Back to the groovy new 1969-1974 set. The kids dance to Three Dog Night’s #10 hit. This was their 3rd top ten hit in 1969 following “One” (#5) and “Easy To Be Hard” (#4) and this was just the beginning for them. They would have #1 hits every year for the next 3 years; 1970 - “Mama Told Me Not To Come”, 1971 -“Joy To The World”, and 1972 - “Black and White”, among many other hits in the early 70’s.
Laura Nyro wrote and originally recorded “Eli’s Comin’” (as it was originally titled) in 1967, but it was not successful until Three Dog Night recorded it in ’69. Laura would go on to write hit songs for the 5th Dimension - “Wedding Bell Blues”, “Stone Soul Picnic”, and for Blood, Sweat and Tears - “And When I Die”.
…..And premiering on NBC tonight is Rod Serling’s new follow up series to the “Twilight Zone” called “Night Gallery”. One of the 3 stories airing in tonight’s pilot episode, titled “Eyes”, was about a blind woman who buys the eyes of a desperate man (Happy Days’ Tom Bosley) in need of money (very creepy). It starred Joan Crawford and was directed by a 21-year-old new up-and-comer, Steven Spielberg.
Airdate: Nov. 8, 1969
