They SHOULD be in the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame, but they never will be because the majority of their music was written by other people. The RRHoF said they might get in after 2031 because they keep inducting people who don't sing rock and roll who write their own music.

It’s not that your generation’s music sucks. It’s just that music today is so formulated and commercial. Which was inevitable considering the span of time from then to now. Maybe record companies are to blame for cookie cutter music. Almost everyone sounds alike. Back then rock and roll was young and new and the talent was more raw and unprocessed. I’m so fortunate to have been young during such vibrant times. Fortunately your generation has access to these incredible recordings. It can only enrich your experience.

Three Dog Night is a great rock band from the 60's-70's. This band had a lot of energy. They had 3 guys with great voices that could all sing lead vocals.

[@shannonfrench6893]

Love your comments. I turned 8 in 1969 when Eli's Coming came out and I loved so many Three Dog Night song's. I grew up in a musical family and someone or something was always playing. In 1969 I remember hit's like Crystal Blue Persuasion and Crimson and Clover by Tommy James and Draggin' The Line was/is one of my favorites (it might have come out in 1970), I Am I Said by Neil Diamond and Age Of Aquarius by The Fifth Dimension and everything on The Grass Roots Greatest Hits album and I was listening to all my big brothers Beatles albums. But I remember so much variety on the radio. There were a few dud's like Sugar Sugar by the Archie's but there was so much good music to choose from. I started playing drums in '69 and guitar in '70. Wrote my own first song around '70-'71 and kept on writing. I made a half hearted effort to get in the music business around 1980 but my Dad was getting sick with heart disease and he died in February of 1981. I had a friend who I played in my first band with come from Washington DC to Rogers, Arkansas (border's Bentonville) where I was living and he got pretty successful in the music business and tried to get me to go to Lake Tahoe with him where he was going to begin touring. I had probably written close to a hundred songs by then and we had good chemistry but I had too much on my plate then. I played in a couple of cover bands from '84-'88 but I kept on writing. But that was the break I should have taken with my friend in '82. Anyway life happened and I didn't try to push my original music very hard. But my Dad had played with Porter Wagoner and other's in the business and knew a lot of people in the Country Music end and he tried to warn me about the trap's and pitfalls of the industry. Finally though I sent demo's all over the world trying to get a record deal in 1999. My writing is all over the place because of the many influences I heard growing up. I got a few offers from some smaller labels and MCA said I was a great writer but they didn't know what category to put me in. In December of '99 I got a call from a producer in Nashville who said I was a great writer and wanted me to come record there. In May of 2000 I went to Nashville and recorded a 3 song demo. They were trying to put me in Country Music and I have written some Country influenced stuff but I was more into Rock&Roll. He shopped my demo around a lot of record companies but I didn't get a decent offer until April of 2001. It was from Sony/Australia. But I got in the door of big corporate music. So many things changed in 1996 and then Napster changed it even more in 1999. Sony offered me a million bucks for a 10 song album which sounded like a lot of money to my friend's and family but they didn't realize things I knew like taxes, production fee's, studio time etc and when it was all said and done I was only going to make a little over a hundred thousand and I would have had to pay my band to go on tour in Asia, Europe then back to the State's on the college circuit since I was basically an unknown artist. It's like everyone was going to make money except me, the person who lived through all the things I wrote about. So I turned them down. Everyone thought I was crazy but I had seen enough. The last 24-25 years the music industry has gotten way worse. I don't like very much of the music since the early 2000's and I know how awful the business is and I have never regretted my decision. Your comment resonated with me because I run into young people all the time who hate what's being put out by the artist of today and listen to what I grew up with. At least artists today can be their own record company and stream their music but you don't make but about .003 cent's a stream. And now AI is getting heavily involved. I detest the giant label's today! And you are so right about the entertainment business in general. It just gets worse and worse. I just have a small KZbin channel with 91 subscribers and that's fine with me. I am getting too old now and I wouldn't touch trying to break in the business anyway. Makes me kinda wish I had been born a decade earlier. So great comment and you totally nailed it!

I was in 7th grade when this song came out and we listened to the radio all the time because there were hundreds of good bands putting out good songs all the time. Kids all over America were playing those songs in their garages. That's why my generation keeps saying we had such good music. Because we did. It's gratifying to watch reaction videos and see younger people figure that out. I also watch a lot of those compilation videos that show one hit wonders and least known bands. Three Dog Night was actually well known, but there are loads of other bands that had one or two great songs.

Hey Sebs, another baby boomer here! I like listening to you because you are a musician and a vocalist and you really get what you are listening to. When I grew up we still had music in schools. We had band and choir and folk songs and music appreciation and that was before high school! Then there were bands, orchestra, choirs and music theater. People had upright pianos in their homes and we weren't rich! By the time someone wanted to start a rock and roll band, most of the kids had at least a basic musical literacy. That was our starting point for these 50s, 60s, and 70s bands. I love your enthusiasm! Keep it up!

