Three Dog Night

BIOGRAPHy

Three Dog Night scored a succession of 21 hit singles, including eleven Top Tens, and twelve consecutive gold albums from 1969 to 1975, thanks to the slick, sometimes soulful vocal harmonies of singers Danny Hutton, Chuck Negron, and Cory Wells and an excellent ear for quality material. When Three Dog Night struck gold with “Joy To The World” in 1971, fans worldwide acclaimed their driving pop/rock sound and powerful harmonies. Today Three Dog Night delivers their signature sound to audiences spanning generations. They wound up with fourteen gold albums, nine gold singles and sold more than forty million units. Three Dog Night toured extensively during the seventies, breaking attendance records in venues ranging from concert halls to football stadiums. In 1975, however, the rigors of non-stop roadwork caught up with the group. Although each band member needed to ‘get away’ from the hectic world of pop music, each began, eventually to feel the need to return. Unfinished business involving the original group got them together again. To their surprise, they found they all shared the same feeling, a resurgence of interest in music and a growing desire to try it all over again. As Danny Hutton puts it, “We just had a test rehearsal and discovered the old magic was still there.” Three Dog Night was reborn.
