The Three Best Songs By Three Dog Night

Posted by: Fusion 45 in Three Best Songs, tags:

One of the earliest concerts in my repertoire was Three Dog Night at the Chemung (N.Y.) County Fair, sometime in the neighborhood of 1975. I had yet to know cool from corny but, at 13, thought I was getting there, sitting in the stands with my parents, who had cotton in their ears. Yeah, I knew cool.

The three best songs by Three Dog Night, subject to your agreement or otherwise.

Three Dog Night – The Family Of Man
Three Dog Night – Let Me Serenade You
Three Dog Night – Sure As I’m Sittin’ Here

    Three, great selections. Hard to argue with that trio, but there are just so many really good picks from TDN.
    I’l go with (in no particular order):

    Easy To Be Hard
    Out In the Country
    Time To Get Alone

    I totally agree with “Family Of Man”, but I think the 2 others should have been, maybe, “Out In The Country” & Hoyt Axton’s “Never Been To Spain” It’s just my opin… I like the fact someone else appreciates 3 Dog Night…

    I like Three Dog Night quite a bit and have good memories of hearing the group’s tunes come from the radio during high school evenings. Your three are good, but I think I’d go with “Eli’s Coming,” “Out InThe Country” and “Heavy Church.” The group’s catalog is absirdly rich, to be sure! (The Texas Gal votes for “One,” “Liar” and “Celebrate.”)

    Ok I know it’s uncool to like TDN, so I’m gonna be uncool to the max and I don’t care what ya say.

    I got soft spots for “Out In The Country” “Shambala” & “Never Been To Spain”. “Family Of Man” Let me Serenade You” & Cory Wells awesome version of “Try A Little Tenderness” are up high on the list as well.
    I love to sing along with TDN in the car.

    Danny Hutton, Cory Wells and Chuck Negron each could pin you to a wall with just their voices
    Floyd Sneed, Michael Allsup, Joe Schermie, and Jimmy Greenspoon were the most awe-inspiring rhythm section in the history of pop music. No need for session musicians with these guys.
    They had an outstanding production team with Gabriel Mekler. Richard Podolor and Bill Cooper.

    Sum of the parts. that’s what TDN was.
    All they lacked was a good songwriter in the band.
    I’d walk to Apollo by the bay for any TDN, anytime, anywhere.
    How uncool is that?

    Thanks for the TDN.
