We white people got soul. I protected a black boy from bullies in 1971 in Junior High against white bullies. I'm a white Veteran from Wyoming, the Equality State.
I'm an old white lady and there was more freedom to be yourself without someone thinking you were a racist. We just all got along and didn't worry about skin color. It was the friendly accepting time and our political cronies weren't spreading hate & division like they are now.
What you said about whites and blacks in the 1970's is so right on. Our society was very different then and into the 1980's. I miss that so much. I thought the warmth and peace and fun would last. I loved it.
BS. The ones that became more racist and violent are who ? Whites ? Dont be stupid and thing who is into destruction and debacle. Think ! Im a an old Latino In USA for 40 years. Seen that.
@1:05 you are so right. Because we listened to music on the radio, we didn't always know if a singer or group was black, white or other! Everybody loved a wide variation of music, no matter who sang it!
Music of the sixties and seventies was filled with funk, blues, soul, r&b, all of it! We didn't care in the least who was producing it. And in the days before auto-tune, digital remixing, and all that crap, it took REAL talent to get noticed and recorded. Al of that is why it was the best music ever.
Us from the 60's & 70's are still around and feel the same way, we're just old and nobody listens to us anymore, lol! Glad you like some of our favorites, it makes us feel goooood! Thanks!
As a young white dude, we loved funk music in the 70s. And believe it or not, so do my children - I make them playlists from the 1970's which include Sly & the Family Stone, Ohio Players, KC and The Sunshine Band, The Temptations, James Brown, Wild Cherry, Curtis Mayfield, etc.
Yeah, I feel you. Where did it go? I'm 70 years old and thank the Good Lord i lived through the best times for music. Although having said that, Beethoven and Bach will never die.
I miss the days when radio was fantastic, radio stations played all sorts of music and had no color considerations, if it was a good song it got played. Of course DJ’s had more control of what they wanted to play too.
i've had this discussion several times. There is a very definite point where radio changed in the late 90s, and its when they eliminated the limit how many radio stations each company could own. After that, radio became homogenous, same set list on every station, etc. It was very sad. Those were my HS years, and we were very conscious of the demarcation line between when we could hear all kinds of smaller artists vs when it was the same 10 songs over and over.
This is one of my most favorite songs ever!!! A deep dive on them is required!!! And a GIFT! Lol. I think you'll like alot of their music. Thank you so much! ❤ We still dancing decades later!!! Hahahahahahaha!
7 member band with 3 of them being lead singers. Absolutely one of my favorite groups. Saw 3 did night past Nov. Only original singer left is Danny Hutton (dark curly hair black gold jacket ) Corey Wells the lead singer of this song passed away 2015, Chuck Negron officially left the group in 1985.
I have seen these guys live and they have fun on stage the whole time. It is amazing how many songs they have done that I had forgotten about. A great group with a large collection of songs.
Gotta do 'Old Fashioned Love Song ' too much fun. Great group. Named for a cold night when you need three dogs to keep warm. 'So cold it was a 'three dog night's. Also there were three lead singers. ❤
Three Dog Night is an American-Irish rock band from the 60's-70's. This band had a lot of energy. They had 3 guys with great voices that could all sing lead vocals. Hope you check out some more of their music. Some other great songs are "One", "Just An Old fashioned Love Song", Eli's Coming", Shambala", "Never Been To Spain", "Joy To The World", Try A Little Tenderness", "Easy To Be Hard", "The Show Must Go On" etc.
Floyd Sneed was the original drummer (1968 - 1975) and he was born and raised in Calgary Alberta, Canada. Fun fact - he was Canadian Tommy Chong's (Cheech and Chong) brother-in-law and was the drummer in Tommy's band.
Irish? BS Carlos Charles Negro'n was Irish? You Liar. Main front man and Main Singer Charles Negro'n was a song of a Puerto Rican nightclub singer of the 1940's in New York City. He wrote " Im never been to Spain" and others AS THE MAIN SINGER..
I was born in 1970 and my mama, daddy and uncles truly influenced me with their musical choices. I have loved Three Dog Night since I was a child. I have been very blessed to grow up and experience first hand the greatest music on earth 🎼❤️🎼
