WOW!| FIRST TIME HEARING Three Dog Night - Eli's Coming REACTION

[@nannyb576]

NO background singers - just the guys who have so much range and talent.

[@M_ondo]

Chuck Negron opened the song, then the late great Cory Welles took lead, and all three joined in. Loved this 💎 in 69, still do in 2025. Very successful group for probably 8 yrs . A catalog of many very good songs!

[@TheGunslingerRoland]

The vibe is always good with Three Dog Night.

[@montbob100]

there are no background singers here.They had 3 super vocalists.

[@tomdinder2109]

Chuck Negron,Danny Hutton and Buffalo’s Own Cory Wells handled all of the vocals!

[@SBel65]

And NO women singers there either! 😂😂

[@JoeSlish-q2e]

they did all there own vocals, no group today could this song

[@kowindsurf1590]

" out in the country" '"pieces of april " , " one man band " Chuck Negron sings the high pitch vocal ,a great singer the thin guy & moustache

Shout out to singer/songwriter Laura Nyro who was a prolific songwriter of the 60s and 70s. Check out When I die- Blood sweat and tears, Wedding bell blues and Stone soul picnic by the 5th Dimension and Stoney end by Barbara Streisand

[@marinamartinez6886]

Yes, wish someone would react to her.

[@longago-igo]

Totally agree!

[@Rhiannon011]

I loved Laura's "original songs" sung by her and to me hers were much more soulful, beautiful and heartfelt than those that got 'hits" out of her songs...sad...more should react to these "original songs sung and written by Laura herself...

[@vernonbolinger9488]

No backround singers. No women on the high notes. Chuck negron does that great voice

[@Mainecoonlady.]

Live version of this is stunning! That note you mentioned… that’s Chuck Negron.

[@Jims_Camera_at_dawn]

Three Dog Night was and are amazing. Three lead singers that had great harmony. ☕️☕️🎶🎵🎶

[@rrailguitar2211]

Laura Nyro is one of those people who get overlooked when we look back at the 60s. She did great recordings of her own songs like Eli's Coming, And When I Die, and Stoned Soul Picnic (you've already done Wedding Bell Blues one of her best.) I especially like "Save The Country." Three Dog Night got some grief for not writing their own material, but they thereby brought some great writers to the spotlight like Randy Newman, Harry Nilsson, Hoyt Axton, B.W. Stevenson, and Laura Nyro.

[@NancyMoran-r3b]

Yes, Laura Nyro wrote so many songs for other singers. Her voice is superb. There’s no voice like hers. Save the Country besides this song is very good.

[@carlpierce5311]

Three Dog Night Out in the Country, check that one.

[@robertmog4336]

That might be my fave TDN song!

[@megroth1948]

Absolutely my favorite song. Jay you need to check Out in the Country!

[@boosuedon]

One thing I always loved about these guys was their loyalty to each other! The record company wanted to use studio musicians for the recording sessions but the three singers, Cory, Chuck and Danny said "NO!" We are a band and we will record as a band! And they did! I always admired them for that!

[@debibailey2968]

I've always loved Three Dog Night since the 60's! And this is one of my very favorites!! They're just great!! Thanks Jay !! ❤❤❤❤. Mama Told Me Not to Come .... Is another great one I'd suggest!!! ❤❤❤❤

[@missd9785]

Mamma Told Me Not To Come is my favorite of theirs. I think Rob Squad reacted to that a long time ago...

[@debibailey2968]

@missd9785 could have, I've lost track over the years!!!

[@COLINWARD-v3y]

Yes great choice and great reaction. 'Mama told me not to come' is a favourite.

[@debbiesinclair-o8m]

Saw them three times in the early '70s. Always a great concert!! They had no background singers. That's Corey Wells, Danny Hutton, and Chuck Negron.

[@aircap]

This song was written by the great Laura Nyro when she was still a teenager in junior high school. RIP

[@nancygoodnough279]

Their 1975 live Soundstage performances were some of the best live shows I’ve ever seen. No auto tune no extra enhancements. It was great and the whole thing is here on KZbin

[@dianawhite637]

Couldn't agree more! One of the best concert I ever saw! But what the heck was Danny on? He was crazy singing, Old Fashion Love Song. Did you see Chuck kick him in the backside? It was funny tho. Plus, the band was also tight!❤

[@DonnaKubiski]

This is my favorite Three Dog Night song. It surprised me when I saw you were reacting to it because I didn't realize that you hadn't heard it yet. I watch so many different channels that's it's hard to keep up with who's done what. Glad you are finally listening to this great song.

[@richarddexter7641]

The studio version is great, but the live version really shows out the different vocalists. Well worth a listen.

[@mstewart109]

Live versions for 3dog night are the best. Especially this song. Oh please feature Laura Nyro and her music she wrote ( this one) and performed herself. What a voice she has! Jay, go watch the live version after this so you can see the dynamics. My favorite of theirs. So worth it.

