Sadly, but true

[@danuy4492]

MTV was later in the 80's and had a big impact on making performance more important than the music itself.

[@kentoramakoto7210]

Yes yes!! A close friend of mine who is a pro musician over the past 25 years even stated that anyone can make a studio album but it is about being a good live performer that makes the difference. This concept carried over into what became MTV, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THE MUSIC COMMUNITY EVER CONSIDERED THAT IT WOULD REPLACE A BAND'S GOING OUT ON THE ROAD

[@IdahoRanchGirl]

So true.

You are right! In 75, none of us knew racism, hatred, or envy. We knew music was good, soul was in a person and music let it out. We were coming together. This right here is us!

[@rosalierodrigues9315]

I lived in the 70's. Three Dog Night were amazing. My husband used to be lead guitarist in another famous band and was a childhood friend of Danny Hutton (singer on the left). I also met Danny. Nice guy. Three Dog Night recorded a song written by my husband. It's on their Harmony album. Lead singer, Cory Wells, unfortunately, passed away as did the keyboard player (Jimmy Greenspoon} and drummer (Floyd Snead}. Chuck Negron, the third lead singer and Danny Hutton are still with us and performing. Three Dog Night had several hits. "One", "Easy To Be Hard", "Mama Told Me Not To Come", "Shambala", "Try A Little Tenderness" and more. Personally, the best music ever was from the 60's and 70's. There will never be anything like these guys or Motown ever again.

[@cherylparker9922]

Three Dog Night were huge when I was a teenager. And you're right- something did happen to the music! In the 70's there was so much great music to listen to; everyone loved music from every genre. I think we thought it would stay that way, but things sure did change.

[@ugaladh]

Bands, groups of excellent musicians getting together to make great music was the thing back then. Now it's about individual artists, about ME, being a celebrity.

[@aspirecan4829]

The 80s and into the very early 90s ended up being the last eras of really great music. They've absolutely RUINED music today by having auto-tuning and "performers". They don't care if you can't sing, as long as you can put on a show and lip sync, and they can auto-tune you(Taylor Swift, anyone?) 🙄. I was in HS in the 80s, and I think of how many singers and songs we would have never had if we went by today's standards. There were a lot of singers that could really sing, but they weren't young(Robert Palmer for one) or they didn't have a Rock look(Christopher Cross, Robert Palmer, Chris DeBurgh, etc). The ones I mentioned above would never get a recording contract today, and I doubt they would even get a foot in the door. It's really unfortunate, because the bad taste of record people and the flash in the pan performers(NOT artists is singers) has destroyed music. In my opinion, I think Rap also led to the downfall of music. I hope we get back to quality music soon!

[@judy-carolbell314]

I am a 76 yr. old white woman. The 60's and 70's were my young adulthood. When you asked, "What happened" meaning "what happened after that, that that wonderful sound went away", it touched chord with me. In the '80s, I listened to the "oldies" mostly. By the '90s, I had pretty much switched to New Age because, that music touched my soul. Pop music rarely did.---I tell you Eliis changed the way America listened --a good thing. The Hammond Organ became big in Black church and pop music. And it caught on with white musicians--and churches. But then there was the Vietnam War, so many young men being killed senselessly. There was the Civil Rights movement, and white young people, the ones I knew, were looking at all the resistence and violence from older whites and shaking our heads. Young and some old were smoking weed, dropping acid. Dealing with parents who could not grasp the value of OUR values, and vice versa. So yes, we were into music with soul, on the one hand, and with outrageous fun on the other. There were popular musicians in the '60s that I honestly could not tell, and did not find out till years later, were not black. --- You asked what happened to the music. It was several things. The once young folks were having to make a living and raise children by then. Electronics, which has brought a multitude of musical blessings, also made it possible for some not-very-talented people to pretend they were singers. I am speaking of Autotune. And that totally soulless dance music of the early 2000s--seems to have been a white thing. On the black side, the early violent, criminal, and misogyistic lyrics in rap music turned off whites in general and women especially. It took a long time for rap to turn into hip hop that decent folks could tolerate. (Not that I blame black musicians for wanting to strike out in new directions and create new styles. And I also can imagine how some of that must have appealed to black youth in the "ghettos". And perhaps that music also appealed to older blacks struggling with redlining in cities, phony desegregation, and awful after more awful et ceteras. I understand, to the extent a white outsider can, the anger and frustration.) --- Well, those are some of the things I noticed as time passed, that weakened and overtly damaged pop music, removed the soul. (I'll throw in one more thing. Country music became middle class music. It mostly always was white music. But that change drew in greater revenue to that genre. One good of the good things that came out of that, though, was the backlash of the "Old Time" music revival. And, some of that Old Time stuff was old-time black music.) Viva la "Soul" and sincere, meaningful music, as well as wonderfully fun, joyous, light-hearted music.

