This is a plug for my pal Radio Dave's live, weekly FM radio program called Liner Notes coming up next week. You may have heard me guest host with Dave back in September. You've read here before about Dave's cool rock and roll radio program. It's on WSLR, LPFM 96.5, out of Sarasota, FL. It's an LPFM station - that stands for low power, not long playing, as in LP. I listen to Dave's show on my computer with a free radio tuner program like Winamp, http://www.winamp.com/ This coming Wednesday, Oct. 27th - listen in as Radio Dave features Three Dog Night. He will play lots of their hits of course, but he will also tell us the back story about the band and their songs - stuff you just can hear anywhere else. http://wslr.org/listen-live/ I am on a personal crusade to get TDR into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. They were unabashed song coverers, but so what? Their website claims that from "1969-1974, nobody had more Top 10 hits, moved more records, or sold more concert tickets." During this period, Three Dog Night was undoubtedly the most popular band in America with twenty-one consecutive Top 40 hits and twelve straight gold LPs. By late '75, they had sold nearly 50 million records." Any questions???
I agree Curtis Three Dog Night deserve the rock and roll Hall of fame. Madonna? UHHHH she's in it. Those guys could sing and for 5 years they belted hits that sound great....look at the songwriters they did songs of Randy Newman- Mama Told me not to come, Laura Nyro Eli's Coming. They were a great band with fantastic singers so " Joy to the World all the boys and girls" jerimah was a bull frog ok I second that emotion Rock and Roll hall of fame JB and Harry Nillson who I believe wrote the song they sang so well " One"
