[@judydalton3812]

this gentleman is very knowledgeable. Glad you had him on your show. Please bring him back soon.

[@thundernels]

You can tell this fellow has such a depth of knowledge of music. I could listen to him for hours.

[@reneerocha1796]

Indeed!!! Me too!! Love to hear his pearls of knowledge. 😊

[@fjohnson5906]

Chuck Negron had absolutely one of the best lead voices of a rock band.

[@markmaioli4]

Three Dog Night were huge hit makers and yes Chuck, Cory & Danny were awesome singers but the band doesn't get nearly enough credit. They could play any style of music and were excellent musicians: Jimmy Greenspoon (keyboards), Joe Schermie (bass), Michael Allsup (guitar), and Floyd Sneed (drums).

[@danarussell1291]

They need to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!!!

[@Linda-zm6lk]

I read somewhere that the reason they aren't in the rock and roll hall of fame is because they never wrote any of their own music. Is that true?

[@rogerdodger6025]

@@Linda-zm6lk That is true but I guess it depends on who you are. Linda Ronstadt and most of the Motown artists didn't write their own songs either. Double standards or no standards, that's the Rock & Roll HOF. The critic's darlings are who gets in. BTW I love Ronstadt and Motown. I'm just making a point.

[@ChuckHackney]

Agree 100%

[@ChuckHackney]

They remain one of my fave groups of the rock era because the vocals are beyond great and the tunes they choose to record are so memorable.

[@HXERkYJclMcKLAWwQW]

Imagine before leaving high school you were registered in the draft . You didn’t have a choice, you were either drafted heading to Vietnam or you fought on the streets for your freedom. So many , died at 19-20 years old not old enough to drink just die .

[@johnsilva9139]

Not old enough to vote at the time as well, which led to the voting age lowered to 18 in 1971.

[@paulshayter1113]

I get your point but actually during the 60s most states had 18 as the legal drinking age. It didn't become 21 until mid 80s. I think some states still have 18 for low alcohol content beer and wine.

[@davidkarr214]

All males were required to register with their draft board at 18. It wasn't a big deal at the time. I turned 18 in 1961. In my graduating class 6 were drafted and none went to Vietnam. I enlisted and spent 6 years on active duty and also didn't go to Vietnam. Most of the men were not drafted. In 1964 married men were exempted from the draft. Only 1 out of 10 draftees went to the infantry. Almost all states had 21 as the legal drinking age but military bases had an 18 age limit.

The 60’s protests and social consciousness was a cool and necessary thing. It has nothing to do with the idiocy happening today. I remember people actually being friendly and smiling.

[@mrflashport]

If we would only learn from this history....

[@nickstrickland4751]

I agree the counter culture in the 60s definately brought up very important issues that even the Bible speaks about treating your fellow man as yourself the second greatest commandment behind loving Yehovah the only self existent One, unfortunately today we have liberals who are weaponizing these issues and breaking laws of morality and the natural order that Yehovah has made and will never change. On the other hand the right does not address issues such as racism and immigration without truly loving and respecting those who are without real justice backing them, the two extremes are both detrimental and are destroying social justice, in this world we are all on a journey and we are sojourners and aliens who need a helping hand, May we all open our hearts toward our fellow mankind and to remember and visit the widow and the orphaned.

[@Moonshine54321]

@@nickstrickland4751 I get where you are coming from. However, the Democrats have opened our borders wide open, and work with the UN to help migrants along the way (Darian gap), even running radio ads to come here. It’s not out of “compassion”, they want 3rd world people here in the millions as a massive Democrat voting block. The people coming here… most are not “asylum seekers”… they just want to take advantage of what we have crated, send money back home… then go back home themselves. They have no interest in becoming American, embracing our values.

[@Moonshine54321]

@@nickstrickland4751 Social Justice? I see black people everywhere driving expensive cars, with good careers. The problem is 3 out of 4 black families have a father who abandoned their children, and a lack of birth control use. Republicans can’t fix that cultural disease. I recommend watching Thomas Sowell videos on KZbin concerning “black rednecks.”

[@richardpedrazine731]

This is an awesome song! Three Dog Night was an amazing band. You really need to take a deep dive into them!!

[@jdw5678]

Yes! Would love for them to check out the song "Liar," a cool, hard-hitting, minor key song that captures the angst of betrayal. Also, "Out In the Country," a breezy tune that marked one of the first pop songs about protecting the environment. 3DN could deliver the goods.

[@anthonyblakely399]

One of my all-time favorite rock band: Three Dog Night performing "Easy To Be Hard." Chuck Negron singing "Easy To Be Hard." And he kills it!!! I have seen the band 4 times in concert!!! Love this song!!!

Eli's Coming live 🔥🔥🔥

[@surlechapeau]

Jay & Amber, you'll love their "Eli's Coming" !!! (written by Laura Nyro!) edit- Love this series. Tim dropping the knowledge that "Easy To Be Hard" and "Age Of Aquarius" written by the same songwriters! James Rado, Gerome Ragni and Galt MacDermot.

