Los Angeles, United States (1968 – present)

Three Dog Night is an American band from Los Angeles, California best known for their music from 1968 to 1975, during which time they achieved twenty-one consecutive Billboard Top 40 Hits and 12 consecutive Gold Albums. Three Dog Night are still active in 2010, touring and recording 41 years after their first album was released. The first of the band’s 7 million-selling singles was One in 1969. They scored three number one singles: Mama Told Me (Not To Come), Joy To The World and Black And White.

The original lineup included three lead vocalists — Danny Hutton, Chuck Negron, and Cory Wells — along with Michael Allsup on guitar, Jimmy Greenspoon on keyboards Floyd Sneed on drums and Joe Schermie (from the Cory Wells Blues Band) on bass.

Three Dog Night recorded some tracks with Beach Boys producer, composer, vocalist, and instrumentalist Brian Wilson before signing with Dunhill Records and at the time went under the name Redwood. The band changed their name based on an article describing how Australian Aborigines slept with their dogs for warmth on cold nights, the coldest being a “three-dog night.”

    @ Druid66: yea, and not just tuneful & somber.....but politically charged too even if a lot of it was kind of tongue in cheek.

    These guys get dismissed a lot for being "pop-rock" - but give them another listen, to appreciate how tuneful and somber they really were.

    I love this band so much. Cory is the best singer. My favorite has to be his cover of 'Try A Little Tenderness.' Gorgeous rendition. <3

    One of my favorite rock bands of the late 60s and early to mid 1970s. Favorite tracks include "Black & White", "Sunlight" and "Eli's Coming".

    I remember listening to them on AM radio and then on 8-track and vinyl (when I could afford it). They could sing, which was a lot more than a lot of rock bands from the 70s! :) Great stuff, still...

    I need to convert more of my vinyl collection to mp3. I'd have a lot more Three Dog Night to listen to, at the very least.
