Thank you Jamel! In memory of: Cory Wells February 5, 1941 - October 20, 2015 (age 74). They say he wasn't ever into drugs and just was a good all around guy! Thanks Cory!
Is he the vocalist in this song? I can’t remember all those years ago. My late husband used to play this song and a few others by Three Dog Night. He took me to see them live in 1970, two days before I delivered our only child, a daughter. Nice memories. Annie in TN 💕
I knew Cory he didn't drink nor did he do drugs never in his whole life, he was a wonderful friend so very missed and he was a beautiful man! He is still loved and will always be missed!
My great uncle Buford Jones is a world famous sounds engineer who has mixed for a lot of the greats in classic rock but three dog night was the first band he started mixing for in 1970
There was a lot of groups back then both black & white who the music industry didn’t want to show their faces because of how they sounded. What most of us forget is that most of this soul music came from black people who never got the credit they deserved for writing such amazing songs. When you look into the back grounds of these groups they all came from a place that heard songs originally sang in Juke Joints like Jerry Lee Lewis. I’m so glad times changed & now people don’t have to hide I just wish that the people who sang songs originally are given the credit that’s properly deserved & earned.
Jamel, I am so happy that you appreciate the amazing talent of the great Cory Wells! There was no one that could hold a candle to him. He had soul, plain and simple, and a really great guy! Thanks, Jamel!
Suddenly I just now burst into tears, remembering my late husband taking me to see this guy singing his heart out. It was two days before giving birth to our only child, a daughter in 1970. The tears? Well he’s gone now after being soulmates for 50+ years, my daughter just tested positive for Covid19 and I can’t go to her, being very disabled. But it will all be ok, with time. Goddam!! What an incredible performance! Annie in TN 💕
Cory Wells had two strong things going for him here. First, his incredible voice. You really need to be a good vocalist to pull off a song like this, otherwise it's just a pose. Secondly, he had that marvelous, on point technically fierce band behind him.
You've heard of guys standing on a street corner with a trash can fire harmonizing late into the wee hours. Thats how Corey Wells trained his beautiful voice.
Cory Wells, one of the great voices of 70's rock music. Many of the hits that Three Dog Night had, were hand picked by Cory Wells, he just had an ear of music, he is missed today for sure.
No one will Ever sing this song like Corey Wells! Please watch all versions of him singing this. Corey Wells is forever the finest. For that matter, no one will ever sing or put on a performance like my Corey. I miss him so badly😰
Jamel, this was a great version! Cory Wells had an incredible soulful voice, the boy ate his cornbread. I first saw this band live in '73 with my bestie, then last year, we saw them again, unfortunately without Cory, but still fantastic, what a show. We were 14 the first time, now 62 and still groovin' better than most.
I loved all three voices but Cory's was my favorite. That husky bluesiness, oh my. Rest in peace, Cory baby💙 Now please listen to the silkiness of Chuck's voice on "Easy To Be Hard", "One" & "Cowboy". Beautiful!💙 And you'd love Danny singing "Black & White".💙 Oh, and "Liar" & "Celebrate"!!!💙 And "Brickyard Blues"! Cory again.💙
The definitive live version of this song is from the 1975 Soundstage program. Corey is so good - the other dogs gave him the stage. You can watch the whole program, or search individual songs.
He felt that right down to his feet!! I love the reaction of the rest of the band....they knew it was a special performance.... and they knew how lucky they were to be in that moment!
I can't believe it took all 37-years of my life to discover this outstandingly badass masterpiece of a song! Hell yeah! Oh hell.. HELL YEAH, BABY! Thank you so much, Jamel, for posting this highly entertaining video!
I stood practically below Otis’ feet up front at the Monterey Pop Festival. Got to see him kill this one!!!. You might as well show that famous performance- he was backed up by Booker T and the MG’s! He also killed on “ Satisfaction”! It’s on YT!!
Otis is my favourite singer and I love to hear him sing that song. I never expected to enjoy anyone else's cover, but that was surprisingly awesome! Way to go Three Dog Night!!!
What a voice Cory Wells had. He could sing anything. And put a lot of soul in it. From Buffalo, NY, of all places -- who'd have thought? Thanks for posting this!
Gotta love that Hammond organ sound!! Makes me remember the awesome soundtrack from the movie THE COMMITMENTS - Now that's DEFINITELY worth checking out!!!
We're all entitled to our opinions, but Jon Lord was classically trained and played things on the Hammond that Gregg never even dreamed of. Pardon the pun.
I love every version of this song, but Three Dog Night's is my favorite. But the best performance they did of it was LIVE AT THE FORUM...much more funk! I think only the audio is available on RUclips.
I remember I was 18 when they were all over the radio and I had the biggest crush on Cory. I think I went to two of there concerts here in Kansas City, MO. They were great. I was sorry to hear that he passed away.
Yes, there is a live version of this on RUclips from later on in their career. This one was great, but the later version will truly leave you in awe...
I was fortunate to have caught Three Dog Night live 3 times in the space of a couple of months when they reformed for a brief period in the early 1980s and went out to play small venues. It was in northeast Ohio at both the Akron Agora and the Cleveland Agora. They really sounded fantastic and played all their hits - this despite singer Chuck Negron's continuing descent into an extremely harrowing years-long battle with heroin addiction that probably none of us knew about at the time. Then at around 3/4 of the way through their set, Cory Wells did this song, and it was the hands-down show-stopper EVERY TIME. He had us all up on our feet as he did his maniacal "HOLD HER, SQUEEZE HER, NEVER LEAVE HER, YOU GOT TA, YOU GOT TA, YOU GOT TA TRY, TRY, TRY, ...." jumping up and down like a soulful madman while Mike Alsup delivered his superbly tasteful lead electric guitar lines. They must have played this for at least 8 minutes every time. We went WILD!