My friend as a teenager in Pittsburgh was Jerry Ragni, one of the writers of Hair. When the play launched in New York it took the world by storm. I'll never forget staying with Jerry in Greenwich Village and seeing the play. A truly magical time. Give peace a chance. Only love can conquer hate.

I love that Meatloaf and Diane Keaton were in the original on broadway.

Dang shame!!!

[@libertyresearch-iu4fy]

The song 'Good Morning Starshine' also came from the musical 'Hair', and you guys reacted to the version sung by Oliver about 5 months ago.

[@anniegoodrich262]

The addition of interviews to your channel has added such a rich layer of details that sets you apart from the rest. Please bring Tim back whenever possible. We LOVE stories! ❤❤❤❤

[@mastere108]

Love Three Dog Night. Their best song is Try a little tenderness. Check that out!

[@clg3697]

I love this version but my favorite version is by Cheryl Barnes. She performs "Easy To Be Hard" in the movie version of "Hair". Her version brings tears to me - it is beautiful & angry & broken & passionate. I suggest you watch the 1979 movie version "Hair" on your movie reaction channel. It is based on the 1968 Broadway Musical but there are differences in the story and songs (the movie does not have the nudity). Also it is worth seeing the stage musical if it comes to your city. Again, I love the knowledge and insight by Mr Sommer. He would be a welcome repeat guest. Thanks for today💜

[@MetFan37]

Yes, Ms. Barnes nails the song in ways that Chuck Negron only hinted at. And there are a few shots of bare asses in the movie, one or two flashes of breasts but nothing major.

[@clg3697]

@@MetFan37 yes, - I was wrong, thanks. I forgot about the army butts & the flashes in the night swimming scene. I saw the movie after the stage show - I guess it didn't register. Thanks again.

[@MOS650]

Have to check out their cover of Eli’s Coming live ( 1975).

[@jhood758]

I so loved 3 Dog Night growing up. Chuck Negron was my favorite. I finally saw them in concert in the 80’s and they were and they sounded amazing. I was blessed to have family members to come home from the Vietnam war….so many didn’t.

[@jaycorby]

Awesome song. Takes me back a few decades to when I was a young, robust, committed classroom teacher. My nostalgia runs deep, and perhaps I'm romanticizing the era too much. Today I'm approaching 79 years ( September 25 ), with a lot of sweet memories, and few regrets.

[@wesalker3479]

"Old Fashioned Love Song" live . . . . . IT'S A HOOT! . . . . .

[@marioserrano6333]

Chuck Negron's cousin is actor Taylor Negron, the pizza delivery guy from "Fast times at Ridgemont high" he's been in so many movies.

[@jimmayors2315]

This band was awesome overall, and not only because of their vocalists!

[@db4982]

Really enjoyed these segments with Mr. Tim Sommer. Thank you!

[@robjewett700]

I can't believe more people haven't suggested the 1975 live version of Eli's Coming. Hopefully at some point you'll be able to check it out.

[@caroleathenacosta-songwrit9193]

"Hair" came out when I was in high school and when our music department put on a show for our school that was called "Our Favorite Song" where everyone performed their favorite song from a Broadway musical. So while everyone else was singing songs from "Oklahoma" or "South Pacific" or whatever, I performed "Where Do I Go" from "Hair." There I was, in my hippie clothes, singing and dancing to a number from a musical about the counter-culture! The kids in the audience loved it! Lol

[@jackieknows9129]

I do hope Tim becomes a regular - he has so much knowledge and seems to appreciate your channel.

[@johnsilva9139]

He should have his own channel (maybe he does).

[@christinewaide5249]

I love when you have him on. I love hearing him talk about music. ❤

[@garya7893]

I always loved this tune it reminds me of my younger days

[@Appliance-Advice]

Easy to be hard is my favorite 3 dog night song. I remember driving with my parents and made them turn up the AM radio when it came on.

[@lilamuzik3385]

Try A Little Tenderness done on the live TV performance 1975 sung by Cory Wells is a standout!

[@christinewaide5249]

I listen to them ALL the time! They’re part of the soundtrack of my life.

[@waltw4537]

Absolutely one of the best bands I've ever heard. A cultural bedrock item, Hair was. Hey Luca! Very nice show, everyone. Thanks.

[@hoovgroov1571]

Love Three Dog Night got to see them live 3or 4 times throughout the years and seen Chuck in later years about 4 times on the Happy Together tour the last time he came out with what I thought was a rope dragging behind him and I thought what in the world is he gonna do an aerial act or something but then I noticed tubes very smartly integrated into his glasses and nose and God bless him he was on oxygen and still sounding amazing!!!

[@rghilino6734]

Chuck Negron is one of rock's greatest voices.

[@loritajohnson5664]

Great interview with Tim! Love anything by Three Dog Night! Each lead member has a beautiful and compelling voice. Hope you react to the 1979 movie 'Hair'. The legendary Melba Moore who was in the original Broadway play has an appearance in the movie.