Randy Newman wrote Mama Told Me Not to Come. He's best known for writing music for movies. He wrote the scores for the Toy Story movies, including the song You've Got a Friend in Me. He also wrote the music for A Bug's Life, Monsters Inc., Cars, Parenthood, Seabiscuit, Meet the Parents, and Pleasantville.
Love this by Three Dog Night. You should give a listen to them singing Eli’s Coming. It’s beautiful and was a big hit for them. Yes they definitely had soul. Thanks for the great reaction. 👏👏
One of my favorite band in that era, and my favorite song was "Easy to be hard", can I request that song, kind of slow but sooo good. I am in my late 60, and still listening to all these oldies.
Hee Hee! Great reaction! The 70's were the best for music and dancing!!! I saw 3DN when I was in Junior High School. Love love love them!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Music was just music when I was growing up (cough) in the 70's! I can't remember even 1 time saying something was 🤍 or 🖤 music. Listened to absolutely everything. Loved what I loved. 💖
That's the late, great Cory Wells singing lead. Such a soulful voice. For a more serious but just as soulful experience please react to him singing Otis Redding's classic "Try A Little Tenderness". Three Dog Night's music was diverse & always good! 💙☮💙☮💙☮💙☮💙☮💙
Thank you. I'd never heard them do this version, with altered lyrics and instrumentals. Very nice! It's not the one we got on the radio. And of course, we had no internet. 💚
I remember listening to their music down in someone's basement, his mother keep yelling down at us as the smoke was drifting up the stairs....crazy 70's..
These days on my laptop I've been pulling up the lyrics to popular songs I've always liked to see what the actual lyrics are. Sometimes I had the words wrong.
This back when you music was music. But I guess the greatest one I have ever heard of. Buddy Holly and the Crickets opened live when the curtains were pulled back. I don't know who was shocked more the black people in the audience or Buddy and his guys. But I think Buddy handled it perfectly.
Thanks, Mug! this song was actually written by the amazing Randy Newman -- look him up! (p.s. Three Dog Night had a lot of other great songs... "Joy to the World" you may have heard...)
Cory Wells, the lead singer in this song, used to joke about how "Mama Told Me Not to Come" was the first rap song. He was the more animated/dancer singer in the group.
You are right about the 70's . Music and culture everything in full bloom. Best ERA for Rock. Festivals that lasted for days. You would have loved it.🎵😊 And those of us FORTUNATE enough to live through this ERA are truly blessed. Check out AVERAGE WHITE BAND, WILD CHERRY, CHICAGO ,TINA MARIE ... Even early Disco was a great blending of Black and White musicians. KC and THE SUNSHINE BAND. So much good stuff. I've noticed several new TV commercials are using 70's Rock Band hits in the background. Good stuff❗
You are definitely right about the 70’s. Sadly the current trend is separating by race , religion and sex. Hell , I don’t know what happened. Great reaction to a great song. Much love ❤️
Lynnwood 😈 Brian in the 70's my cousin scene these guy's in LA. She was telling me how good they were. They were soulful and the drummer was a brother.
Main front man and Main Singer Charles Negro'n was a song of a Puerto Rican nightclub singer of the 1940's in New York City. He wrote " Im never been to Spain" and others AS THE MAIN SINGER. He was not "Irish".
This is a rabbit hole you will love.
I am sorry you missed it. 72 year old. best times of all of our lives. Thank you for bringing it back.
this was my moms garage band literally they rehearsed in her garage even stopped a concert to sing her happy birthday rip mom
We white people got soul. I protected a black boy from bullies in 1971 in Junior High against white bullies. I'm a white Veteran from Wyoming, the Equality State.
As a teenager of the 70s, I agree!!! You are absolutely right!!!!! The 70s was the best era ever!!!❤
💗
As another 70s teen, agreed! Plus 3 Dog Night were terrific!
Almost. Nothing beats the 60s.
AMEN!
You got that right "Connie"!!!
I'm an old white lady and there was more freedom to be yourself without someone thinking you were a racist. We just all got along and didn't worry about skin color. It was the friendly accepting time and our political cronies weren't spreading hate & division like they are now.
True that ☮️ the seventies were awesome. Three Dog was a great band.
Not only did our musicians have soul we had fun no teenage angst
What you said about whites and blacks in the 1970's is so right on. Our society was very different then and into the 1980's. I miss that so much. I thought the warmth and peace and fun would last. I loved it.