Wow, could Cory sing! Thanks for playing this one, I discovered this remake a couple of years ago by Three Dog Night and truly appreciated it, wow, did Cory have soul, listen to that voice & his moves! He was a kid when he sang this song, unfortunately, he died in 2015.
@Susan L I just made a comment that I loved all 3 voices but Cory was my favorite..that husky bluesiness. And I always felt like his personality shone through. Don't know how right I am but I always felt that. I've loved their music since I was a teen in 1969. Saw them in concert twice. To me, your dear brother was always a stand-out. He sparkled. He still does.💙 Much love to you from a lifelong fan in Kentucky.💙
@@deborahcornell171 , Thank you. He was great entertainer and brother. He was my closest sibling and I miss him everyday. At least I am able to see and hear him via these videos.
Finally got to see them after after 25 yrs at a south carolina fair. It was up close and so personal and Corey still had it and that was 2008. I love them so much. ♥️⭕️❌
This was the right version of Try A Little Tenderness for me! Oh, to be back in the early 70s again listening to this group...talk about some good ol memories!
Had never heard this song before. But after you did a reaction to it? AMAZING! Cory is awesome. I've listened to it over and over. What a performance. Cory past away not to many years ago. R I P
Never knew they did this- I adore me some Otis Redding, but I gotta give it up 4 this version!!* Thankyou, Jamel!!* You really keep me going during these crazy times...
I love three dog night. One day i had the vinyl on our only stereo which mom hated me using. But she walked in and stopped, listened and told me this was a song from her youth.
There are recordings of this song as far back as the REAL vocal original by Bing Crosby in 1933, and by everyone from Ruth Etting, Frank Sinatra, and Little Miss Cornshucks, to The Platters, Frankie Avalon, Aretha Franklin, Tennessee Ernie Ford, Otis Redding, Ella Fitzgerald, and on and on, As recent as a performance by Chang Po Ching on 'The Voice' in 2018.
I just went to go listen to that to see if I knew it and in the lyrics he said "Brain Salad Surgery" O_O I was literally going to suggest ELP for a reaction video
I cant say I really like song remakes for the most part, but I have to admit this was pretty awesome. I still live Otis, but I'm impressed. I never heard this version before and my Aunt absolutely loved Three Dog Night.
Always loved 3dognight, particularly this song....paying homage to the late great Otis Redding! No one did better than Otis, especially live, but, this guy here came close! And uou know he must've seen Otis perform this someplace bc he did his moves PERFECTLY, I mean, wow! You should pay homage to Otis by reacting to his ORIGINAL version or maybe do "I'VE BEEN LOVING YOU TOO LONG"! Love your reactions...I find myself laughing out of no where, not at you, but with you. Keep on keeping on, brother!♡
Cory Wells was the best! You need to listen to him sing this same song on their Live at the Forum recording. You think he gets down in this one? Whoa.......He feels it even more on the live version.
The movie The Commitments has a killer version of this song, with the lead by a 16-year-old Andrew Strong who you would swear had decades of experience.
Jamel You Never Fail To Bring A Smile To My Face I Love The Memories It Brings Me It Takes Me Back To When My Older Brothers Were Still Alive Music Is Great For The Soul Growing Up In My Mothers House We Always Had Music My Mother Listened To Country ,Blues, The 5 Of Us Kids Listened To Motown, Rock Jazz Blues We Were Poor My Mother Raised Us In The Ghetto of Chicago And Worked 2 and 3 Jobs As A Single Parent But We Were Rich With The Love My Mother Showed And Taught Us She Always Said Children Dont See Color The Ignorance Of Hate And Racism Is Taught We Always Had Friends Of Every Color And IWe Are Grateful That We Didnt Miss Out On The Love We Gave And Received We Are All God's Children Thank You So Much For Helping Me Get Through Some Sad And Depressing Times From Family Health Crisis And The Saddness Our World Us Going Through With All The Nonsense Lifes Too Short ,Keep Doing What You're Doing God Bless You And Your Family May The Lord Keep You And Your Family Safe And Well
LOVE all the Three Dog Night you’re doing, and this cover is one of my favorites. You really have to watch them live, 1975, on Sound Stage singing “One.” Chuck Negron’s vocals and falsetto are awesome!
1975 Cory was so cute when he said, “Gotta dance here.” 😂 But if had to pick- it’d be 3dognight: 1972 this one below and the “Jam” being the best: ruclips.net/video/6TmucgHkgbU/видео.html Here’s the ultimate: ruclips.net/video/0aAlOysB8z4/видео.html
TDN sang "You can leave your hat on" before Joe Cocker. In fact, Randy Newman wrote it for TDN. Joe made it popular.. Cory had some soul, I love his version
Great reaction to a great singer.....It is very difficult at best to follow Otis Redding and replicate any level of soul......Cory is one of the few that grasped what Otis truly did.......Thanks for not interrupting the video 10 times like most!! Dr G
"Try a Little Tenderness" is a song written by Jimmy Campbell, Reg Connelly, and Harry M. Woods. It was first recorded on December 8, 1932, by the Ray Noble Orchestra (with vocals by Val Rosing).
If you liked this, you need to check out Wilson Pickett’s version of The Beatles Hey Jude. Features Duane Allman on guitar. Same soulful feel. Totally different than the original.
Развлечения
It has to be said: Corey did a hands down, undisputed, full-on RIGHTEOUS cover of "Try A Little Tenderness".
Blue eyed soul
RIP Corey
Al Rivers: “soul” has no color. Cory Wells “qualified” to sing like that, because he had “soul” within him. He is not imitating, he’s representing!
@@zuazhar1630 well said!
The best just sayin
SING IT COREY!!!!! Man he sang his heart out!!! He never disappoints on any of his songs. RIP sir. You did your thing very well.
Thank you Jamel! In memory of: Cory Wells February 5, 1941 - October 20, 2015 (age 74). They say he wasn't ever into drugs and just was a good all around guy! Thanks Cory!

