    For Three Dog Night, the success with all the covers owes to two factors: First, the versatility of three very talented lead singers and, Second, a very solid group of musicians in the backing band. The three singers let them adopt a very wide range of vocal styles which meant they could cover almost any song.

      Spot on, but I'd add a third ingredient: The band, which chose the songs to cover themselves (the songs weren't foisted upon them by a manager or producer), had excellent taste in material and a real knack for finding songs that had been more or less overlooked in their earlier incarnations. As Danny Hutton, the band's founder and co-vocalist, used to say, "We don't cover songs ... we resurrect them."

      It always amazes me how a band could see a diamond in the rough such as Harry Nilsson's "One" and make it shine. His original is pretty unremarkable to me. Then Three Dog Night got a hold of it and the magic happened. Then Nilsson covered an unremarkable tune "Without You" and made THAT his signature performance.

    Joy to the World is their most popular hit, and some might say it's over played, but if you haven't heard it, it's time. Let me tell you what kind of song it is: On a long road trip with my wife and two (adult) daughters, Joy to the World came up on the playlist and without any kind of precommunication amongst us, all four of us spontaneously burst into full-voiced song right along with the band ... all the way to the end. It was damn fun.

      @bradparnell614 Před 2 lety +2

      I don't even know if the term 'cover band' even existed then. This was still in the days of the studio system where the record companies matched "the talent" (being a band or solo artist) with a stable of songwriters and session musicians to come up with a recording. Many songs were given to multiple artists to record around the same time period. The Kingsmen and Paul Revere and the Raiders both recorded "Louie Louie" in the same studio in April of 1963. I wouldn't consider either a cover at all. The next year though, after the Kingsmen version became a hit, you had Otis Redding, The Beach Boys, and the Kinks all do versions and those I would consider covers.

    Shambala was released almost simultaneously by B.W. Stevenson, so it wasn't a cover. "One" is their greatest song IMHO. For a "wow" effect "It's For You" is an almost all acapella number written by Paul McCartney that they do with stunning effect.

    Love Three Dog Night, 3 lead vocalist with killer harmony's & a great band backing them up. So many great songs you could check out.
    Liar (the album version), Out in the Country, Eli's Coming, Try a little Tenderness ( should check out Otis Redding's version to), Nobody, Celebrate, One Man Band, Old Fashion Love Song, One, Never Been To Spain & it actually goes on & on. Hard to believe they've never inducted in the hall of Fame, I don't think they were even ever nominated, when they had hit after hit, it's a shame. But we still have their great music.

    Also, late 70's punk/rock from Ireland's The Undertones and the song Teenage Kicks. You haven't hit this group yet, but they were pretty popular back in the day.
