Before the sixties, bands and singers didn't usually write and perform their own songs. There were songwriters, and there were performing artists. The success of The Beatles (and others, such as Bob Dylan) changed all that. Three Dog Night wasn't a "cover band", they were just a holdover that was still following the old ways. During this time you also saw songwriters pivoting into singer/songwriter careers (think Carole King, Randy Newman, Harry Nillson, Neil Diamond) in order to stay relevant-not to mention employed.