You got that right, the 70's were the best, and we all got along, glad I lived it.
I'm an ol' doll of 66 and i loved this track. We had the best music, fashions, free love, values and morals ever . . really , believe me.
White old lady here . . . we rocked. I still carry the groove.
@1:05 you are so right. Because we listened to music on the radio, we didn't always know if a singer or group was black, white or other! Everybody loved a wide variation of music, no matter who sang it!
We were less about differences and more about loving one another. Hippies, peace, love. 💜
Race and Ruin in the democrat party cities last 40 years..

And in the days before auto-tune, digital remixing, and all that crap, it took REAL talent to get noticed and recorded. Al of that is why it was the best music ever.
Unfortunately the days of guitar, bass and drums has been over for many years. No more live performances on SNL, NONE
They have sooooo much good music! They’re part of the soundtrack of my childhood. ❤
Love 3 dog night!!! Shambala, joy to the world, an old fashioned love song!!! Definitely need more 3 dog night!
Us from the 60's & 70's are still around and feel the same way, we're just old and nobody listens to us anymore, lol! Glad you like some of our favorites, it makes us feel goooood! Thanks!

I was blessed to meet Cory six months before he passed 😢 his voice was just as great ❤ he was so kind. Rest in peace 🙏
You are correct young man in the 70s we loved each other

People get caught up (understandably!) in the vocals but that band was one of the best ever and is sadly underappreciated.
You are correct Dave. I was 16 in the 70s and I loved all that music. And I still do the 3 dog night was a great band.
This is one of my most favorite songs ever!!! A deep dive on them is required!!! And a GIFT! Lol. I think you'll like alot of their music. Thank you so much! ❤
We still dancing decades later!!! Hahahahahahaha!

He kinda got the boot. He had needle and nose issues.
Three Dog Night had a lot of hits! They are awesome!
I have seen these guys live and they have fun on stage the whole time. It is amazing how many songs they have done that I had forgotten about. A great group with a large collection of songs.
RIP Cory Wells
Eli’s Coming, Black and White, Shambala and Joy To The World are just a few of their many hits you can react to. Please more Three Dog Night!!
We are all brothers and sisters ❤️
Gotta do 'Old Fashioned Love Song ' too much fun. Great group. Named for a cold night when you need three dogs to keep warm. 'So cold it was a 'three dog night's. Also there were three lead singers. ❤
The 70s, music for everyone and every mood.
Love these guys! Definitely a rabbit hole I would happily follow you down!

Oh yes! And don't forget, "Jeremia Was Bullfrog."

Their fantastic voices!
My favorite group and Cory Wells my favorite male vocalist, may he rest in peace. BTW, Cory always seemed to enjoy performing.
I'm hip to it bro rock on Mike FLA
The kids of the 70’s are in their 60’s today.
Still groovin…still way cooler than the rest.
I was born in 1970 and my mama, daddy and uncles truly influenced me with their musical choices. I have loved Three Dog Night since I was a child. I have been very blessed to grow up and experience first hand the greatest music on earth 🎼❤️🎼
First time? Damn, been listening to this since it was released. Deep bow to you, for keeping it alive.
You really should check out their cover of Otis Redding's song " try a little tenderness" you talk about soul? Man Cory Wells had it in spades✌️
Their "Ely's Coming " is a good one
Never Been to Spain, Shambala, An Old Fashioned Love Song
Yes! We danced, we got along…the 70’s were fun with great music! I still dance….just a little slower 😂
Yeah man it's true there was a cool that's been lost. The guys were real!

