FIRST TIME REACTING TO | Three Dog Night "One"

[@chetstevensq]

1st band to hit number 1 on Billboard with three different lead singers. Not a choir, three individually talented vocalists.

[@tonydelapa1911]

I am surprised that none of George Harrison’s song with The Beatles made it to #1. Shame.

[@jerrypost9651]

​@@tonydelapa1911True. But "My Sweet Lord" was the first single by a solo Beatle to reach the top of the charts. 😊

[@keymack2477]

@@tonydelapa1911 I don't know if The Beatles beat Three Dog Night in terms of when their songs became #1 but "Something" off of Abbey Road went to the top of the charts.

[@tonydelapa1911]

@@keymack2477 interesting. I searched a couple ways before commenting but did not find it listed. The “when” as you say may have been the issue.

[@jerrypost9651]

@@keymack2477 The Beatles had tons of number ones before Three Dog Night emerged, going back to "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "She Loves You" in 1963. And I'd forgotten about "Something." Harrison's beautiful song was paired with John's "Come Together" as a double-A side, and it did reach No. 1.

[@tomlester8705]

One of the greatest ensemble of musicians that need a shout-out.

[@merlinsclaw]

Three Dog Night (not related to each other) was a trio with three lead singers. What you heard on this song is the incredible voice of Chuck Negron. 💙

[@marjoried.9277]

Incredible Indeed!!

[@betseyr.9081]

One of the best cover bands ever recorded! 3 lead singers who turned out many top 40 hits. Epic covers for this band include “Eli’s Coming", “Easy To Be Hard”, “Joy to the World”, "Mama Told Me Not To Come” and “Celebrate” just to mention a very few.

[@ferdinandfrancis9673]

I agree, a great band, my personal favorites ....black and white/ old fashion love song/out in the country.

[@stpnwlf9]

Definitely a hit machine in their day. Not only 3 great lead singes, but the 4-pc rhythm section behind them were really talented, too!

[@jjflash1645]

What do you mean a cover band? Other bands covered them. A great group.

[@betseyr.9081]

@@jjflash1645 They are considered a “cover band” because they do not do their own original music, they instead perform songs written by others, it’s by no way a put down, just fact.

100% agree with the comments suggesting “Eli’s Coming.” Even though 3DN had numerous, catchy songs back in the day, EC stands out as a truly spiritual experience. Grab your church fan!

I've been listening to them since I was a small child in the late 70s

[@Noname-ni1dy]

The sixties and seventies were definitely the golden age for music, so many great vocalists.

[@LJA46]

Living in this great era was such a blessing because of the fantastic creativity of the musicians of that time.

[@keith6485]

MAN, I miss this stuff. There was a time when you could crank up the radio in your car as you cruised and every song was amazing stuff like this. Those of us who came of age in those days didn't realize how special it was at the time.

[@e-5ruben807]

You are so right. I was raised in the 60's. So much good music back then. I mean real music, not like a lot of the junk they have today.

Love your reaction! My wife's favorite 3 Dog Night song is Shambala. Great groove! BTW, the name of the band is a thing. In Alaska, where it can get really cold you might need three dogs to keep you warm!

[@charlesf2804]

They aren't brothers, but they sound good! The 3 singers are Danny Hutton, Cory Wells, and Chuck Negron, who took the lead here. For other TDN tunes, I'd recommend "Liar," "Out in the Country," and their cover of "Try A Little Tenderness." Prejudice perhaps, but those are my favorites of theirs. Oh, and "Black and White" is also a good one.

[@ellet6560]

I have loved this song since it’s release 54 years ago! Agree with suggestion for “Without You” reaction by Nilsson.

[@betsylocario6453]

I always thought that this song means: 1 may be the loneliness number after you break up, but sometimes 2 can also be very lonely if you're still in the middle of a relationship that isn't working out.

[@rcinsley]

3DN was an AWESOME band in the '60s & '70s. They had MANY hits, and in concert they could deliver non-stop high energy performances...because they had 3 lead singers. While one was carrying the load, the other two rested their voices.

[@david_aloni]

One of the things that always fascinated me about this song was how the band took Harry Nilsson's original, dirge-like version and transformed it into an incredibly catchy rocker that makes you want to leap to your feet and dance while you sing along. My other favorite of theirs is their cover of Laura Nyro's "Eli's Coming," which matches "One" in it's energy, ear-catching appeal and danceability. And, no, the three lead singers are not brothers.

