Three Dog Night had 3 lead singers btw. They had many great songs, check out Easy To Be Hard, Celebrate, Black And White, Try A Little Tenderness, Shambala, One, Mama Told Me Not To Come, Out In The Country, so many more! No autotune needed here, their voices were the same live!

"ONE"..... is the loneliest number that you'll ever do.. Many here can hear that song in their minds now.

Three Dog Night is an American rock band formed in 1967, founded by vocalists Chuck Negron, Cory Wells, and Danny Hutton. This lineup was soon augmented by Jimmy Greenspoon, Joe Schermie, Michael Allsup, and Floyd Sneed. The band had 21 Billboard Top 40 hits between 1969 and 1975, with three hitting number one. They are firmly planted in Classic Rock History.

Three Dog Night was a soul/r&b/rock outfit with 3 lead singers that _owned_ the airwaves and record charts from about 1969-1975. They were _the sound_ of the early 1970s, plain and simple. Try "Shambala," "Old-Fashioned Love Song," or "Never Been to Spain" for some great vibes!

Laura Nyro wrote the song in Jr High music class, supposedly to prove to the teacher that Rock & Roll wasn't junk. It was on her second album "Eli and the thirteenth confession" and there seems to be no mention of who Eli was.

The 1975 live concert version of them doing this song is a must watch....it's 🔥🔥🔥 All 3 singers have amazing voices. Love your reactions to the music of my generation 😍

This band had three incredible vocalists!! This song was always my favorite, so thanks for another great reaction, as always!!

you really need to watch them in a live situation to understand how incredible they were

The name “Three Dog Night” is a reference to how cold it is … how many dogs it will take to keep you warm.

This song always made me think of my grandpa when I was a kid because his name was Eli, kindest man ever. Love Three Dog Night, used to have every one of their albums.

You must see there stuff live( even on your own time) you have to see these guys perform.. trust me. I grew up on them in 60s 70 one of my favorites . This song !!!

Lots of great songs from these guys .... great harmonies

The best singers ever! That band slayed. Check out more of their music.

You've entered a deep rabbit hole now. I love that they had not one, not two, but three lead singers. You should listen to Joy to the World, Black and White and Mama Told Me.

Any Three Dog Night song is a good intro to their music, as all their songs are amazing! "Mama Told Me Not To Come", "Easy To Be Hard", and Shambala" are three of my favorites, but no matter which song you choose to react to, they're ALL great! Thanks for another great reaction, JM! ✌💙✌

Cory Wells on the lead, Chuck Negron with the high voice, Danny Hutton on the Walk Walk part, and when all three come together, it's magic time! They were known as a "cover band" and they did use other people's songs, but almost all were from young up and coming writers whose originals weren't widely known and TDN made them and their songs famous. Deep rabbit hole here, too many hits to list, but faves are One, Black and White, Easy To Be Hard, Mama Told Me Not to Come, Joy To the World, Out In the Country and the list goes on. They were like the Beatles in that every song sounded unique, done in several different styles. Quality stuff, keep a-ridin that train! 👍🏾

Check out the live version of this song. It will blow your mind!

Blood Sweat & Tears - David Clayton Thomas was asked by a band member to listen to some songs his girlfriend (Laura Nyro) wrote and Eli's Comin' was one.

The great late Cory Welles on lead on this fantastic song. Other greats are Chuck Negron and Danny Hutton Many very good songs. Very successful group from 68 maybe till 1975. Actually one of my favorite groups ever!

Another great song from…Three Dog Night!👍🥰

Great song. "Out in the Country" is another that well stands the test of time.

This is a great live performance which is a must see. They also had many great songs including "Black and White."

It's worth seeing the video Soundstage 1975.

3DN ARE GREAT. I listened to them every day in Vietnam 1969-70. They helped a lot of us get through it & back to the WORLD.

Another group that the Hammond B3 Organ took the lead often. They were basically a four man band with three front men singers who added things like Tambourines. No other group had that combination.... it worked.

