Well said!

Amen Kurt George! Best music in my lifetime. The music had guts, soul and charisma.

@@rickeymitchell8620 And it didn't all sound alike and no autotune.

Seems to me like we did know. 😊✌💙 Mostly just the radio and live concerts. That's the amazing part to me. In my area, D/FW Texas, radio station, KZEW "The Zoo" was everything. We had some great Dallas, Fort Worth and Austin venues and clubs too.

Are you serious this song is trash and if this is consistent with what you consider the best Era of music. I feel bad for you. 😔

I Wish

Who Is Eli???? Can anyone tell me????Please!!?

@@richrice852 Idk ! lol We just went with the song !

@@victoriawebster8816 I saw while I was listening to it and it said the meaning about who is Eli,but I saw it too late I all ready hit the out button,and can't find where that was.Google dosnt know.

I totally agree!

She was so talented.

Wow. Didn’t know that.

What didn't she write?

@@Fawn91193 a bad song

ditto

the best music of our lives. we just didn't know it.

Same here

...and Man walked on the moon. American society was a mess, though, with cities torn and sometimes burned in riots - my high school made national news when the school experienced a race riot and the police refused to come on campus.

I love how you described it as "musical TAPESTRY", because that's exactly what it was! Music of many different genres....no two alike. Groups, singers, were experimenting, and came up with fabulous new "sounds". Although I wasn't in to disco at all, there were a few excellent exceptions, just because of the quality and uniqueness of them. But, (only my opinion, my taste, much of it (disco) was mediocre, at best).

So very true .... Phenomenal 😂 2:38

Of course. Look who wrote it

❤❤ this song

Their live version on youtube is absolutley mindblowing.

True, shame this is lip synced. Can vary your distance from the Mic 🎤 and have this sound.

I hope she's in the Songwriter's Hall of Fame, b/c she was one of the Best

@@Jgeneraledger23 She is! It took a while but sadly it finally happened after she died of ovarian cancer. Also the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Her unique style influenced so many songwriters but few gave her credit. They just stole with no honor or acknowledgement. Women did not get much respect back then.

Look up their live version❤

That's why you half to lift the needle man and send it back to the beginning to hear it again and again and again and again 😂 catch my drift daddy O 😂 Groovy ✌️

Live in 75! Long eerie intro 😎

Agreed, more refrains, solos. The Sound Engineers could've gotten 5 minutes out of this, easy

Cory Wells and Chuck negron had powered and beautiful voices.

​@@lillypena4105 my first concert in June of 69 @clews Hall at butler, two weeks getting home from Vietnam, o my

Fantastic group but we've got to remember that Jesus is The Rock and we need our name written on his roll. With love, ex rock and roll music idolator.

These guys were my very first concert in 1972 ♥️ Amazing show & still nearly 50 years later one of the best live shows I’ve ever been to and I’ve seen dozens of live shows over the years 🎤🎸🔥♥️🥁

You got rappers in the HOF but not TDN. What a crock of politically correct bull shit.

Didn't know that (an amazing omission there).

@@levinwhitfield3398 I 2nd that !

They didn't write any of their music.

hahaha, that's great! Ontario in Canada, or Ontario in California

@@ToyotaGuy1971 However, no matter who's actually singing this song, I just truly love it! I have for 50 years.

@@ToyotaGuy1971 Also, your moniker reminded me that about 1970 my aunt and her husband had just has come home from him serving in the Army, and they'd bought a Datsun B-210. Man, I loved that car. But, it was before I could drive at the time (Listening to the song while writing this!).

@@IPlayOneOnT.V. That's a nicememory. I love the Datsun B-210's. So what's with your moniker; do you really act on tv?

@@ToyotaGuy1971 No, it's kind of a salute to, say, actors like Robert Young. who, as we know played "Marcus Welby, M.D.;" yet, he used to say people always came up to him with medical questions; and, he'd respond:....

@@IPlayOneOnT.V. Oh sure, i remember commercials like that.

Cory was not only eye candy but since in an interview he stated he hung around a black church, you can see how it influenced his love of soul music ! R.I.P. Cory you'll never be forgotten 😘

Chuck was always 'The Face' of Three Dog Night. Cory (and Danny for that matter) definitely had some chops though, probably more than most people realize.

Yet for Ms Nyro, it went nowhere as was the case with all her pieces which is why, at age 24, disgusted with the music industry just walked away from it.

You have to understand Three Dog Night takes those songwriters like Paul Williams and Laura Nyro and Hoyt Axton and elevates their stuff to a new level. It's a genius how they put it all together like that. It's not just the vocals, the band had to be absolutely spot on to set that up.

Interesting that it did better in Canada than it did here! Perhaps 'Eli' is a more-popular name up there

@@samkohen4589 I wonder why she was so "disgusted" with it, maybe a Label Exec hit on her and she didn't like it. Had to be something serious, either that, or Disco took over, must've been a big event

@@samkohen4589 She stepped away Temporarily from the music Business but came back. She wrote, recorded and toured intermittently until she died of ovarian cancer in 1997.

Original AM 8 Track Stereo? Worth good money today

Was always one of my favorite groups and still play their music

I would reply this song is sounded Grovvy and is very impressive thoughts and something like that is very nice

An incredible achievement for someone so young. Yet never had a hit herself which is why disgusted with the music industry walked away from it when she was only 24. She would make a few comebacks, but never for long until she passed away in 1997. She was only 49

Was she a singer though? Always thought of her more as a songwriter. These are more Nyro-penned songs as opposed to Covers.

@@Jgeneraledger23 she was a singer songwriter. She had already recorded those songs from 1966 aged 18.

Mamalonsisimo

And that is saying alot. I love it too, though! His clothes rock!

I was noticing Danny Hutton, thinking the striped pants had some effect on him LoL!

Puerto Rican hot blooded man......mmm.

Yes! Luv'd his soulful voice & energy when dancing. Miss him. RIP.

Cory was the coolest!

Passed away tragically when she was only 49.