[@victoriagrove5344]

Three Dog Night could take a song and make it a number one hit. There were three of them and all were lead singers so they traded off. You might want to check into their catalog. They performed several written by Laura Nyro ( “Eli’s Coming”). They were so good!!

[@kathyparry9635]

Three Dog Night was my first concert in1967.

[@bertcopeland]

I was lucky enough to see them live. Every song they did was awesome. Thanks for the video.

[@rousefire]

When I was little the juke box at the neighborhood bar and grill include Three Dog Nights "Liar" . It wasnt one of their biggest hits but remains my favorite of theirs. Same thing with CCR's "Sweet Hitchhiker".

[@stevedahlberg8680]

Three Dog Night is one of those bands that everybody just really liked it. They're easy to like and they were really really good. And they wrote Such catchy songs. I heard this a lot in Junior and Senior High and yet, over the years, it will just randomly pop into my head now and then out of the blue, it's just that well written and penetrating.

[@curiousman1672]

Chuck Negron is one of my favorite singers. TDN was absolutely huge 50 years ago. So many hits.

[@robertspino521]

it was a number one song and its was yes the first song ever on the charts.

[@kevinstarr516]

Born in 1967, This is the music I was listened to while my in my early formative years probably beginning when I saw Elvis Presley in Las Vegas in August 1969. This was probably one of the most popular bands next to Led Zeppelin, The Jackson 5 and anything Motown, The Osmond Brothers, Gary Puckett & The Union Gap, Chicago, CCR, Blood, Sweat & Tears, and The Beatles my older siblings (I am the youngest of us 4) had me listening to back then.

[@Lion-9699]

I always wondered why they called themselves “Three Dog Night”…Lol

[@G-MAN1958]

So cool!! No, they aren't related, but they were/are lifelong friends. The bands' name comes from referring to the coldest of nights in Australia as "a three dog night"😄. "Mamma Told Me Not To Come" is another great song from TDN!

[@RicardoRoams]

On September 12, 1969, I attended my very first concert. Performing that night were The Grass Roots, Three Dog Night, and Steppenwolf. I was not that familiar with Three Dog Night before that evening. They recorded their performance for a live album and they stole the show! People were rocking out in the aisles! And the price of my ticket for this concert? $2.50.

I got to these guys in 1972 (I think) It was a great show. They came to Salt Lake City in the old Salt Palace and it was a fun night.

Not brothers. The group was from Australia. Saw them at North Hollywood High School. I even got the chance to toss a football around with the drummer. 3 lead vocalists and a solid band behind, they were one of a kind. A really cold night in Australia is called a 3 dog night.

Joy to the World and Mama Told Me Not To Come - both a lot of fun to listen to :)

I was into Three Dog Night as a kid. I was too young to be a Beatles fan (became one later on of course) and Three Dog Night was marketed as "the next Beatles". While they fell short of that...as most bands did...they did dominate the Pop music scene for a while.

[@RJ-oy7cq]

Britt--the thing this group has is 3 excellent lead singers and harmonies.

In the Australian outback, how cold it is determines how many dogs you let in your sleeping bag... A three dog night is darn cold. TDN are Americans but I always thought their name was pretty cool.

[@nealhoffman7518]

The 70s were fantastic, the 60s were amazingly experimental and delves places that make you wonder. The 50s were just a lot of fun. The 80s tried to bring back the fun, with some of the experimental elements of the 60s, but didn't quite match either. The 90s were split between commercialism and rebellion (which became commercialized) the 2000s leaned deep into finding the poppiest pop song. The 10s tried to be nostalgic without the feeling that the actual nostalgia lol

[@TheMinster1960]

The three vocalists of Three Dog Night were not brothers. Chuck Negron (the lead singer on One), Corey Wells and Danny Hutton formed together as the vocal group Redwood and did some preliminary recording with Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys. When that fell through the three singers brought in the musicians Floyd Sneed (drums), Joe Schermie (bass), Michael Allsup (guitar) and Jimmy Greenspoon (keyboards) and renamed themselves Three Dog Night. One was a top 10 hit in 1968 and helped propel the band to stardom. Three Dog Night was all over the radio from 1968 to 1974 with many top 40 hits. An interesting fact is that each lead singer managed to score a number one hit. Danny Hutton sang the lead on Black And White, Corey Wells sang the lead on Mama Told Me Not To Come, and Chuck Negron sang the lead on Joy To The World. All three hit the top of the top 40.
