[@JD_Cool]

I can think of 20 acts already in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame who don't deserve induction over Three Dog Night. Genuinely underappreciated.

[@jackarmstrong1838]

Maybe the best three voices in rock together.

[@ron88303]

They're in my Hall of Fame.

[@richardcranium5048]

Madonna is in the rock and roll hall of fame... Need I say more

[@charleslatora5750]

Yes.

[@danadesimone9322]

Yep me too..

[@musicairplanes4884]

Just microphones and amps. No special effects. Just raw talent!!

[@neilmartin99]

Yeah but for a first listen, go with the studio version every time.

[@jackarmstrong1838]

Corey Wells, Danny Hutton, Chuck Negron. Together probably the best three voices in one rock band ever.... Nobody touches them

[@THEPATRIOT1000]

Black and White, Mamma Told Me, Joy to the World

[@breckrichardson390]

"Easy to be Hard" and "Pieces of April."

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

Agree!

[@stevewalsh4850]

As William suggested, “Never been to Spain” is a must 😎

[@audreys5651]

Yes!!!

[@itsallgood4093]

Absolutely!!

[@irenelopez3390]

Agree

[@bobhayett2376]

Seriously might be the very best three part harmony ever in music. Cory Wells was a monster lead singer.

[@yourebusted5786]

The studio version is more enjoyable even though I love Cory's blue-eyed soul. You should hear him sing "Try A Little Tenderness"

[@suecook1326]

100% Agreed! All three lead singers are great but Try A Little Tenderness was wrote for Cory!

[@candicescott7176]

I prefer Live At The Forum album version.

[@pamelalybarger7298]

Corey Wells is the one

[@graciesmom1477]

Yes, Yes, Yes!

[@dianawhite637]

Awe, so good!

[@Renkk17]

Three Dog Night - Mamma Told Me - Shambala - Black and White - Old Fashioned Love Song

[@myownchannel247]

One, Black and White, Shambala are all great songs by them

[@looneygardener]

Written by 17 year old genius Laura Nyro who wrote for many groups, especially Fifth Dimension. She released her own albums, her masterpiece being Eli and the Thirteenth Confession. Laura Nyro inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame posthumously. She passed at 49 of cancer in 1994.

[@lisaschliff]

I loved Laura Nyro and still feel sad about losing her. She was amazing.

[@briann7495]

and I thought the 5th Dimension was another fabulous group too

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

Wow! A fellow Nyro fangirl, welcome. I put Laura's Triple Goddess Twilight up on my FB page just over a week ago. Adele? Who? lol. Can't beat Laura. Peace, love & music, locked freakin down East Coast of England. x

[@donnabiddix250]

She was truly a genius!

[@donnabiddix250]

New York tendaberry is awesome!

[@cotadog4472]

The group had 3 vocalists and each had a #1 hit singing lead.

[@sylviatroy2896]

Other songs to react to: "Easy to be Hard", "Celebrate"-the harmony is nuts in this song, "The Family of Man". Just scartching the surface of Three Dog Night.

[@ogmandog]

To really appreciate what these cats put down... listen to the studio version and your mind will be blown how they did it live.🤯

[@shellyeskelson9508]

I've always believed that they were an underrated band. Had top talent.

[@timbillings6884]

They weren't enderrated! You were probably not here! 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

[@panda9144]

Underrated? They were the top-selling band in the world in the early 70s

[@billr3724]

3DN had 2 platinum albums and 13 gold albums. They were extremely popular in the 70s, not underrated at all.

[@SiobhanSibealFernweh]

Maybe today but back in the day you couldn't go an hour without hearing Three Dog Night on the radio, thankfully. One reacter said this intro sounded like the sun rising. I loved that.

[@sukie584]

Written by the late great Laura Nyro. A very unique artist. She wrote so many songs that people know but have no clue it’s her song. 3Dog Night, and The Fifth Dimension did quite a few of her songs. This is a great live performance!

[@susanstein6604]

Laura Nyro never became as famous as she should have because she had tremendous stage fright.

[@d.sluder4427]

She does a better version of this song imho.