Thats so true..sigh, he passed on my birthday..."Mr. voice" ill never forget.
Leigh Garrett May He Rest In Peace!
He was so gifted and handsome!
Rest in peace Otis and Corey. 💕
My great uncle Buford Jones is a world famous sounds engineer who has mixed for a lot of the greats in classic rock but three dog night was the first band he started mixing for in 1970
Jamel tapping all those great Three Dog Night songs. Don't forget Eli's Coming and Easy to be hard.
Oh, yeah. Forgot Easy to be Hard! I'm ashamed of myself.
Yes, Eli's Coming, Easy to Be Hard and Out In the Country.
Out in the Country is always good?
Eli's Coming: Three Dog Night and then the original version by Laura Nyro, who wrote it. They're both great.
Please. Laura Nyro wrote and OWNS Eli's Coming.
If anybody ever says white people ain't got no soul, show this then video
Al Meyer Yo!
Some people say that my brother put on that soul singing, but he sang like that all his life. Nothing phoney about him.
Also The Commitments.
There was a lot of groups back then both black & white who the music industry didn’t want to show their faces because of how they sounded. What most of us forget is that most of this soul music came from black people who never got the credit they deserved for writing such amazing songs.

"Easy To Be Hard" is a 3 Dog Night must react.
yes! especially these days...omg! :D
Coolrockndad love that song💜
Live 2000 version Eli Coming really showcases the entire band collectively as and individually. Lauri Naturo be proud!
Suddenly I just now burst into tears, remembering my late husband taking me to see this guy singing his heart out. It was two days before giving birth to our only child, a daughter in 1970.