I was always a fan of "black and white"

Love this by Three Dog Night. You should give a listen to them singing Eli’s Coming. It’s beautiful and was a big hit for them. Yes they definitely had soul. Thanks for the great reaction. 👏👏
Freakin fantastic!!!!!70,'s were the bomb!!!!
We were high all the time in the 70's. Everyone was much more chilled.
One of my favorite band in that era, and my favorite song was "Easy to be hard", can I request that song, kind of slow but sooo good. I am in my late 60, and still listening to all these oldies.
So lucky to be young in the seventies.❤️

Hee Hee! Great reaction! The 70's were the best for music and dancing!!! I saw 3DN when I was in Junior High School. Love love love them!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Music was just music when I was growing up (cough) in the 70's! I can't remember even 1 time saying something was 🤍 or 🖤 music. Listened to absolutely everything. Loved what I loved. 💖
Yes, we had soul in the 70s and we still do.
All time best 3 Dog Night song is "Just an Old Fashioned Love Song".
Really awesome reaction! Loved your genuine thoughts and reactions🫡
I still believe that your understanding of lyrics is great! Another example, to me. Thanks!!!!🎉
I love watching you young guys react to the music I grew up on!

Love this group
Never been to Spain and Eli’s Coming are great! And the 70’s was a wonderful time to grow up
My brother! Thank you! Yes we were different in the 70s!
They call Three Dog Night the world's most successful cover band!
That's the late, great Cory Wells singing lead. Such a soulful voice. For a more serious but just as soulful experience please react to him singing Otis Redding's classic "Try A Little Tenderness".
Three Dog Night's music was diverse & always good!
💙☮💙☮💙☮💙☮💙☮💙
Lol! you're so right about us whiteys - my soul up and left me in sometime in '79😂😂😂😂
Thank you. I'd never heard them do this version, with altered lyrics and instrumentals. Very nice! It's not the one we got on the radio. And of course, we had no internet. 💚
We loved dancing in 70s we went to a lot of live shows at schools bands shopping centres open air concerts before MTV
Love your reaction ♥️
I remember listening to their music down in someone's basement, his mother keep yelling down at us as the smoke was drifting up the stairs....crazy 70's..
Absolutely Loved MOTOWN .........SOUL !!!
These days on my laptop I've been pulling up the lyrics to popular songs I've always liked to see what the actual lyrics are. Sometimes I had the words wrong.
You might like their 'Black and White' and 'Joy to the World'.
The 70’s were a great time to be alive. I miss them.
You are right on point about the 70's!!
Most of the music your listening too I grew up on and still listen to BUT… I get a kick and enjoy your reactions even more! ❤️
Thank you I'll take that as a compliment😂
I am 70 years young ..white..I never stopped dancing..white people never stopped dancing..peace..
This back when you music was music. But I guess the greatest one I have ever heard of. Buddy Holly and the Crickets opened live when the curtains were pulled back. I don't know who was shocked more the black people in the audience or Buddy and his guys. But I think Buddy handled it perfectly.
We tried to drag it into the 80’s but disco cut us off at the pass 😉😂💕
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😆😆😆🤣🤣
This made me giggle Sherry lol
Disco was the Worst! Hardly any great music in the eighties.
3 Dog has some really great fun songs: Joy To The World, Just An Important or Fashioned Love Song, Shambala, and more.
"Joy to the World" when we were in the car from a very young age my kids would say play Jeremiah was a bullfrog! They knew all the words.
Thanks, Mug! this song was actually written by the amazing Randy Newman -- look him up! (p.s. Three Dog Night had a lot of other great songs... "Joy to the World" you may have heard...)
You just cant miss with 3 dog night.
I think you would like their Never Been to Spain. I loved these guys, and still have their albums and CDs.
We've still got soul. We just dont act like idiots.
Yes! Great Song! 🔥
We didn't all have sticks up our butts back in the 70's! LOL
Written by Randy Newman who also sang this song.
They would play at the plaza parking lot down the road from my house on saturdays back in the 60's in toronto.
Great band.