I'm 73 and graduated from high school in 1969. I loved Three Dog Night. Years later, I read the book by Chuck Negron called Three Dog Nightmare about his fall into addiction. I often think about that time in history when young people were going thru a metamorphosis and having so many drugs, new thoughts, new freedoms and so forth available to them, turning from a simple life into a more complex time that we weren't prepared for. The Vietnam War and mandatory drafts were creating controversy in the 1960s to 70s, Martin Luther King was assassinated in 1968, the shootings at Kent State took place in 1970, and the student strikes then spread on most college campuses across the country. So much within a period of a few years formed our generation.

Three Dog Night is certainly a candidate for the best cover band of all time. They had three wonderful singers fronting a very tight and talented band. They also had a knack for finding deep cuts from other artists and making hits out of them with great high energy arrangements. Check out their versions of Hoyt Axton's 'Joy To the World', Randy Newman's 'Mama Told Me Not to Come' and Rod Argent's 'Liar'.

What makes this so special? Pure talent, timeless classics, no autotune, just solid music. So grateful I grew up hearing the originals for the first time back in the day. I'm getting old but this music will always be fresh.

[@susantownsend8397]

Saw them in concert in the early 1970s. Still one of my favorites.

[@karenhardy7964]

WOW! This brought me back to nine years old. ❤. The vocals are amazing.

[@M68BI]

Very successful group from.maybe 68 to 75. Three great singers left to right Chuck Negron, Cory Welles and Danny Hutton. Many very good songs. Joy to the World, Shambala, Never been to Spain and more I'm a music historian I'm listening since 1958, I'm here to see young individuals take on this music. Best of success with your channel

[@taragreenetarotastro]

The most important thing is that this song was written by the Amazing Laura Nyro- she also wrote many songs that others had hits with Sweet Blindness, Save the Country, Stoned Soul Picnic, And When I Die, Wedding Bell Blues, you have to listen to her versions, she wrote most of these at 21 and performed at the Monterey Pop Festival in 1967 but didn't like the fame. She was a millionare from these songs. I named my firstborn child Elijah in honour of this son and Laura, one of my main female singer-songwriters.

[@kathyolney4083]

They were fabulous!!! All those great oldies!! Continue!! It's an education in how it all began!! Have fun!!💫

[@meredithcurtin9358]

Graduated in 1969 --- so many memories!!! Thanks so much for waking these deep, old reels that lie dusty in my brain vaults. This is why I keep listening and liking. From a Listener with too many Eli's in her past....

[@lindasmith2935]

One of my first concerts... Eli is a fav! Thanks for the highlights! 💕🎶🎵🎹🎹🎹🎹

[@beagrinton5934]

I’m glad that your generation are listening to music from my generation 1960’s because you’re keeping these amazing artists alive . So Thank you for sharing it 😊🇨🇦

[@johncheney950]

Your reaction is the way I felt as a 15 year old and the first time I heard them. I was blown away. 😅

[@marydaley4144]

Written by an astounding female songwriter, Laura Nyro, this was perfectly interpreted and executed.

[@mrbniederer]

3 Dog turned the song into a full on rocker. Nyro’s original was slower and quite dark.

[@Taranberk2]

It has an entirely different tone sung by guys versus sung by a woman

[@tampazeke4587]

I was a child of the 80's but I'm so thankful that my brother was 13 years older than me so I grew up with the music of the 60's and 70's, which was SO much better than the 80's, and it's still what I listen to. LOVE Three Dog Night! They also sang, "Joy to the World".

[@siobhanroberts8627]

I saw Chuck Negrone perform live at 73 years old and he sounded exactly the same as this! Phenomenal

[@sharonflaherty2768]

I am 68 years old and I still know every word to this song!! They were an iconic band in So California when I grew up!! I’m dancing all around my house!! Ty Ty Ty!! Love three dog night!! Always…… ty…..

[@kenrathbun9383]

"Mama Told Me Not to Come" and "Liar" are awesome rockers. "Pieces of April" and "Out in the Country" for their softer side.

[@mikemilne]

Oh! How did I forget about Pieces of April!!!!

[@Peter-oh3hc]

Pieces of April - OMG

[@faye33ful]

Such a great tune Pieces of April!!!! Thanks for reminding me!

[@pgrigg]

Thanks, Seb! For me, being older (70) it's really great to watch younger people discovering the music I love, especially when you love it too. So much has happened in the world, both musically and in general, that it's cool too see what holds up and traslates to modern times. This is true not just for new discoverers, but to see how I've changed. Not everything does. Some songs I still like just for nostalgia, but some are really, truly kick-ass. All 3 of the Three Dog Night singers were amazing.