Another group I'm glad you finally got around to doing. I suggested them with..."ONE" last year sometime. This is another of their great Classic Rock tunes. I walked 6 (one way) miles to buy their first album. They set the tempo for many bands in that time.

be careful, they will become a favorite

I really wish it was the 1975 live video. You should check it out too. The intro is unbelievably amazing and shows their true talent. Trust me it's worth a second reaction to it.❤❤❤ Viewers won't be mad to see a second reaction to the live. It's that good!!!!❤❤

"Try A Little Tenderness" for some blue-eyed-soul. Cory Wells was an incredible singer

The term "Three Dog Night" comes from how many dogs they slept with in their Alaskan igloos. A 3 dog night was quite cold. After hearing the term they used it for the band name.

The live version of this is even better !!!

If you liked this, you gotta hear their song, Liar. On a different note, lend an ear to Right, on David Bowie's album Young Americans. It's got it all!

These guys - "Try A Little Tenderness"

This song was written by the late great Laura Nyro. Look her up. She wrote many songs that other artists sang. Her body of work on her albums is amazing. No one on the world has a voice like hers. Her range is incredible! One of her albums is called Eli and the Thirteenth Confession. I particularly like this song, Lucky, Upstairs by a Chinese Lamp and so many more.

You should try the luve version . Outstanding

Three lead singers. Listen to that harmony. Great song written by Laura Nyro. TDN had fantastic gift to rearrange and cover songs and turn them into hits which the originals never were.

I saw Three Dog Night in Vancouver in 1970. They had a lot of hits at the time. Mama Told Me Not to Come and Easy to Be Hard were my favourites.

You need to see the live 1975 version of this song. It highlights all 3 of the lead singers. Bill.

JM... This band... "Easy To Be Hard" is one of those you want to hear.

I think it's hard for today's listeners to understand what a big deal Three Dog Night was in their heyday. Their posters advertised that they sold more records than Creedence and drew bigger crowds than the Beatles. That's the size arena that they were operating in. For reasons that we 3DN fans don't understand their fame did not endure. They aren't played on the classic rock stations and they aren't in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, despite their many, many top 40 hits, including Old Fashioned Love Song, Shambala, Joy to the World, Liar, One, One Man Band, Mama Told Me Not to Come, Let Me Serenade You, The Show Must Go On, Black and White, Try a Little Tenderness, Never Been to Spain, Family of Man, and others that I can't remember off the top of my head. They were doing something that had become passe and instead of writing their own songs, they played the best songs written by other professional songwriters like Elton John, Randy Newman, Laura Nyro, Leo Sayer and many more. One of the original singers, Danny Hutton, keeps the flames alive and his Three Dog Night is on tour even as I write this.

The singers are Corey,chuck and danny. There is a cool live version of this that has an elongated vocal , and atmospheric music before the song starts getting going...they were big in the 70s lots of hits......

I think this was the 1st Three Dog Night song I heard as a kid, and it made me an instant fan. Great band, great music.

The live version is killer!!

Back then, when we heard that intro we knew it was time to crank it up..

My favorite of theirs! ❤

I saw these guys in the early 70s and they were great onstage.

Eli's Comin' was written by the great singer-song writer Laura Nyro. Three Dog Night recorded a number of her songs. I believe the back-up band had previously worked for Janis Joplin and were known as Full Tilt Boogie. I especially like their rendition of Paul Williams' song (another great prolific songwriter of the 1970s) Out In The Country. Great documentary about Paul Williams, his songwriting and his life, out on streaming video.

Find a live version of any of their songs and they sound just as good!

If you can watch the live performance of them you’ll enjoy it . Pick a song and keep your eye on them .

❤💯

They had a lot of great songs. My favorites are “Joy to the World” (not the Christmas carol) and “Never Been to Spain”, but you really can’t go wrong with any of their songs.

It seemed like every festival I went to back then 3 Dog Night were playing. Incredible harmonies, but wish that had have brought Chuck back after he got clean. He was my favorite, especially on One.

Still looooove Three Dog Night!!

Lots of good one with Three Dog Night. In spring 1971 I was in eighth grade and they were my first ever concert.