[@nancyhannan1977]

Man that man could sing...one of my favorite bands

[@tomdimartino7361]

Corey Wells was the lead singer in the center and he's the only one that didn't do drugs in the band and he saved all his money before their first song became famous they actually had to apply for welfare in Buffalo New York and like 6 months later they got the check for their first hit song and he never had to worry about money again and that's why he was a big saver of money and he invested smartly

[@charlenekiddharrison3600]

I LOVED 3 Dog Night. I bought their album when I was 14 & I'm 61 now and still listen to there music.

[@mrpoquah]

In the early 80's the electronics happened to the music industry and the SOUL went out of it. I actually have this original album bought in the last 70's. Thank GOD when I lost a lot of my stuff years ago, no one touched my album collection. Vinyl has a different sound to digital. Which is why records have been making a return to stores. I'm a '58 baby and grew up with Motown and everything else. We listened and sang to everything out there. When rock started hitting the industry hard it was all about making you either think or move to the music. No hate music, just good vibes. I grew up and lived all over this country and no matter where we moved there was appreciation to all music. Too bad those days of music wanting to either make you move, laugh, cry or simply make you think have gone. We NEED music like this today to be on the charts so that we can get back together as a RACE, instead of being shoved into boxes depending on the color of your skin. Personally I think we could all learn something from music like this.

[@suzanneprock7286]

For a person who grew up in the 60's and 70's, music started changing in the late 90's, rap and hip hop music took over and rock n' roll went by the wayside.

What a fun version! The studio version is shorter. My brother is 7 years older than I am, and he introduced me to Three Dog Night, Parliament, The Isley Brothers, ZZ Top, Th e Barkay's, Chicago, and more. Back then, radio stations played all genres of music, so we heard everything from country to Motown, Rock, etc. It was great!

[@taxiscratcher5935]

There is still a radio station here in FL panhandle that Still plays music from Frank Sinatra to Pink Floyd and some newer...they don't always play the most popular song on an album either, and in between music they tell stories about the area. AWESOME radio station...wish I was closer to it.

I was in high school in 1975, and lived in the Bay Area of Northern California. Three Dog Night was one of my favorite bands.

[@docdurdin]

You need to know something Mug. There are a lot of things that have been lost in translation over the years. I was born in 1950 and by the age of 7 my best friend was a black boy, Andy. My favorite grown up aside from Grandma was Ms. Ethel, Andy's grandma who made cornbread and buttermilk for us on hot summers. We played in my grandpa's pepper and tomato fields days and swam in a local creek together. We were sworn bloodbrothers by the next summer. I went to a Charismatic Church both black and white where the spirit moved everybody. Yes, I saw the haters through the years but we never let them break our soirit. The 60's were horrible on both sides, it seemed the world had gone mad save for the voice of Dr. King. I saw the death of a President,his brother and Dr. King as well as many others. When peace started to come it was adults who started it all over again, this time from the black side. They took the Love Train off the tracks and sent us back to hell. I loved the 70's. I could go to the Funk clubs where the best music was and dance all night without fear. I hate what we have done, especially to the kids. Healing begins and ends with the kids. Much love an peace to you.

Elvis opened many doors for most musicians, and the rest is history!

[@MugnifyRTS]

Musicians before opened the doors for many others as well

[@deborahcornell171]

​​@MugnifyRTS There were great Black artists before Elvis but they were mostly known in the Black community. There was a vast audience of white kids who had never heard of those talented artists simply because they didn't get the exposure they deserved. After Elvis, that generation & the next of the White audience grew up listening to & loving all those great musicians & singers. And buying their records. Instead of being kept in one little corner of the music business they were now a big part of it. And that's according to those artists themselves. The exposure they got & the new huge audience improved their finances & the demand for their music & performances. I was a white suburban kid who grew up listening to everyone from Elvis to the "British Invasion" that The Beatles ushered in, to all the great Motown artists of the 60's. I loved B.B. King, Smokey Robinson, Howlin' Wolf, Little Richard, The Temptations, The Supremes..just like I loved a lot of White artists. If it hadn't been for Elvis shaking things up in the 50's I & so many others wouldn't have even been aware of all that great music & I can't imagine growing up without it. What I just described is also why there were so many White artists in the 70's who sang with Soul. They grew up hearing & being influenced by that diversity that wasn't available before their childhood & teen years. It was a beautiful thing. And you're so right about it changing in the 80's. MTV became hugely popular & the music industry became more about prepackaged stuff & music videos, not always real talent, & that generation of kids ate it up. There's still some good Blues, Rhythm & Blues & Rock around but not enough. Makes a lot of us miss the 60's & 70's especially.🌿

As one of the first wave of 'funky white boys. I started listening to Rock and Roll in 1955. Growing up in South Chicago I was exposed to Blues at a young age. I started on rhythm guitar when I was 15 devoured everything that was happening. Beatles, Stones, Righteous Brothers. in the 70s I went to a primarily Black music Conservatory. From then I played lead guitar fo several Black bands. After 50 years of playing rock, metal, soul, Blues and Country. I no longer play out. I love your honest reactions. I like to listen to music with company and you are good company. The 70s was a party era. The Vietnam war was ending and people wanted to have fun. Psychedelics were plentiful. The races partied together. I believe that big corporate music industry had some pretty segregated ideas about how to market their music. I have worked with hundreds of musicians of all races, faiths , ethnicities and sexual orientation . I can tell you we got along just fine and saw each other as unique individuals. Can he/she play/sing ? Can they groove ? That's all that matters. Some of us old white dudes who survived the 60s and 70s with our soul intact ! Peace

