Three Dog Night ran off a string of 21 Top 40 hits between 1968 and 1975, including three number ones: "Joy to the World," "Mama Told Me (Not to Come)," and "Black & White." Despite this, they are often written off as a lightweight band who couldn't write their own songs. Granted they were laid-back and very easygoing, but they had some heft. The ...
20 Greatest Hits does indeed offer most of Three Dog Night's definitive songs, including classics like "One," "Easy to Be Hard," "Mama Told Me Not to Come," and "Joy to the World." Though there's not much to differentiate this British compilation from domestic anthologies like The Best of Three Dog Night, 20 Greatest Hits is a solid overview of ...
Since there was a Pure Funk and Pure Disco, it makes sense that a Pure '70s would follow. It couldn't be called "Pure Rock," since a lot of this simply doesn't rock at all -- "American Pie," anyone? However, all 20 songs on this collection (mostly culled from the Polygram vaults) reek of the '70s, and that's why this is a fun listen. Yes, it's ...
Motown scored big with this album, which contains ten 60s hits, from Marvin Gaye's "I Heard It through the Grapevine" to Procol Harum's "A Whiter Shade of Pale," just the sort of thing the yuppie thirtysomethings in the movie loved, and music rediscovered by the audience that saw the film. ~ William Ruhlmann, All Music Guide
All of Three Dog Night's staples are included on The Millennium Collection: The Best of Three Dog Night, including "Joy to the World," "One," "Mama Told Me Not to Come," "Eli's Coming," "Easy to Be Hard," and "An Old Fashioned Love Song." A compact and entertaining compilation of the group's biggest singles. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
Time-Life Music's Sounds of the Seventies: Super '70s includes some of the decade's biggest hits: "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown" by Jim Croce, "Heart of Glass" by Blondie, "Let's Stay Together" by Al Green, "Go All the Way" by the Raspberries, "My Sharona" by the Knack, "Proud Mary" by Ike & Tina Turner and "Lonesome Loser" by the Little River Band. These ...
The release of Harmony in the fall of 1971 gave Three Dog Night their seventh gold record in less than three years, yielding two Top Ten singles with Paul William's "Old Fashioned Love Song" (number four) and Hoyt Axton's "Never Been to Spain" (number five). In addition, William's "Family of Man" would just fail to crack the top of the charts, ...
Three Dog Night kept up its reputation for putting other artists' songs on the charts with Naturally, one of the group's finest offerings. With Hutton, Wells, and Negron sounding amazingly tight and fluid, they took their soft rock dynamics and mixed them with an abundance of hooks and harmonies to produce three Top 20 singles, eventually earning ...
Kicking off with the infectious single "Black and White," Seven Separate Fools appears to be another winner for Three Dog Night, a group who had been blessed with an uninterrupted string of six hit albums. And album number seven did indeed turn into a blockbuster, largely because of that irresistible single, but in retrospect it could be seen as ...
Weighing it at a generous 20 tracks, The Best of Three Dog Night may be a little much for some casual listeners, yet it's unquestionably the definitive collection, featuring all of their hits, plus a nice selection of album tracks. There isn't anything major missing, and while some of the non-singles material isn't particularly strong, there are ...
It's taken close to 20 years into the CD era to get decent remasterings of Three Dog Night's catalog, and it says something about Universal Music, which owns that catalog, that none of the upgrades have come from them -- rather, Gottdiscs and now Edsel have brought these improved versions to the public. From a vantage point 30 years after their ...
This 21-track compilation is both foolproof and utterly predictable. There are certain songs that seem to turn up over and over on compilations (they must be available for licensing cheap), songs like KC & the Sunshine Band's "That's the Way I Like It," Pilot's "Magic," Rod Stewart's "Maggie May," Looking Glass' "Brandy," and the Hollies' "Long ...
Released shortly before their run of hit singles came to a close, 1975's Joy to the World provides a convenient greatest hits package for the casual Three Dog Night fan. It serves as a collection of hit singles rather than a historical overview of the band, and, to that end, it covers most of the necessary ground. There are some glaring omissions ...
One of the better compilations of Three Dog Night material, Celebrate covers all the important bases in the popular singles band's career. There's a brief hint of pre-3DN material from co-lead singers Danny Hutton and Cory Wells (no Chuck Negron), along with one stellar, tragically unreleased track from the band's brief Redwood incarnation, the ...
The Best of 70's Supergroups is a thoroughly entertaining 14-track collection that contains a wealth of album-rock and hard rock hits, including such radio staples as "More Than A Feeling," "Evil Woman, " "Come Sail Away, " "Taking Care of Business, " "American Woman, " "Black Magic Woman, " "Green-Eyed Lady, " "Sweet Home Alabama" and "We're an ...
Like most of the decade-based installments in Casey Kasem's America's Top 10 series, this set has its hands full with the genre-flooded charts of 1970s pop. But while most retrospectives would include just a few hits surrounded by hit-or-miss filler, Top 10 is crammed with well-known radio favorites, and offers a nice cross-section of the decade's ...
The "millennium" in Rhino's Millennium Classic Rock Party collection really is just a way to tart up a basic collection of familiar album rock songs. Nothing about this disc says anything about the millennium -- it just summarizes the '70s. On that level, it's really quite good, since it contains 20 tracks that have come to define classic rock ...
2005 and 2006 are going to be remembered as a golden era for fans of Three Dog Night -- oh, not based on the then-current version of the group featuring Danny Hutton and Cory Wells (although they probably deserve credit for endurance if nothing else). Rather, it's the crop of audiophile-quality reissues of their original albums on the Gottdisc and ...
35th Anniversary Hits Collection is a pleasant set that combines Three Dog Night (with original vocalists Danny Hutton and Cory Wells, sans Chuck Negron) and the London Symphony Orchestra. The fusion of Three Dog Night's patented blue-eyed soul vocals with lush arrangements provides a glimpse of the direction they could have pursued had they not ...
Jukebox Hits of 1969, Vol. 1 collects some of the year's most memorable pop and rock hits, including the Archies' "Sugar Sugar," Steam's "Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye," Three Dog Night's "One," Canned Heat's "Going up the Country," and Motherlode's "When I Die." Songs by Frankie Laine, Tommy Roe, the Grass Roots, and Mama Cass complete this ...
This edition of Billboard Top Rock & Roll Hits chronicles 1971, a year that included everything from moody funk to happy-go-lucky pap. While Sly & the Family Stone's "Family Affair" sounds like pure groove submerged in cool water and contains the classic line "Blood's thicker than the mud," it's sequenced immediately next to the Milquetoast R&B of ...
The last studio album from Three Dog Night to crack the Top 20, Hard Labor shows the growing cracks in the band's armor. Where on previous albums they had selected songs that highlighted their harmonic prowess, most of the tracks on Hard Labor are essentially solo efforts with group backing vocals. As a result, the band loses much of their soul ...