Lots of great songs by these guys

Use their 1975 TV live special.....best they ever were! Easy to get online. Watch these guys sing. Half the fun!

Yes!!! Loved it!

There is a great video of this song being performed.

Three Dog Night were one maybe the most popular group, in terms of record sales, from 1969 into the early 80s. So many hit songs on "The Billboard Top 100" chart, it was amazing. Unbelievably great harmonies. Thay have a very large music catalogue to go into if you are so inclined.

Hearing how having 3 lead singers worked together for Three Dog Night , I wonder if this had a bit of influence on Lynyrd Skynyrd having 3 lead guitar players in a band . Those configurations gave both those bands distinct advantages of having their own distinct sound comparable to other bands of their era .😎

Live version is awesome ❤

You must WATCH Cory Wells sing "Try A Little Tenderness out of that TV special!!!

Another great song choice.... Thanks.

Check out this song done by the songwriter, Laura Nyro. She’s a fantastic songwriter. She hits notes that no one else can. I don’t know which album it’s on but all of her songs are great!

Put on a copy of their greatest hits in your backyard...pour yourself three fingers of whiskey...get in your hammock and leave your cares behind.😎

Check out Liar❤ Mama told me not to come❤

thank for playing some good oldies

🔥🔥🔥

Chuck Negron sings the high notes.

Great things come in 3's. E.L.O....E.L.P.... R.E.O.... G.F.R..and Dogs singing lead with this band.

Good Reaction Young Man. A Gave a 👍 for this just because I Respect your Reaction Method . But I'm not crazy about this Particular song! 🎶

You should try Jam. Now that song really gets your blood pumping!

I heard that their group’s name came from this. When knights of England would sleep in a castle they needed warmth from the cold. Sometimes they would cuddle up with one dog. On a colder night they would need two dogs. Then, of course, on a frigid night they would need three dogs to stay warm. Hence the name, Three Dog Night. A play on the word knight.

I love love LOVE “Three Dog Night”! My favorite besides “Eli’s Coming” would be “ONE”. If you haven’t heard it, check it out! ✌🏼🫶🏽💫💯

Listen to Laura Nyro's version: It is haunting. Three Dog Night's version is in a class of it's own

Back in the days of "Bell Bottom Jeans".... and good... well, you know.

I have a suggestion please Radioactive by The Firm, Bad Company s front man Paul Rodgers and Led Zeppelin s Jimmy Page formed this band

" Joy to the World " non Xmas song. " Never been to Spain " Shambala " " Black and White "

I always felt when I was a little one that Eli was a euphemism for Jesus. Now that I'm in my older years, I have no idea who Eli was. 😄

Laura Nyro is an artist that nobody knows and everyone should. You should do HER songs by HER.

Don McLean - "American Pie"

Please react to "Mama Told Me Not to Come", live, thanks, great reactions.

You need to listen to the original by Laura Nyro, great songwriter, great voice, sadly also greatly overlooked

The Doors - "The End"

should have done this LIVE way better

Eli is a player. This is a female telling a female friend that Eli is coming back to town and she should avoid heartbreak by avoiding him.

Liar next

While the song is about a broken romance, Laura Nyro, whose mother was Jewish, is referencing the return of the Prophet Elijah. Every Passover, Jews set an extra cup of wine on the dinner table and open the door for the enigmatic prophet Elijah, hoping he will enter. An evolving symbol of hope and redemption in Judaism over the centuries, Elijah's return is said to mark the Messiah's earthly arrival.

The name "Three Dog Night" was actually taken from an Eskimo legend, of how many sled dogs you let lay on top of you, depending on how cold it was that night. One, Dog may have been good enough on a cold night, but in extreme cold temps of say 30 to 50 Degrees below zero, you would probably need the warmth of three Dogs to curl up with that night if you were going to survive that cold of temperature.

The Jewish people will disagree with me, but El-i is the face of God that is totally against any kind of sin, He is the jealous God of retribution, unlike Yahweh, the face of God that is mercy and compassion.
