made you feel good about everything..esp..yourself...personal experience of course...I'm so happy I found this now...used to listen only on radio back then..no TV no mobile..now I see their images on videos...wow..just love them..tq for sharing...cheers..

I been leaving requests for three dog night everywhere and finally here they are. How awesome are they
JOANNE DUNGAN me too, Joanne. Three dog night have been my go to pickup for any fit of the blues or troubled patch of life. Is there anything more joyous in the world than Joy to the World?
@@hannyhawkins7804 I know right
Love them - Joy to the World was fabulous
He's Gotta show Cory do Elis Commin
Me Too!
Who remembers the shell necklaces, also worn by David Cassidy. I loved those necklaces.
Yeah,but bead necklaces were in.I made alot of them and gave them away to my friends.The 70s was timeless, we that lived it can never forget .
I still have mine, but it doesn't fit anymore.
Corey has such a wonderful voice and the dogs harmonies are spot on. I am a fan for life.
Cory Wells was my favorite among those three. Yes he has soulful voice.
Chuck on lead on this one.

They were a joy to listen to and watch - happy music. Try "Joy to the World" and "Celebrate".
He'd know the begining to Joy to the world, I'd lay bets on it just about!!!!!
He did Joy a while ago

I believe old boy is doing his take on Al Jolson, the jazz singer from the 1920s!
Yesss! Thats what I was hearing! Thank you.. 🤟
His voice is awesome...tq
sadly, im certain that was lost on most.
Bingo!
I'll add to the votes for their song, "One" - It's one of the most beautiful songs of the era. It was written by Harry Nilsson (another artist whose work you should take a deep dive into).
Nilsson wrote several good songs for the Monkees, Cuddly Toy and Daddy's Song, both great
@@andrewft31 And ironically had his biggest hit with someone else's song ("Without You") originally written and recorded by Badfinger.
I got to watch one of their last performances at the Oregon State Fair in the early eightees. Only about half the band and Chuck Negron showed.

Never been to Spain- Three Dog Night
Elvis sang it live as well, 1972, one of the Texas concerts.
I second this!
(Elvis covered it but, even though I am a huge fan of Elvis, I prefer the Three Dog Night version of Never Been to Spain!)
I second this!!
You got to admit, the 70's music was a lot better than most realize
Lived it!!
At 68 I'm still enjoying the same music as I did as a teenager .😊

The down on one knee thing was an imitation of Al Jolson (back in 1920's).
No, no...Eddie Cantor! Watch the attempt with the eyes.
Every member of the group could sing, they had a no 1 hit with each one singing lead.
A song you and your grandmother both can listen to and enjoy, priceless
He went full Al Jolson, you never go full Al Jolson, haha
It can earn you a boot in the pants!!
Peace :D

Jimmy Cagney as well!
McGruff studio for recording was better but live.... entertaining!
@@sharondelaney9153 Yep, 1920s Vaudville style.

along with a lot of other tunes

This is my favorite era of music. I was born in 1965 but I love the 70s more than 80s and certainly more than 90s. Thanks for the memories!
You should try the song Liar by Three Dog Night that one is my favorite by them.
I went to high school with Mike Allsup from TDN. We'd fill up the car and head to San Francisco to watch him in his band. Usually 3 or 4 bands a night. Santana, Janis Joplin with Big brother and the holding company, TDN, Jefferson Airplane on and on. It was a great time for live music.
Wow....

I was born in 1970, so couldn’t appreciate this music back then. The ‘70s music was the shit!
Danny Hutton’s carnival barker is classic ❤️
One, Joy to the World, Mama Told Me,Never Been to Spain. This band had three very distinct vocalists and each one was killer. " Jeremiah was a bullfrog, he was a good friend of mine."
Not sure if you have done "Never Been to Spain", but that one is iconic from this band.
My favorite!
Written by the very talented Paul Williams.......actor, singer, song writer and Oscar winner
3 Dog Night-The Show Must Go On
The intro is like circus music but the piece that sounds like circus music is actually called Entrance of the Gladiators
BJ My favorite song by 3 Dog Night.
Leo sayers is better
One of my favorite bands that I saw live in the early 70s. I had all their albums!
Chuck Negron had a voice like whipped cream. So smooth and sweet.
love the sound and feel of Three Dog Night's song Liar. would be great song to react to.
From my teens but I'd never seen this live performance and didn't realize what a lark this was for them. Thanks so much for bringing this to my attention.
Danny Huttons funny faces is him doing The Great Gildersleeves , IS EVERYBODY Happy.. speil.
Good call, I forgot about that. Some talent here that's for sure. Not always my style but still a big talent.
makes me laugh too
I was pretty young when this incredible music came out but multiple decades later I appreciate them more and more. Got to see TDN 3 times before Cory left us much too soon.
He was up there doing a little Herb Tarlik. If y'all know who that is, come on down to the 1st annual turkey drop and get your turkey.
Can I bring Andy?
they had a lot of great songs ...I was one of the lucky people to be a teenager back in the 70s when they were big..we rocked those bell bottoms!
"Black and White", "joy to the world"
Love the hair styles...high waist bell bottom Jean's...gorgeous..used to wear those...sweet memories...cheers..
Danny (wild one) always had fun on stage. To understand his actions, you need to watch some old Vaudeville. Especially, Al Jolson.
Three Dog Night was the FIRST band's album I bought as a kid.

