“ Chuck Negron has an amazing ‘blue eyed soul’ voice.This song is taken from the 1969 Broadway musical called ‘Hair’. Then ten years later in 1979 the famous play was made into a film with a Treat Williams , Beverly D’Angelo & John Savage.There is a scene in this film when the whole cast are singing and dancing atop one of the World Trade Center Towers.”

I'm glad you like the song! Lead singer, Chuck Negron has a great voice as do the other singers, Cory Wells and Timothy Hutton. The end of the song really echoes the feelings and passion of the song's theme! The song was released by Three Dog Night in 1969.It was also in the musical "Hair." (One year earlier). The song came out at a time when the Vietnam was still going on and so many young people (and some older folks too) were against it, protests against the war, riots, violence on campuses, social injustice, the struggles in the early years after Civil Rights laws were enacted. Also, the song is about we all need a friend...and too many of us find it too easy to be "cold"....find it so easy to say "no." and are so "heartless." The song also seems to be a little about an intimate relationship (in the 2nd verse)...admitting he's hung up on someone who's struggling to show him love and understanding. Also, in the chorus he mentions...do you only care about the "bleeding crowd"....which seems to mean a person might care about the suffering overseas, but won't help their needy Nextdoor neighbor. This song, SO packed with heavy lyrical content, reflecting that tumultuous era. Three Dog Night has many great, meaningful songs including: Joy to the World, One, Just an Old Fashioned Love Song, Out In The Country, Mama Told me not to come, Eli's Coming...to name a few. Sadly, we're facing some of the same issues today which makes this song very relevant, more than 50 years later! "Easy to be Hard"....so true.

Three Dog Night had more top 40 singles between 1969 and 1975 than Elvis and the Beatles. Including 11 top 20, 18 consecutive top 40, and 3 number 1's. The vocalist in this song was Chuck Negron. He has an incredible book out entitled "Three Dog Nightmare". He talks about his terrible heroin addiction, how many rehabs he's gone to, and just how fortunate he is to be alive. He tells how he'd be on tour with the band and would run out of drugs. So he'd charter a private plane, fly halfway around the world to Los Angeles just to meet his dealer so he could get high again. Then fly all the way back to meet the band and continue the tour. Sometimes he'd spend up to $30,000 a day just to get this done. He said that it eventually got so bad, that he lost everything! He went from being a multi-millionaire to flat broke and sleeping on a filthy mattress in an alley on skid row in Los Angeles sharing dirty needles with several other junkies. And yet he never contracted AIDS or hepatitis. He lost his wife an kids due to this. He said he got high because he actually loved getting high. But after all the rehabs had failed, he went to one last one. Chuck said he didn't go there to get clean, he went because he had no place to go. No money, no food to eat, no bed and no roof over his head. The place was called CRI Help! And by the grace of God, this was the place, and those were the folks that finally helped him help himself! Just a great great book!!!

"Easy to Be Hard" is originally from the 1967 rock musical Hair, about the hippie counterculture and sexual revolution of the late 1960s. A woman sings this song in the musical. Looking up who that was just now, her name was Lynn Kellogg and she passed away from Covid-19 last month: www.nytimes.com/2020/11/13/theater/lynn-kellogg-dead.html Many of the songs from the musical became anthems of the anti-Vietnam War peace movement -- "Good Morning Starshine", "Walking in Space", "Aquarius", "The Flesh Failures (Let the Sunshine In)" -- The 5th Dimension scored a number one hit in 1969 with their version of "Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In".

It's been a while since I've seen "Hair" but that Broadway show and recorded musical is where the original version comes from If I remember right, a woman and child found the father in NYC and she wanted him back, but he was very resistant. "You know I'm hung up on you," she sang. She couldn't understand how he could care so much about social and political issues while ignoring/denying his own family. Great reaction to a song from another era. Thanks. Oh-oh say can you see my-y eyes; If you can, then my hair's too short. (Sung to the tune of The Star Spangled Banner (sort of)).
