Does anyone remember this tune being in the movie "Go Ask Alice." I think it's playing on the radio while Alice is just hangin' out in her room. Or am I crazy? Either way it's the best harmony rock tune Ever !!
Three dog night was supposed to have gotten their name from an old story about Indiginous Australians who were forced to sleep with a dog to keep themselves warm....this group had three...do the math. lol
I love this song! I like how you did the video,like how when the image changes,it zooms out in a heart! Although,you do need a better variety of pictures but,who cares! Haha! It's still a wonderful song & video!
this is that rare version i never hear with that weird part towards the end. By the way, the song was written by Paul williams, who also wrote the love boat theme song
"An Old Fashioned Love Song" is the title of a 1971 song by the American pop-rock band Three Dog Night. Taken as the lead single from their 1971 album Harmony, the song peaked at #4 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in December 1971, becoming the band's seventh Top 10 hit.
@CHRISEVENS record companies wanting to save money so they rather go for stars that "looked" like stars and paid less attention to lyrical content. Companies want hit songs not albums like back in the day. Zeppelin made their records album based and not for hit songs. I don't know if that make sense to you. In other words, artist crafted their album accordingly without a rush to put something out. Artist also had time to gel with each other so they would be in unison.
@CHRISEVENS because singers and entertainers (can't call them artists) are lazy and it is so rare and refreshing to hear such good music that we have to go back to old school for something this beautiful.
@CHRISEVENS They've become increasingly rare due to all that easy money from the unappreciative tone deaf audiences being handed over to the auto-tuned (c) rap artists.
Same thing that happened to every thing else that was pure and decent in this country. Fucking corporations own it all, and the next brain-dead generation of zombie consumers, buy it all - hook, line, and sinker.
Thanks for posting, when I was about 12, we used to visit my aunt in Dayton Ohio. My cousin who was older had this album, along with a really cool beer can collection. I thought he was so cool, and I loved Three Dog Night!!!
Used to sing this song by request of the same woman bartender during my karaoke days..Host friend and I would arrive to set up, and she'd hit me up. "Do Old Fashion' Love Song for me!". Always did, too.
Late 60's early 70's music must have really helped the soldiers during the turbulent times in vietnam or at least something to keep the mind at ease even just for a bit?
When I was your age back in the very early 70s, I would hear this song all the time on AM radio in New York City on WABC 77 I thought they were saying "just an Old fashioned LODE STONE" LOL, what did I know??
@tutu148368 According to MY profile, or someone else's? I don't recall putting an age in my profie (or even having one, to be honest).. Trust me, I am above 24.
This is one of the best songs that 3DN ever did. What a shame that the video is the same 4 or 5 pictures played over and over. 3DN and YouTube viewers deserve better than this.
Paul Williams wrote this and Chuck Negron sings it. Chuck has a solo act now and his stepson Berry Oakley sings harmony along with the band. Danny and Cory still do this song; it's not one of the hard songs Chuck did. Michael Allsup (guitar) and Jimmy Greenspoon (organ) still play with them. They are the ones you hear playing here.
This song was preformed by TDN on TV before the record came out.
Just an old-fashioned love song playin' on the radio And wrapped around the music is the sound Of someone promising they'll never go You swear you've heard it before As it slowly rambles on No need in bringin' `em back, `Cause they're never really gone Just an old-fashioned love song One I'm sure they wrote for you and me Just an old-fashioned love song Comin' down in 3-part harmony
I was a sophomore in college in KC and WHB 710 am used to play this with their Top 40 hits. I had to buy the album and thats all that was on the turntable for a month.
It's the weirdest thing. Alot of songs did this in the 70s. I'm not sure why, but I do know that it confused the hell out of DJs when each song came out. They'd start talking, then the music would come back on.
Somewhere in the world it is a three-dog night, but the three-point harmony is in question.