[@mstewart109]

Those background singers are the 3 lead vocalist. They take turns on their music. All 3 amazing talented

[@WayneMemphisMojo]

Hey now Jay, thanks for sharing your reactions with us 😊

[@KenRoerden]

Love Three Dog Night. Got to see them twice in concert. Check out a live performance of Try A Little Tenderness. For the softer side listen to Pieces Of April.

[@dianawhite637]

Absolutely true! TENDERNESS on Soundstage 1975 was absolute fire! RIP Cory! He hit it out of the park!

By far my favorite Three Dog Night song. Had to listen to your reaction 3 times. I could crank the volume up all the way and play Eli's Coming on a continuous loop all night long.

[@thomasreske4628]

Great to see you. Great to hear this song. After ‘’Shambala’, this is my next favorite Three Dog Night. Excellent choice.

“Laura Nyro's song "Eli's Comin'" was inspired by her awakening to feminism, sex, drugs, prostitution, and urban angst: Concept album "Eli's Comin'" is part of Nyro's 1968 album Eli and the Thirteenth Confession, which was one of the first concept albums.”

[@anthonyblakely399]

Thank you for reacting to this song. Three Dog Night took Blue-eyed soul music and put the rock in it!!! lol.....This song made the band a nationwide hit in the public....and we all waited their concerts and live TV performances. Really in the Black community we all thought they were "Black!" And then when we went to buy their records and album...we were SHOCKED!!!! Hahahaha...these guys are Black singing like they came from a Black Church...wow.....yeah...see the live performance of this song, "Eli's Coming" You are going to LOVE!!!! And it will give you an idea of what my firends and I experienced when we saw them in concert.

[@kirbywilliamson2942]

The first time I ever heard this song by THREE DOG NIGHT it was live , and as good as the studio version is , the live version is ten times better ❗ THREE DOG NIGHT had a lot of hits , but to truly appreciate their sound you had to see them live . What incredible showman .

[@kennethminer3943]

Another great song by a great group. Strong vocals and musicianship. Lots of great additional suggestions already listed below.

[@memorylane7068]

The high part is Chuck Negron. Cory Wells sings lead on this one. Danny Hutton sings as well, and he is the one who had the idea and started the band in the mid-60's.

[@snipchick]

I saw Chuck Negron a few years ago with the Happy Together tour - The Turtles, The Cowsills, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, The Buckinghams, and The Classics IV - great fun!

Great song from Three Dog Night!! Haven’t heard you do “Black and White” I don’t think. The song and video are amazing! 😊❤

[@timreed8876]

Saw them at Gruene Hall in New Braunfels, TX in early November. Danny Hutton is the only member still with the band. He is 82 years old & still in great voice. They played for an hour & a half, sang all their hits and one new song. David Morgan took the place of the late, great Corey Wells.

[@rickpat-x9u]

One of the greatest concerts I have ever been to was Three Dog Night in a small venue in Oklahoma in '81 or '82... It was a small local theater where they did local community playhouse. Gordon Lightfoot, Carol King, and Seals&Crofts had also played there to cozy but sellouts of 800-1000 in concert hall with that mahogany columns, deep red velvet w/ gold trim wall hangings for soundproofing in the fashion of being a Concert Hall-Movie Palace-Theatrical Playhouse built in the 1930s with oil boom money

[@MrTRFord]

Saw them in Pennsylvania in August 1981 at an old Movie theater. Great show. R.I.P. Cory Wells

[@susanworkman529]

Glad you are going back to the old classics. 3 Dog Night had some great tunes....."Joy To The World" and "Just An Old-fashioned Love Song" are 2 of my favorites. Ooooph! Jay you have got to listen to the live extended intro version. Always choose live over album when you react to the songs from the 60's - 80's. . Live is always better. Use a filter if you're afraid of copyright infringements. Live performances were the best back then. You miss out when you do albums.

[@angelaluna71]

Always. Lov3 this one

[@TYJGB]

It was Chuck Negron hitting those high notes. I saw him perform with the Happy Together tour and he still had his amazing voice. Also, he was entertaining and very, very funny on stage! This particular song, Eli's Coming is a nonstop powerhouse after the intro, never coming up for air.

[@jrox6091]

Oooooh I've asked for this one before & am so pleased you finally got to it! An iconic 3 Dog Night tune, written by Nyro & made famous by this band. It just plain kicks tail. I agree, Jay. This band had it all and gave us a varied collection of great hits. They deserve to be in the R&R HOF but probably never will be. We boomers have our own HOF though. Cannot take that away. Another arse kicker is Mama Told Me Not To Come, written by the crazy wonderful Randy Newman. The lyrics are clever ("Want some whiskey in your water? Sugar in your tea?") and the melody bangs. Thanks & be blessed ❤

[@andrewleavenworth2309]

There's a fun live version where these 3 powerhouse vocalists improvise the intro vocals and it's a wild variation. You'll enjoy reacting to that one. ;o)
