Three Dog Night - Old Fashioned love Song | REACTION

[@robertcringle4865]

That's actually three part harmony. Three singers doing their own thing and blending it together.

[@jnadle1]

This is a requirement of all artists, if anyone plans to cover "An Old Fashioned Love Song" it has to be done by an actual vocal trio, bottom line.

[@dizastro5437]

Wrote for you and me

[@puddysue]

It's so wonderful to look back on all these artists who had enough talent to just come out on stage and dazzle you with pure talent... no light shows, no dancers, no autotune, not coming out half naked (like so many female artists feel they need to do nowadays). Pure talent!

[@maxbrazil3712]

His moustache has more talent than 90% of today's "popular" artists.

[@jodip699]

lol Chuck has a great mustache, voice and personality. I agree...the junk they put out now could put one into a coma. It's pain to the brain.

[@Kate98755]

That’s a true statement

[@tlodland1]

He’s right, put you in a coma. I did it, a stroke. Twelve years ago, I was in a coma. Listening to this! But you’re right, 90% of the artists put the “artists” away.

Fun Fact : Three dog night is the world's most successful cover band of all time, as all but under 10 of the songs on their 12 albums were written and performed by various artists prior to three dog night recording them.

[@checle4499]

They were a joy to listen to and watch - happy music. Try "Joy to the World" and "Celebrate".

[@jefflee2698]

Every member of the group could sing, they had a no 1 hit with each one singing lead.

[@adamellis6785]

I'll add to the votes for their song, "One" - It's one of the most beautiful songs of the era. It was written by Harry Nilsson (another artist whose work you should take a deep dive into).

[@andrewft31]

Nilsson wrote several good songs for the Monkees, Cuddly Toy and Daddy's Song, both great

[@bobthebear1246]

@@andrewft31 And ironically had his biggest hit with someone else's song ("Without You") originally written and recorded by Badfinger.

[@INUAGAIN]

I got to watch one of their last performances at the Oregon State Fair in the early eightees. Only about half the band and Chuck Negron showed. The ONLY way that I knew they were there is because there is NO mistaking Chucks voice. I was right but had to walk about a half mile to the stage and back to my work. These dudes could spit out the harmonies, and they were very entertaining, I didn't like them as well live except for the entertainment... a great band.

I was eight years old in 1975 and I remember hearing this song on the radio and singing along

"Never been to Spain ",written by Hoyt Axton, the Dad in the movie"Gremlins"

The song was written by Paul Williams. He also wrote, We've Only Just Begun as a Crocker Bank commercial jingle. Richard Carpenter borrowed it and made it famous with Karen Carpenter's vocals...

My small city back in the early 2000s would do free summer Friday concerts. I got to see The Doors and Reo Speedwagon that way. One Friday in July 2010 they had 3 Dog Night. I got there IMMEDIATELY after work. I bought my pop and then went over to the stage and just stayed there. It was standing only. I had to stand for several hours beacuse I was early, there were opening bands, and then the concert, but to have a front row view was the whole point. I even got my picture in the paper as part of other photos called "View From The Front Row." We got to have a quote bubble in the picture. I said "I'm honored to see a classic band." Great night!! Great concert!! And then as it happened I saw RUSH for the first time the next night in Toronto!🎶🎤🎵🎸🎹😄👏👍

It takes me back to fun times I had with my friends. We couldn't wait to get together and we talked about every subject under the sun, with the backdrop of some great music playing. We need to take all the cell phones from the kids and throw them away...they need to know what it's like to have good friends again.
