Chuck is very approachable. I have met him and he signed my book "Three Dog Nightmare". He also has a Facebook page.

three dog night used to come and perform at the Tulsa State Fair ... I went just to see them and something to eat! Then they did an appearance at one of our 1,000 Indian Casino's last year 2010! Pretty good ... i wondered if they would do It's For You with only 2 of the original singers.No! but they played it as we walked out and it was the best song of the night! With the big speakers and jacked up it sounded live!
DID I see Three Dog Night at Dallas City Hall free concert one night?... I really dont remember They say memory is the second thing to go, I cant remember what the first thing was....YES I DID!!!
@skydogging He and his wife spent their later years here in Montana. At that time pot was illegal but his wife used to get him some to help with some of the discomfort after he had his stroke. I think the case was dismissed because his health was so bad......just an aside....but it helped me remember that he lived here.
Great song but you used the wrong album cover. 'Never been to Spain' is from 3DN's 'Harmony' album, not 'Cyan'. Anyway, this great lost classic is hardly ever played on mainstream FM stations these days and, if one doesn't own this record or have access to YouTube uploads, (s)he would have to subscribe to a satellite or cable music service such as Sirius, XM. or Music Choice to hear this and other great lost classics on the airwaves today.
seeing chuck, cory, danny h, danny g, joe, floyd and michael had such an impact on my life. my uncle took me to see them in the cottonbowl with bw stevenson opening, rod stewart (still with faces) and then three dog night headlighting it all. it made such an impact on my life. sorry about the showing off of knowing their names, but it was all from memories. Never Been to Spain, by the way, came off the album "Harmony", not Cyan. Three dog night, thanks for the memories.
@Suuperman5461 I realize that I used the image cover from the LP Cyan. I used this pic because I just like the image itself of the whole group instead of centering around Chuck, Cory and Danny. Thanks for taling the time to listen.
One of the great songs by the GREAT Three Dog Night! I have the "Harmony" LP on CD, as well as the "Celebrate: 1965-1975" double-CD, on which you'll find this song on both of the above-mentioned titles.
"Never Been To Spain" was written by the late, GREAT Hoyt Axton!
Anybody interested in learning how this group got their name? I am not a big music fan, but I craved this group. I learned this from Casey Kasim (spelling) show many, many years ago. It has to do with Australia.
@VrgniaMailman The official commentary in Celebrate:The Three Dog Night Story, 1965-1975 states that vocalist Danny Hutton's then-girlfriend June Fairchild suggested the name after reading a magazine article about indigenous Australians, in which it was explained that on cold nights they would customarily sleep in a hole in the ground whilst embracing a dingo, a native species of wild dog. On colder nights they would sleep with two dogs and if the night was freezing, it was a "three dog night".
@MoonlightRaider You got it, Moonlight Raider!! Very good! A blue star for you. I live in Southwest Virginia, and nearly the entire month of December was so unusually cold here that just about every night was a "Three Dog Night."
every 60s-70s song has comments, that include Justin Bieber. Seriously, people, wtf? 1. Simply enjoy THIS music (which is too good to be interrupted by thoughts of Bieber or other). 2. Remember - the ones that talk about him, make him famous. peace, wonderful song
TDN had 21 top 40 hits. Cory sung lead on 8 of those hits, Chuck sung lead
on 7 of them, Danny sung lead on 2 hits and 4 hits were sung or lead by all 3 members! They had 3 number 1 hits Mama Told Not To Come (Cory), Black & White (Danny) and Joy To The World(Chuck)! Ironic! These men were made to be together! Hopefully they can work things out and give us one last THREE DOG NIGHT night!
I met the band at Pensacola Springfest in the 90's. It was my job to stock their trailer with food and booze. They were all great guys and invited me to have a beer with them. All except Cory. He was a prick and asked what I was doing there. I think of that everytime I hear a TDN song. lol
Wow this brings back memories ! I remember listening to this song when i was growing up back in the seventies. Three Dog Night, were awesome ! Why can't artists make music like this anymore ? Thanks for the upload. And great audio sound on this. I've listed this upload on my favorites Utube Link.
Read Chuck's book. He was totally dissed by the rest of them. And they wanted nothing to do with him until he showed them he could make it on his own. Chuck is a great man.
From what I understand Chuck feels he had some great years and times with TDN but just doesn't want to go back with them for personal reasons. He did actually e-mail me this information a while back.
@tjerwin1 hi tjerwin1 i am 50 now and my fav.band as a kid wasTDN could i get Chuck's e-mail add. i would be honored to him a line.thanks Fusionaire902@aol.com
Oh this is so good. I had never heard this version before. I have only known the Elvis Presley version which is awesome too as he really digs into it. Now I have to listen to their other work!
Music that lives on forever!! You were the band who made me fall in love with the remarkable escape and trip of a song......thank you for my hours roller skating and listening to ALL OF YOUR SONGS!! When I was 8 or 9-I fell inlove w/u all at a very young age ..... ;)
This is such a great song!!! I've always loved it. So smooth and easy flowing. Yeah, Three Dog Night was an awesome band in the 70's. I loved their music! It rocked!!!
I'm not exactly sure about the year, but this song was actually written by a country singer/ songwriter named Hoyt Axton. I want to say between '71 and '75. TDN covered this song and so did Waylon Jennings ans Elvis Presely.
In the early to mid 70's TDN was like an assembly line of hits. They wrote few of their own songs so they didn't fall into the trap of sounding the same on all their songs. Their harmonies were so close it sometimes sounded as if they could do each others parts. I've seen them in concert twice and they still sound good even tho the band has undergone some changes.
You must have a very good pharmacist, because you are on some heavy shit!! Go listen to some more Hanson, or Miley, or the Jonas (cover) Brothers, and leave the true classics alone!! I bet your favorite thing to do is MM-bop, and probably with your right hand...
Hahahaha you're funny man! you crack me up! I really love classics and I DO NOT like the jonas brothers neither Miley "sth". But I do have one obsession and that is Hanson, if you didn't like the cover just don't listen to it and everyone will be ok! it's not the end of the world :)
haha i know, i love oklahoma only when i hear this song. the don white band did this song every single show they ever did, and my dad was the drummer for about 10 years.
Hands down one of the absolute greatest bands of all time. We need more like them.