[@sukie584]

@@d.sluder4427 I love her as a writer and she had a very unique singing style. I personally prefer the interpretations of her songs.

[@richarddexter7641]

Don't forget Blood, Sweat, and Tears on that list.

[@sukie584]

@@richarddexter7641 right! And When I Die! Great song!

[@markprior2278]

"One" and "Liar" are two of my personal favourites of theirs

[@bradhernandez5823]

I have had "Liar" stuck in my head for the last 2 months. Originally by Argent. Three Dog Night delivers the definitive version. Worth a listen.

[@mikemclaughlin4879]

Last, best of their concert songs.. saw these guys twice back in the 69 70 time frame..

[@BigC.]

Folks took me to the Forum to see Three Dog Night in 1970 when I was seven. I remember a strange scent.

[@BeeLineEast]

LoL Are you taiking about the Forum in Harrisburg Pa.

[@obbor4]

@@BeeLineEast I'm pretty sure he means the Forum in Los Angeles (actually Inglewood, Ca.)

[@classicrocklady6288]

🤣

[@BeeLineEast]

@@obbor4 Ok that's probably where he meant. They do have a Forum in Harrisburg Pa. Bands played there for decades. You never know it's a,small world out there.

[@angielofton6372]

My sister took me to see Stevie Wonder when I was 12. I think I smelled that same smell.

[@supasoulproductions]

Liar, Never Been to Spain, Shambala, One, The Show Must Go On, You, Circle for a Landing, I've Got Enough Heartache and, of course, Joy to the World... A very deep catalog by the Best Cover band EVER! Three fantastic lead singers who could harmonize like nobody's business with a kick ass rock band. They did not write, but they were awesome at choosing songwriters and picking deep cuts from other artists.

[@trlblzn1]

..not to mention "Your Song"

[@jimmcevers9443]

Another under rated group from the 70's. Huge catalogue a lot of hits and many other great tunes. I personally think some of their best work never hit the airwaves. And again pre 1996 so no autotune!! Enjoy the ride!!!

[@RB-uh1ss]

I agree! They all had great voices and many hits. They were my 1st concert , I was obsessed with them❤️

[@CajunConstitution57]

Here I am, a 63 year old semi-retired old guy. Sitting here doing an expense report watching and listing to my 70's high school music when I noticed Wilburn's reaction video to one of my top 20 favorite bands of all times "Three Dog Night". If memory serves, it's from their album "Suitable for Framing" that I bought at Woolco back around 1970 on 8-track tape. I remember riding my Schwinn Stingray to get it. I absolutely love when the younger generation discovers and appreciates the music that I grew up with. "Took you to Church" I LOVE that analogy! I subscribed right then and there. Yeah, not many bands have 3 lead singers with that kind of vocal range. If you can find any let me know. Picture this fantasy, Corey Wells (the blonde guy that started your church service) with Philip Bailey of Earth Wind & Fire singing the Bruno Mars hit Grenade with Bruno Mars. Talk about full church revival!!! Great job Wilburn, you made my day!!!

[@chickmcgee1000]

They do an amazing cover of Try a Little Tenderness, live version showcases how good they were. When They finished putting the band together, they sent invitations to the record companies to come and listen, then they chose the best offer.

[@surlechapeau]

Chod, their "Joy To The World", "Black And White", "Shambala" and "Never Been To Spain" are next for you! Harmonies and a great band with 3 singers sold 40 million records. Mr. Cory Wells on lead!

[@filetknife5916]

They had a lot of fun up on stage. That's what I like about this band! They had several big hits like Joy To The World, Never Been To Spain, Black And White and The Show Must Go On, etc. My favorite is Easy To Be Hard which is slightly more mellow than the others and an absolutely beautiful song!

[@1177kc]

They still have fun on stage.

[@doplinger1]

Not too bad, but I really hope you’ll take the time to listen to the studio version. These guys had a ton of hits back in the early 70s, and I never tire of hearing them.

[@kenperk9854]

Yeah, I call the Studio version, Two minutes of Extreme HIGH HEAT!

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

"Not too bad"? Wow you are a hard man to impress!

