Legendary
music icons, THREE DOG NIGHT, celebrate their 4th decade bringing with
them some of the most astonishing statistics in popular music. In the
years 1969 through 1974, no other group achieved more top 10 hits, moved
more records or sold more concert tickets than THREE DOG NIGHT. THREE
DOG NIGHT's hits wind through the fabric of pop culture today, whether
on the radio where they are heard day in and day out, in TV commercials
or in major motion pictures - songs like "Mama Told Me (Not To Come)",
"Joy to the World", "Black and White", "Shambala" and "One" serve to
heighten our emotions and crystallize THREE DOG NIGHT's continuing
popularity. This Grammy-nominated band is not content resting on their
legacy alone. Always working to expand their audience, THREE DOG NIGHT
have embraced and been embraced by 21st century music technology. New
fans buy THREE DOG NIGHT's music on iTunes as well as at record stores.
In fact, their releases from this decade alone have sold well over a
million and a half albums and the band's continued popularity has landed
"The Best of Three Dog Night : 20th Century Masters" on the Billboard
Top 200 Album Chart for 9 of the last 12 months. Recently, THREE DOG
NIGHT began adding new songs to their arsenal by releasing their first
double-A sided single in nearly 25 years. The blistering performance of
"Heart Of Blues" and the timely, beautiful a-cappella ballad "Prayer of
the Children" are available online at iTunes, Amazon.com and other
digital retailers as well as through the official band website
(www.threedognight.com), and their Facebook and MySpace sites. THREE DOG
NIGHT also pushed boundaries by recording with the London Symphony
Orchestra, giving fans new and old a chance to experience their dynamic
performances of the hits as well as two new songs. The project, recorded
at the famous Abbey Road studios in London and released to coincide
with the band's 35th Anniversary, added exciting new orchestral
arrangements to THREE DOG NIGHT's signature sound. THREE DOG NIGHT
maintain an aggressive, year-round touring schedule of over 80 dates a
year. Their well-loved hits, delivered in their unmistakable style, are
performed for audiences spanning generations, by founding members Cory
Wells and Danny Hutton on lead vocals, as well as original keyboardist
Jimmy Greenspoon and guitarist Michael Allsup. Paul Kingery (bass and
vocals) and Pat Bautz (drums) complete the lineup. Originally brought
together in 1968 by Danny Hutton and Cory Wells, the group was
enormously successful from the start. Hutton, who had graduated from
loading and unloading records at the Disney studio to recording as a
solo artist, met Cory Wells while he was touring with Sonny and Cher.
The now-famous name came from a story about Australian aborigines who,
on cold nights in the outback, sleep with their dogs for warmth. The
coldest evenings are known as "three dog nights". Boasting chart and
sales records that are virtually unmatched in popular music, THREE DOG
NIGHT had 21 consecutive Top 40 hits, including 3 #1 singles, 11 Top
10's, 18 straight Top 20's, 7 million-selling singles and 12 straight
RIAA Certified Gold LPs. Their hits appeared on best selling charts in
all genres (pop, rock and country). Their records continue to sell
around the world, reaching beyond the borders of the U.S. into Japan,
Canada, Holland, England, Germany, Spain and elsewhere. Tens of millions
of THREE DOG NIGHT records have been sold through the years. THREE DOG
NIGHT recorded the music of the best (and mostly undiscovered) new
songwriters of their time including Harry Nilsson, Randy Newman, Elton
John, Laura Nyro, Paul Williams and Hoyt Axton among many others. The
group's eclectic taste, combined with their ability to recognize and
record hits in a unique, distinctive and appealing style, resulted in
THREE DOG NIGHT dominating best-selling charts for years. The band
toured extensively in the late '60's and into the 70's, but in 1975, the
non-stop concerts and hit-making took its toll. According to Cory
Wells, "we just quietly backed out of the picture". Their desire to "get
away" from the hectic world of pop music was relatively short- lived
however, and by 1981 they discovered that they wanted to perform again.
"The old magic was still there", noted Danny. Audiences agree. Now, as
they mark more than 40 years on the road, THREE DOG NIGHT continue to
grow their fan base and develop new ways of doing business. In 2012 they
are pursuing an extensive schedule of concerts at theatres, performing
arts centers, fairs, festivals, corporate events, and casinos. Since
1986, they have performed over 2,200 shows including two Super Bowls.
