Three Dog Night

Three Dog Night was an American rock band active from 1968 to 1975.

History

The group had seven members, including three singers and two keyboardists. The band was supported by Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. The group was originally called Redwood, but renamed because they had read in an article that Australian Aborigines with their dogs slept together on cold nights; in particularly cold nights it took three dogs to keep warm yourself.

Three Dog Night had no less than 40 gold records and 21 top-40 hits.

They sang songs of Randy Newman ( "Mama Told Me Not to Come " ), Laura Nyro ( " Eli 's Coming " ), Hoyt Axton ( " Joy to the World," Never Been to Spain), Elton John & Bernie Taupin ( "Lady Samantha " ), John Lennon and Paul McCartney ( " It's for You " ), Leo Sayer ( " The Show must Go On " ) and Harry Nilsson (" One " ). A great success for the band was the interpretation of the classic hair- Easy to Be Hard.

Mid-1980s, the group reappeared in 2006 they even went on tour. Of the original members are still two singers ( Cory Wells and Danny Hutton ), a keyboard player ( Jimmy Greenspoon ) and a guitarist (Michael Allsup ) on stage. They are complemented by a new bass player (Paul Kingery ) and a new drummer (Pat Bautz ).