[@doplinger1]

@@DawnSuttonfabfour - I guess I’m too much of a purist. Its not that it’s not a good version, but I still think one needs to listen to the studio version for a first listen. This is great for alive version but it’s so over the top compared to the studio version that I don’t think it does it justice. Just my opinion.

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

@@doplinger1 Well ok then, you are free to go, haha. Will find the studio version too. I love the O.T.Topness of it. Think I'll listen now before all my meds kick in! :)

[@DawnSuttonfabfour]

@@doplinger1 Ok Dave I liked it a lot but I love the love they put in live so it DOESN'T sound like a studio. The voices are par excellence and deserved every bit of what they sang so brilliantly together and singly.And they always play like they are loving what they do. East Coast of England where we are freakin still on lockdown. Nice talking to you @Dave Oplinger. Peace, love & music. x

[@keefmack]

No reason this band is not in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. There was hardly a bigger band in the late 60’s into early 70’s than this band.

[@StatsJedi]

Soon as I saw the title, I knew......ohhhhh man! Chod has entered the smoky temple! Done to perfection.

[@gwensnyder8313]

Written by the incredible Laura Nyro.

[@godbluffvdgg]

Wow, thanks for the heads up. I've been into these guys and the Fifth dimension since the 70's ...I never even heard of her.

[@godbluffvdgg]

@@ginnywhat5777 :) I googled her after I wrote that...It's so crazy how things are deliberately, kept from us and true authors are often unmentioned. I learned a lot from the documentary on here; The Wrecking Crew... I knew none of those musicians, and I've been a musician for 45 years...It just goes to show ya!

[@robbiem9293]

They were so hot in the 70s!! So many great songs. Easy to be Hard is a great ballad, you should check it out

[@johnlillis1161]

you should hear them do Otis Redding's try A Little Tenderness it rocks thanks Three Dog Night dose a great job on it Otis would be proud

[@CA-tz2sg]

It gives me chills!!

[@DRUMTOY2002]

I’m a 57 year old former semi professional drummer and ever since I was 7 years old Three Dog Night has been one of my absolute favorite bands because of EXACTLY what they did to you right HERE!!! Thank you for REALLY feeling it!!!

[@williamschrom1584]

Never Been to Spain

[@talltulip]

Three Dog Night was such an amazing group, and SO underappreciated! There are many many songs that are "must listen!!!

[@sallysharp3845]

Old Fashion Love Song.

[@sharilynbratton6476]

Yay! All 3 guys had great voices! I've been begging for this very video for ages, ha! The one who held that note always liked to goof a bit!

[@mstewart109]

Totally agree. So underrated during their time performing. I had every album back then...such talent.and this song-- my favorite of theirs . Period. Keep going on three dog night!!

[@garyr8739]

Others have mention ONE and that is the name of the song. ONE "is the loneliest number."

[@TheDivayenta]

Written by the brilliant singer/songwriter Laura Nyro who also wrote “Stoned Soul Picnic” , “ And When I Die”, et al.

[@TheDivayenta]

Chod- check out the composer! She wrote many R&B hits for so many groups back in the mid-sixties. She died at 50 from cancer. Laura Nyro was ahead of her time. “ And When I Die” is another great one.

[@ebonywahine]

Three male vocalists all round and did sing both soulful leads and great harmony are the elements that made Three Dog Night stand out from the rest back in the day. They were the first rock concert I ever attended and it was fantastic, I'll never forget it.

[@monicamad1285]

I was just listening to Shambala today. These guys are awesome!!

[@billmann6278]

Three Dog Night was the highest grossing touring band in the USA for a couple of years in the early 1970's, very popular. Soft and tender enough for the girls and hard rocking enough for the guys, so just about everybody loved them.

[@PK1971PK]

The core of Three Dog Night were the three singers. Their best to come, in my mind, in order, are "One", "Liar" and "Joy to the World".

[@rickloiselle5808]

One of the absolute best reactions I have ever seen. Three Dog Night were total masters of their style of music. Three superb singers backed up by an incredibly tight band. We just don not see this any more.