Cory Wells, one of the great voices of 70's rock music. Many of the hits that Three Dog Night had, were hand picked by Cory Wells, he just had an ear of music, he is missed today for sure.
And also The late 60's
No one can say this isn’t every bit as good as Otis’ version if they are being honest.
No one will Ever sing this song like Corey Wells! Please watch all versions of him singing this. Corey Wells is forever the finest. For that matter, no one will ever sing or put on a performance like my Corey. I miss him so badly😰
@@cathyopthof8136 Yes. This was a lip sync. When he does it LIVE - it goes to another level. Cory was the man.
Better
Eli's coming or out in the country are classics also.
Here we go..this is what a voice from heaven sounds like,the late,great cory wells
Jamel, this was a great version! Cory Wells had an incredible soulful voice, the boy ate his cornbread. I first saw this band live in '73 with my bestie, then last year, we saw them again, unfortunately without Cory, but still fantastic, what a show. We were 14 the first time, now 62 and still groovin' better than most.
Yeah you would have never known Cory was Jewish lol! Cory was a great friend to me at one time, it broke my heart when I heard he had passed.
I loved all three voices but Cory's was my favorite. That husky bluesiness, oh my. Rest in peace, Cory baby💙
Now please listen to the silkiness of Chuck's voice on "Easy To Be Hard", "One" & "Cowboy". Beautiful!💙
And you'd love Danny singing "Black & White".💙
Oh, and "Liar" & "Celebrate"!!!💙
And "Brickyard Blues"! Cory again.💙
Yes! Easy to Be Hard!!
Me and my 2 friends loved them! Chuck was my favorite ❤️
One a my TDN go to songs would be ' out in the country' - & thats w/orchestra......
Live where they r playing is rock n roll heaven
Cory was my favorite, too. He had a terrific blues voice. I miss him terribly.

Tracey you are so right. It was amazing. C
Don't ever underestimate these white boys who can sing blue eyed soul.❤
He felt that right down to his feet!! I love the reaction of the rest of the band....they knew it was a special performance.... and they knew how lucky they were to be in that moment!
ruclips.net/video/6TmucgHkgbU/видео.html
Amazing singer! We lost something very special when he passed. Can a white boy sing with soul? Hell yeah!!!
Soul ain't limited to color. It is the way we all feel. Thx for your efforts Jamel.
Check out Liar and one is the loneliest number.
One is the loneliest number is a classic!
One is the loneliest number
He should listen to the original demo of "One" by Harry Nilsson too, before Three Dog Night got it.
Definitely One, and black and white
Outstanding post, Mr Al! 👍
Very hard song to cover. Takes balls and talent. This dude hit a home run!!!!
Three Dog night does a stunning cover on:
A Change Is Gonna Come
I can't believe it took all 37-years of my life to discover this outstandingly badass masterpiece of a song! Hell yeah! Oh hell.. HELL YEAH, BABY! Thank you so much, Jamel, for posting this highly entertaining video!
Heart, Stairway To Heaven Tribute!
This is without a doubt one the band’s best songs.
I stood practically below Otis’ feet up front at the Monterey Pop Festival. Got to see him kill this one!!!. You might as well show that famous performance- he was backed up by Booker T and the MG’s! He also killed on “ Satisfaction”! It’s on YT!!
I am officially jealous.
NO WAY !!! I WOULD LOVED TO HAD BEEN THERE!!

Is"Eli's Coming" the same song Laura Nyro did? Man she's great love to see him react to her music.
Could never get 3 awesome vocal talents together like this today. All 3 dogs had their time as Top dogs, egos never got in the way of their greatness
Three Dog Night. OMG. OMG. OMG. One of the most brilliant and understated bands of all time.
Right! Shame on the RRHF!
Otis is my favourite singer and I love to hear him sing that song. I never expected to enjoy anyone else's cover, but that was surprisingly awesome! Way to go Three Dog Night!!!
Without a doubt, this is my favorite version of this song.