[@beckieabbott9342]

[@beatlesfantoo]

Love Three Dog Night !!! They did a show in my hometown of Ardmore (about 90 miles south of Moore). It was in 1983 and they had an album out called It's A Jungle. After the show, we waited by their bus to try to see them. After a few minutes, Chuck Negron and Danny Hutton came out. Danny was carrying plates of food but I was able to get Chucks autograph. Danny said he would sign but hands were full. They spoke with us a few minutes then bus was about to leave. They did say that Danny Hutton was already on the bus, so missed talking with him. It was a great show and meeting them just made it better.

[@letitbesummer6536]

My parents came home with the album Hair when I was a very little girl so I grew up with the music. As well as the unforgettable Jesus Christ Superstar. Phenomenal music in both.

[@tylerhackner9731]

Love this song!

[@keymack2477]

Welcome back Tim, please!! Oliver had a hit song from "Hair" too!

[@robertlassiter907]

I had the good fortune to them live in 1974 in West Palm Beach, Florida. Chuck sang this song and you could hear every girl in the crowd coo. They were truly a great band and they were also great showmen.

[@memorylane7068]

Chuck Negron (Tall one), Cory Wells (shortest one, and from Buffalo, NY), and Danny Hutton, all three are fantastic vocalists!

[@artmanjohn2]

I love this guest reviewer, this guy is good. I'm 74 and I've seen the Three Dog Night in concert 6 or 7 times and "Hair" the musical in a traveling Broadway show twice in Fort Worth. It was so good I had to see it again the next night! It was an experience, the cast during the show went into the audience and got every body singing and dancing, it was part of the show! Oh, I saw Hair twice in Fort Worth, Texas and I actually got an audition to join the troupe and I had to drive down to San Antonio, Texas to audition, so I got to see the show again and and meet and spend time with the cast and musicians. I haven't thought about this in years, thanks! Miss those days!

[@DelmarLarue]

The Drummer, Floyd Sneed was one of my early Drumming Heroes. I can remember playing along to their records and trying to imitate his chops and rhythms. My Mom would buy their albums for me and played them a lot herself because she loved the harmony. It was common for me to come home from school or come in the house during the summer, and hear Three Dog Night playing on the old Console Stereo, while Mom was cooking or cleaning the house.

[@stephenulmer3781]

Love this song! Tims recommendations and filling Jay and Amber in about Hair is Awesome.

[@cottonplant100]

Three Dog Night was huge when I was junior high and high school. This is one of my favorites. I remember the musical Hair. No way did I ever have a clue this song was from Hair. I did know that about The Cowsills' song...Hair.

[@chab1rd155]

3 Dog Night has some AMAZING music. Old fashioned love song, for one, Must let the show go on, is another, Elis coming, and many others! Love them!

[@chipdamutt108]

"Family of Man" and "The Show Must Go On" are awesome too. The crescendo at the end of "Easy To Be Hard" always gives me chills.

[@elaineh7993]

Hair is one of my favorite movies! I met an ex marine in 86. He just was out of the service. I convinced him to watch Hair, he didn't want to. He did it for me. He liked it but he's still a Hank Hill!

[@bryanforis1839]

Chuck is one. Of singer of all time he sounds great singing at any time

[@SuzA8110]

Y'all need to buy the Cast Album of Hair and listen to it in order. You can understand more of what the songs meant and how they worked together to tell the story of that time period.

[@jrox6091]

This band has my heart. So many memories with them as a soundtrack. I recommend "Liar" and Eli's Coming" for the next 3DN reactions. BTW, Chuck Negron's name is actually pronounced NEG'-ron. He & Danny Hutton are still around, Cory Wells died in 2015. I saw Negron perform solo at a local theater a few years ago. He sang everyone's part on 3 Dog hits and was superb! Be blessed ❤

[@daveowens9849]

Three Dog Night is still one of my favorite bands. I graduated high school in Indiana back in 1975 and spent the summer in Cypress, California, with an aunt and uncle. TDN were playing at the Hollywood Bowl and I asked permission to buy tickets. Uncle Bill told me he'd think on it. The uncle showed up after work with tickets to the Hollywood Bowl...but the artist was Beverly Sills. No rock music in his home. One of my biggest regrets of my teen years. Oh well. Still own all their albums.

[@stormy8207]

Not enough credit is given to Scottish and Irish folk music in the influence of modern music, including swing. Then there are the old barbershop quartets who sang A Capella, who were an obvious influence on the Beach Boys. The soul music of religious music and the blues .... In the sixties we had Buddy Holly, the Big Bopper, Little Richard, The Everley brothers, Elvis with his blues and rock. As global communications started to improve, the world seemed to shrink and artists influenced each other. It resulted in the extraordinary output of music that was the seventies, and went on into the eighties for a time until it changed. The outpouring of creativity was a result of world influences converging. A time between wars and unrest. There is still much more for you to cover.:)

I love how this song is in the opening of the movie ZODIAC 2007 to represent 1968... It's just one of my favorite movie movies..😁 Side note.. My sister Barbara had all the Three dog Night 45 records and I managed to scratch all of them when she was not around...
