127- The THREE DOG NIGHT Rock Band.....

From 1969 to 1974, they sold more records, sold more concert tickets and earned more Top 10 hits than any other group!
In 2000 they were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame, with 13 Gold Albums...21 Billboard Top 40 Hits...7 Gold.
And their name? No matter what you read, the name "Three Dog Night" is an Aboriginie term from long ago. The native Australians were nomadic and wandered the outback. They tamed the Dingo for centuries and, at night, often dug a hole to sleep in for the cold desert nights.
If the cold night was a "one dog night?..."two dog night?" But, if the night in the Australian desert was frigid, three dogs were "invited" into the hole with them!
Now you know...by the way, the guys are still going out on the road, singing!
Being a true music lover, I've tried to experience in person many groups and plays and individuals in person over the years. The Beatles!...The Dave Clark Five!...Dave Brubeck Quartet!...Johnny Mathis!...Three Dog Night! Are the Rolling Stones still out and about?
Remember: "One"..."Eli's Coming"..."Celebrate"..."Mama Told Me Not to Come"..."Joy to the World"..."Liar"..."Never Been to Spain"..."Shambala"..."The Family of Man"..."An Old-Fashioned Love Song"..."The Family of Man"..."Black and White"... NOW, do you remember?
Hey, would you believe that MANY teens, now, know and can sing songs like this along with you?