[@sandratuttle]

I play this music for my grandkids and they love it.

[@minan1354]

So nice to see a young person appreciate his grandparent’s era’s music. I’m 71 and appreciate that we had a great sound track.

[@christinemorgan9191]

I was 8 yrs old when this came out. They were my favorite. You missed so much great music in the 60s 70s. Doobie Bros was my first concert.

[@hummingbirdhaven]

Saw Three Dog Night in San Diego in September 1971 and it still rates as one of the best concerts I've ever been to. The whole audience was on their feet and the house lights had come on but we were all singing "Joy to the World", not the Christmas Carol!

[@richarddevine205]

I too was at that show. San Diego Sports Arena was the place to be back in the day. So many good concerts.

[@tomlester8705]

[@ritab3957]

I was there too! My second concert ever (first was the Beatles at Balboa Stadium).

[@paulineandrushuk8923]

Love hearing these fantastic songs I grew up with and seeing how younger folks today are appreciating them. This band was so talented and their catalog will blow you away.

[@dzorba1]

70's was without a doubt the best music era of all time. 100's of different bands and artist because we didn't have the internet and cell phones and electronics so our entertainment was music and lots of it. That's why we had Soul Train and Midnight Special and American Bandstand and Austin City Limits and a bunch of music artist had their own show like The Tom Jones show, The Monkees, Tony Orlando show, etc. That's one reason why I'm so thankful for you tube with so many youtubers finding all these old bands and reacting to their songs that i haven't heard in years. Brings back a lot of memories. But the coolest thing is a lot of these groups are still performing in their 70's

[@cb142]

I had this 45record it was the B side of Mama Told Me Not To Come. I was 10yrs old and at 65yrs I still enjoyed knowing some younger ones are listening to my generations music. I use to play music for my kids and their friends to enjoy. I want to let the younger generations know that we still have love to give through music. I would say, sit down with your friends and family teach them how to enjoy life with a song,good food, laughter, and, spirit in the heart ❤️

[@empressvee]

Three Dog Night was my very first concert! It's so fun to see young people enjoy music that's burned into my brain.

[@yvonnemassey3658]

Math isn't the only universal language. Music and dance are too. If you can't verbally communicate or have "the gift of gab" you can still tell stories, show life styles and experiences, etc., through song and dance. Country music is the best at story telling but you will find it in every culture, every genre. Watching you experience your journey through music is wonderful. I'm 65 and I feel I have experienced the best of music from all genres.

[@carolw24]

Paul Bautz, the drummer since 1993, is my high school classmate. He comes to our reunions every 5 years. Very nice guy.

[@csutton161]

One of the best bands with 3 equally excellent vocalist, not to mention top notch musician. Please react to more 3 Dog Night

[@thomasgill2358]

My wife and i saw Three Dog Night in Chicago during the mid 70's. They played three sets. The first was their 60's hits. The second was acset of 50's hits with the three of them dressed in pink tuxes with huge wigs. The third set was of their most recent hits. Ine of the greatest show that i have EVER attended. What a great group.

[@EconAdviser]

Song written by one of the great song writers of the early 1970s, Laura Nyro, who also penned other great hits including one sung by The Fifth Dimension. STONED SOUL PICNIC and WEDDING BELL BLUES. Three Dog Nights was one of the top pop groups of the early 70s, and hosted for years a popular New Years Eve show.

[@lyriasfaves]

Driving across the country in our chevy van, carpet, paneling, curtains, beads, this 8-track blasting on the stereo, me and my sister dancing in the back because no seats or seatbelts... along with Simon and Garfunkel, Aretha, and a host of other legends. My childhood was amazing!

[@ddiamondr1]

This band was my first concert at the age of 17. They were fantastic. They were huge. Some of my favourite songs from them are, Never Been to Spain, liar, mama told me not to come, black-and-white, shambala, try a little tenderness If I was to pick one to be your next, listen, I would choose Never Been to Spain.

[@JeannieBeanie]

My first concert too at 16!

[@ddiamondr1]

@@JeannieBeanie Cool! They were so great.

[@eileenmurphy2019]

Here because I live to see younger people discover the music from my time. It’s new to me when I hear it through you.

[@user-fn2io9fh5c]

Yes I remember growing up to this song one of my favorites thanks for sharing ❤

[@beachybird1251]

Dude, Preach! Concerts were everything in the 70's. The creative talent was incredible!!! Creedence Clearwater Revival was my first concert at age 12 in 1971 or 72, Wichita, KS. I remember the funny smoke. Three Dog Night's "Jeremiah" was on the radio non-stop. Thx for the memories. Definitley had the best rock n roll.