[@cocosisco3751]

My favorite reaction ever! - I'm right there with ya - amazing band

[@GinnyRobertsonLLC]

This is so great! First time seeing this live version. I realized at the end that I didn’t hear any of the instruments. I was mesmerized by their voices and performance. And, my my my...they were easy on the eyes as well. Had to listen again to appreciate the sounds.

[@jimwiater2867]

Written and first recorded by Laura Nero. One of the greatest most underrated song writers ever. She made it into the Hall of fame

[@debramandra6338]

NYRO.

[@SweetThing]

The first singer was Cory Wells in the middle, then the 2nd singer was Danny Hutton on the left, the third is Chuck Negron on the right. Cory & Danny were always competitive; (that's why Danny held his note so long), they were the 2 that started the band, but the competitiveness took a toll on their friendship. Ironically, they were the last 2 of the 3 left for quite a few decades, as Chuck had heavy drug abuse problems; he finally conquered his demons; he said himself he shouldn't be alive. Chuck is a drug counselor for the youth now. RIP, Cory; we lost him in 2015. React to "Out in the Country", "One" and "Liar". And if you've ever heard of Australian singer Jeff Farnham (if you haven't, you need to), he does a mean "One"; the only other singer that I think can carry that song! Peace.

[@BethHutter]

These guys were SO good!!! Every single one of those guys had amazing voices. The Show Must Go On, Mama Told Me Not To Come, Easy to Be Hard, One, Black and White.

[@timothysarris9742]

Never have seen 3 terrific singers in one band. Have any of you all? Not in my 65 years of life!

[@Kim-hc5si]

OOOOOH NOW WE’RE TALKIN’! 👏👏👏🔥 You do need to hear the studio version just so you know how the world knew it.

[@kayneedham6992]

Love the song Joy to the World

[@keithdavis9897]

Corey Wells, the guy in the center grew up in a interracial area in New York and would sit outside the Baptist Church ( he intimated it was mostly black folk) and would love to listen to the music. His soulful expression was fostered in those moments. Sounds like he learned well....🙂

[@westdiva]

GREAT reaction for one of the all time great and under appreciated bands who could throw it down in the studio, but more importantly - LIVE and IN PERSON - Three Dog Night!!! Starting with “…going to church!…”, and ending with the fish reference of “…filleted and fried!…”!!! Dude, you got me “…hook, line, and sinker!…” LOVE IT!!!!🥰

[@anthonyblakely399]

Well Finally you got to this group after 6 months of requesting.....knowing....KNOWING...that you like good music...great vocals.....and great lyrics......finally you get to one of my all-time favorite Rock n' Roll Bands which change my life in 1968 with this song, Eli's Coming and literally introduced me to Rock n' Roll from my R & B Jazz Blues upbringing.......and I have seen them in concert 4 times....Excellent...but the audios I would listen to first.....also check out "Woman(audio version)." by Three Dog Night....very soulful. It is FIRE!!!!

[@Kalau77]

3 Amazing lead singers,that also sing backup....Easy to be Hard and One are jams too

[@jeffpoole2347]

Quite possibly the three greatest vocalists gathered on one stage

[@ngala08]

Jesus hair....Lord ha mercy🤣😂🤣💖. The group and the band are anointed.

One, Try A Little Tenderness, One Man Band, Out In The Country, Shambala, Easy To Be Hard

[@mattshaw6180]

Big call-out for "Shambala" here....a distilled shot of early-70s cool.

[@EdwardGregoryNYC]

'One is the Loneliest Number' is a great choice. I got to see these guys on a Riverboat in New Orleans in '84. Great show.

[@SonicProfessor_a.k.a._T._Andra]

It's just called: "One" (Yes. Like the, now, MORE famous MetallicA song.)

Taken to church in some bell bottoms and platforms...damn that was great!

[@hollywoodharriet13]

That was our Dad's name so no telling how many times we sang Eli's coming....especially if we didn't want him to know what we were doing. Great memories and great music. Three Dog Night was an extremely popular band with many hits. Very talented musicians.

[@eddielane9569]

I Saw Three Dog Night performing in Panama City Florida back in 1985 or 86 and they were a really good group. When I was a kid I use to sing their songs as I would hear them on the radio quite often. The bell bottoms and platform shoes take me back.

