Three Dog Night

Iconic American band, THREE DOG NIGHT, now celebrating its 6th decade, boasts some of the most astonishing chart statistics in popular music with 21 consecutive Billboard Top 40 hits, including 3 #1 singles and 12 straight RIAA Certified Gold LPs.

Created in 1968 by Irish-born Danny Hutton, the group was conceived to feature three strong vocalists who shared leads and also blended together in exquisite three-part harmony, complemented by four ace instrumentalists, creating a self-contained unit. This ultimately became Three Dog Night’s signature sound in the studio and live on the road.


Working with the studio duo of Richie Podolor and Bill Cooper at American Recording, they resurrected and recreated songs of the best and mostly undiscovered new songwriters of that time including Harry Nilsson, Randy Newman, Elton John, Laura Nyro, Paul Williams and Hoyt Axton among many others. The band’s eclectic taste and arranging talents, combined with the ability to recognize and record hits in a distinctive style, resulted in Three Dog Night dominating the charts for years, earning a Grammy nomination, performing at two Super Bowls and pervading American culture with its music ubiquitous on the radio and in film and television.


From their debut eponymous album, Three Dog Night went on to release 12 gold albums and by 1975, driven by chart-topping songs like “One,” “Easy to be Hard,” “Mama Told Me (Not to Come),” “Joy to the World,” “Black and White,” “Shambala” and others, the band had sold over 50 million records.

This year, Three Dog Night will release Enter its first studio album in nearly 40 years. Again working with Bill Cooper from the original production team, Hutton and the band present a body of eclectic material.
