Three Dog Night

Nobody had more radio airplay, or sold more records and concert tickets in the ‘70s than Three Dog Night. They were responsible for 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 founding members Danny Hutton and Cory Wells and an excellent ear for quality material. “One” became the band’s first Top Ten hit in 1969, while “Mama Told Me (Not to Come)” hit number one a year later. “Joy to the World” became the group’s biggest hit in 1971, spending six weeks on top of the pop charts, and their streak continued with their final number one, 1972’s “Black and White” and their final Top Ten, 1974’s “The Show Must Go On.”