One thing that happened in the 80's was that a new kind of recording process came on the scene- digital recording. In a way it was really divisive to the recording industry. Some engineers were obsessed with experimenting with it to dramatically alter the sounds they recorded. What they created was, well, the 80's- judge for yourself. It was a dramatic departure from what had come before and it kind of led to younger generations losing touch with that older style. If you want to watch a really cool documentary that touches on that subject, watch Sound City. Fantastic film.

In 1975 the drinking age in my state of MA dropped from 21 to 18 yo, went back up to 21 three years later.

The Old Grey Whistle Test was another TV program where many stars "back in the day" played outstanding live sets for the entire program. Many of them at their very best, a year or so before "peaking" and/or mass popularity.

@@mattroberts86 I don’t remember that program. Do you live in UK?

[@sherribrock2726]

Listen to their song called “Black and White”. It’s a great song!!

[@luannedimaggio7025]

We had a blast in the 70s, everybody was an equal. We did not give a crap about race, money, or your politics. We just wanted people to be safe, happy, and do their own thing. Glad I was there.

Hall and Oates 70's & 80's blue-eyed soul!

This song hit the charts in 1969, the year I turned 11. I loved it then and still do! Little girl me fell in love with Corey Wells' voice and that has never changed! And you're right, the diversity and originality of 70's music has never been equalled and never will be. It was an incredible time to be alive! ❤

Soulful white people are still around.Were in our 60s now, and we are still here.That's why I'm listening to your show. You show music I grew up on. Like Janice Joplin and Led Zeplen.

I saw Three Dog Night Live. I was still in high school and am 70+ years young now! They've gotten more polished in this video of "Elijah's Coming". Great intro of their beautiful voices.

Rock music was in a constant state of evolution. Every week seemed to bring a new song by the lastest musical genius .

[@michaelabrams1244]

I was born in '66, so as a kid I was listening to my sister's rock albums and watching Soul Train on Saturdays. I grew up on ZZ Top with Earth, Wind, and Fire and everything between. Tell me I didn't have it better than kids today! And yes, I wonder what happened to us white folk too. But... some of us are still rockin' and while playing that funky music. Peace.

[@donnamoskowitz4978]

"Liar" and "Try a little tenderness" should be at the top of your 3DN list!!!

[@RebelRoseJade]

This is what is great about being in that era that would set the stage with voices like these, and you knew that you were going to have a great time and lots of awesome music. Plus you had lots of fun. The 80s 80s started off with the head bangers that thought getting on stage and screaming and doing stupid stuff was music. Then and now they don't understand that bands and music like this is still reaching people today and we are working on it being 4 decades later and this music still rocks. It's a shame that we don't have bands like 3 dog night around too teach kids the difference between making music and making something that they call music. This is back in the day when you had to have a voice to make music.

[@cbirddown]

this was one of the songs I really liked back in the day. I really love this live version. I forgot how many of their songs I loved , thank you.

[@michelleprice7605]

Oh can't wait. I ve suggesting this song for it seems a long time on all of the listening for the first time. Finally I get to see the expression. You are in for a ride. Dont talk or stop it to comment. Just listen. And here you are. Thank you. My Favorite band and the best rock harmony.

[@johnryan6088]

They are out on tour as we speak !! The name comes from a reference for how cold it is out in the tundra in a log cabin. There are one dog nights, and two dog nights but when it's really freaking cold it's a Three Dog Night. Three big dogs up on the bed to keep you warm . Thank me very much . I was at three concerts and all were memorable. Check out "ONE "

[@southlatiger]

It's down to One Dog Night.

Written and also performed by the most talented Laura Nyro .. sad that so many folk do not know her genius. ""Eli's Comin'" is a song written and recorded in 1967 by American singer-songwriter and pianist Laura Nyro. The song was first released in 1968 on Nyro's album, Eli and the Thirteenth Confession. Here is a link to HER rendition : kzbin.info/www/bejne/n4mYcpSkfbaGZ8k

[@gidouille]

For the most part I prefer Nyro's versions of the songs she wrote. More Than a New Discovery and Eli and the Thirteenth Confession are filled with songs which became hits for other artists, Three Dog night, Barbara Streisand, Blood, Sweat & Tears, The Fifth Dimension, etc.

[@denisesevera9490]

You should hear them do A Change is Gonna Come & Try a Little Tenderness 🔥

[@taterbites]

You gonna love going back in time with all these tunes. Alot of music was inspired by black artist back then. I'm 70 and still love this. My appreciation for this music started in the early 60's.

[@MugnifyRTS]

Thank you!
