1974......#4 U.S. Billboard Hot 100, #1 U.S. Cash Box Top 100, #2 Canada, #9 New Zealand
Stereo Remix/Remaster by Tiger Rogers / Original video edited and remastered with HQ stereo sound.
This video was originally posted on 7/05/19 and has not been modified since.
"The Show Must Go On" is a song co-written by Leo Sayer and David Courtney and first recorded by Sayer. It was released in the United Kingdom in 1973, becoming Sayer's first hit record (reaching its chart peak of #2 in early 1974 in the UK). The song reached #3 on the Irish Singles Chart in January 1974, and was included on Sayer's debut album Silverbird.
The song was covered by Three Dog Night, whose version was released in 1974, becoming a hit in the United States, peaking at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and sung by vocalist Chuck Negron. The record reached #1 on the Cashbox pop chart, #2 on the Canadian RPM Magazine charts, and became their seventh and final Gold Record.
It uses a circus theme as a metaphor for dealing with the difficulties and wrong choices of life. Early in Sayer's career, he performed it dressed and made up as a pierrot clown. Like the album version on Sayer's debut album, Three Dog Night's version also quotes Julius Fučík's "Entrance of the Gladiators" which is commonly associated with circus clowns.
In Sayer's version, the last line of the chorus is "I won't let the show go on". Three Dog Night changed this line to "I must let the show go on", which Sayer has criticized.
Three Dog Night's cover of "The Show Must Go On" became their last Top 10 hit in the U.S., where it reached number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Cash Box Top 100, as well as in Canada, where it reached number two. It also reached #11 in the Netherlands and #12 in Germany.
Record World said that "3DN's treatment of this Leo Sayer English smash is a superb example of their interpretive power."
Several AM radio edits have shortened the instrumental introduction, due to time constraints and limitations.

Chuck could do amazing things with his voice, he had the most vocal range. Shame the others failed to reconcile. Three Dog Night needs all three singers

I actually only knew Leo Sayer's version. Couldn't say I missed something. 3DN had better songs to offer. How about One or Celebrate? Thanks for your work Sammy!