You guys do realize that these guys were one of the most popular bands of the 70s!
I've never heard the live version. They sure were having fun. That was my time and it was not an easy song to dance to.
They were an awesome group. I was just a kid and I loved all their songs and saw some of their performances on TV. You will want to react to Black & White, One, Joy To The World, and Celebrate. Great reaction, Jamel. I am glad you enjoyed it.
"The Show Must Go On" is another great song by them!! Live or studio version. The live version is from this same show.
I've seen them twice & they still being the big personalities! I love those old hippies!!! ✌
I believe this is a Paul Williams song that was intended to be hammy.
Paul Williams does it better.
Yes. I remember Paul Williams singing it on "The Odd Couple".
Paul Williams is such an excellent songwriter
hungfao I knew I should have read the comment before posting mine... anyway, I’m a huge Paul Williams Fan... recently watched The Phantom of The Paradice... great old film 🤓
Yes it is 😊
I just got chills! Love these songs!!!! Thanks for sharing 3 dog !!!! You enjoyed it too!!!!!
Thank you! Great reaction, to a great band. Try "The Show Must Go On" and "Never Been To Spain", I think they're great songs.
I saw them on tv New Years Eve in the early 70’s and had an instant crush. Still love their music. One and Pieces of April are great. And I also wore those bell bottoms and had that hairstyle - Chuck - we all did, girls too lol
These guys were awesome - lots of hits!
Have you done "Eli's Coming" yet?
Btw: early live recordings often had a silent audience.... People were there to hear something , not try to make themselves heard.
When I bought this album, I was wearing Hip Huggers, now I have an AARP card that's almost as wrinkled as I am... Good gravy where does the time go?
It goes behind you and you miss it. Or it goes ahead of you and you try to catch up with it. If you're lucky, it's at your side.
Ah yes hip-huggers! 16 year old sophomore and 75 it was a good time to be a teenager
@@mikelly1128 I would not trade the time we grew up for any time in American history! The children of the '60s and 70s had the greatest teen years ever!
I got to see them several times back in the day and they were as much fun as it appears in the video.
Ow my face! I can’t handle so much overwhelming silliness and fun!🤣
I was a teenager in the 70's and it was the best decade for rock!! We wore hip hugger bell bottom jeans, long straight hair and platform heels!! Btw I really enjoy your reactions and enjoyment of real rocking music!! Great TH-cam channel!!!
That is why 60's70'sand80'smusic was great for everyone
Please do “Looking Glass” “Brandy” Another great review... artists today can’t match 70’s music..
Funny story bout Brandy: I ran a place where we had karoake. DJ brought in a friend, 40+ years old, shirt unbuttoned showing all his chest hair, strutting his 70’s beaded necklace. He’d walk thru the audience trying to get all the young chicks to sing along with him. It was so creepy I had to tell the DJ not to bring him back and now I can’t hear the song without thinking about the sight! Ugh!
oh yes love that tune
Have made it to 1974 so far checking out Billboard top 100s in the 70s. Most of the songs I recognized and very often really liked.
These guys were my first concert. 1974 in West Palm Beach, Florida. They were great singers and showmen. They were not lazy put on a great show.
Jamel, between the mustache, the tongue, the smiling and the funny sounds at the end and most especially YOUR REACTION! I have been laughing so hard LMAO!!!!!!!
Three Dog Night has stood the test of time, and their songs float around and pop their head up in store Muzak. They will continue to pop up in many different places and times. Never really gone....
Suggestion...the group is called Orleans...their hit songs: Still the One, Love Takes Time, Dance With Me
Good stuff that