[@lxhobson]

3 Dog Night -- great individual singers and great harmonies. I love their song "Cowboy". I don't know that it ever charted, but, to me, it is one of their best.

[@dougnelsin1480]

One of my all time favorite bands. "Try A Little Tenderness" is another great soulful song. It soars.

[@valdannfamr.2430]

🤩 Oh yeah...Three Dog Night is GOLDEN! I am So glad to have grown up listening to them in the early to mid 70's. Their music was always playing in our house. Make sure to check out their other hits like: Easy to Be Hard, One, Just an Old Fashioned Love Song, Never Been to Spain...just to name a few. 👍👍👍✌

[@punkypappa1381]

I just love your reactions to my favourite band growing up!

[@shezarae8827]

I love when people react to good live performances, I always want to see then sing and play. These older singers did not have auto tune to hod the note on key for them, and some like these guys were extraordinary. Cheers

[@wpollock1]

Sounds like a revival.....you shall be HEALED! Love this song....really underrated band.

[@kst357]

Dude you scored a win with this one because nobody else did a Three Dog Night reaction to this song. The thing about Three Dog Night is that from one hit to the other you have to keep deciding which dog is your favorite singer & then your favorite song changes every time a new one comes out.

[@cindyshawver9986]

Their Old Fashioned Love Song live video is the best !!.....from 1975.....and keep ur eyes on them.......they do some funny stuff.....LOL

[@Thombene77]

"Out in the Country" great tune!

[@Noname-ni1dy]

Can’t even name all of the amazing songs these guys recorded. Family of Man, Never Been To Spain, Shambala, One , Pieces ofApril, Try aLittle Tenderness……….the list is almost unending!

[@cathyopthof8136]

The superbly gifted Corey Wells!♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@kellywann3794]

Fantastic performance! There was a time when this band ruled the world... An unusual story: Jimmy Greenspoon the keyboardist lived in Tucson, same place Paul McCartney had a vacation home. My friend went to the supermarket one night and saw them both in the checkout line chatting. Could you imagine?

[@halt2045]

Back when I was in the 8th grade in the late sixties, this was my favorite song. Though the band has changed completely over the years, they are still touring today.

Great singing music out great 👍 when I was they always songs on billboard

[@bonya4585]

Laura Nyro wrote this and recorded it on her album “Eli and the Thirteenth Confession”. “Sweet Blindness”, Stoned Soul Picnic”,

Nailed it! Took us to church 😊 You are so awesome Chod! I have never seen this live version. Blew me away!! Laura Nyro wrote this song who was a new york Russian Jew. She had some church in her 😉

[@philpartynski3125]

The late, great Cory Wells! I’m telling you, he was one of the most soulful singers ever. Only he can get away with “Try A Little Tenderness” and “A Change Is Gonna Come” and make them both his own. Talk about taking you to church! This is a HUGE rabbit hole! Also try “One”, “Nobody”, “Celebrate” (w/Chicago horns), the incredibly arranged and beautiful “Out In The Country” and on and on...

[@freckled100]

This song was written by Laura Nyro. Three Dog Night does a great job, but the feel of it is very different when Laura Nyro sings it. It's very much more ethereal.

[@danielfardella1622]

That song (I'm an 'old-man now') hit the charts without that intro, because radio songs had to be short (3 min) BUT MAN... this rendition is fire! Thank you Mr. Wilburn!

[@sabretom7594]

They have many openings for this song. Saw them in the cotton bowl in 71. The three front men were in the stands and auditioned for the lead. Very fun and creative.

[@sallymcmanus9198]

This performance was filmed live in 1975 on the show “Soundstage”. The 40+ minute show has their most recognized songs as well as you get to see just how funny they were, it’s really a great show. This is a band that had 3 lead singers, which is mostly unheard of in the 70’s. Cory Wells who sings lead on this song has sadly passed away, but Chuck Negron (brown hair & smokin’ mustache) & Danny Hutton (curly dark hair & the clown of the band) are still alive. I highly recommend checking this show out! ✌️☮️