React to some America. A Horse With No Name. Ventura Highway. Sister Golden Hair just to name a few
It is so cool that you can appreciate this music! You weren't even born when they were big, what you're doing is great!
There's a great version of this on the album "Live At The Forum" In fact, the whole "Live At The Forum" album is total greatness.
Love this one. This was in the 60s. They were so young. Corey was the only dancer of the three. Really wish you would react to Family of Man
What a voice Cory Wells had. He could sing anything. And put a lot of soul in it. From Buffalo, NY, of all places -- who'd have thought? Thanks for posting this!
Saw these guys five or six times from ‘71 to ‘76, never saw a bad show, had a great supporting group of musicians. Peace out.
Gotta love that Hammond organ sound!! Makes me remember the awesome soundtrack from the movie THE COMMITMENTS - Now that's DEFINITELY worth checking out!!!
In my mind, Hammond organ = Whiter Shade of Pale
@@stevebengel1346 Hammond organ = Deep Purple.
Jon Lord, the Monster!
Greg Allman was the master of the Hammond B3
We're all entitled to our opinions, but Jon Lord was classically trained and played things on the Hammond that Gregg never even dreamed of. Pardon the pun.
❤ that movie! Mustang Sally was a great cover.
Jamel, you need to check out the version he did in 1975. It makes me cry every time! I've been listening to that version for a few years! Fire🔥🔥🔥🔥
We had the best music from the late 60’s to the late 70’s. Three Dog Night was so good.
I love every version of this song, but Three Dog Night's is my favorite. But the best performance they did of it was LIVE AT THE FORUM...much more funk! I think only the audio is available on RUclips.
three dog night will always be one of my favorite bands. also, give Dr Hook a listen, they are three dog night...on laughing gas...lol
Great description! On "laughing gas " Hahahahaha!
SO totally true! Best comparison to these two bands ever!
I JUST made a request for Dr. Hook too! One of my favorites.
I second Dr. Hook.
You want to get a good feel for Cory Wells vocals, do the live version of Eli's Coming.
I remember I was 18 when they were all over the radio and I had the biggest crush on Cory. I think I went to two of there concerts here in Kansas City, MO. They were great. I was sorry to hear that he passed away.
Thanks! I forgot how great Three Dog Night was!
This man could Sing! Lots of good live 3dog night videos out there.

Brilliant
Check out this cover. If you've never heard of this group, do some research and you'll be amazed. ruclips.net/video/fX8g_JEJol8/видео.html
I just heard that in my car. They don't play that very much. Brings back memories. When I was a kid. Going to name my old car that,
Whewwww, MANS GOT A VOICE!! AWESOME.. AWESOME... AWESOME!!!
With the guitar, YES!!
Nobody's trying to do better than Otis, can't be done, but doing an amazing cover doing this great tune justice..done!!
Never knew they did this- I adore me some Otis Redding, but I gotta give it up 4 this version!!*

I'm loving watching you discover this music, sir. There's a lot of people out here doing this kind of thing and that you're my favorite. Kudos.
You should try Dr. John, "Right Place, Wrong Time," If you want to hear some swampy funk.
I just went to go listen to that to see if I knew it and in the lyrics he said "Brain Salad Surgery" O_O I was literally going to suggest ELP for a reaction video
Cut the cake by AWB.
A song of his that is used in WKRP In Cincinnati: Keep That Music Simple
Hell yea, he def needs to jam to some Dr John!!! I remember Dr John on that Dr Pepper TV commercial way back in the 70s.
OMG Corey was incredible singer. They were all so talented.Rip.
Well, now, that was a performance you can grab hold to. My ears are still smiling!!!!!
I cant say I really like song remakes for the most part, but I have to admit this was pretty awesome. I still live Otis, but I'm impressed. I never heard this version before and my Aunt absolutely loved Three Dog Night.

Corey (RIP) just recently passed! Otis and soul his biggest inspirations!! A beautiful soul all the way through!!
Have you reacted to any Blood, Sweat & Tears? "And When I Die", Lucreatia McEvil, etc!
Go Down Gamblin'.
Always remembered that line, I'll swear there ain't no heaven, but I'll pray there ain't no hell. The year 2525 is another good one.
It is such a fantastic song.
I like their cover of God Bless the Child
They have so many good songs; love songs, serious songs, crazy fun songs...all done well.
Cory Wells was the best! You need to listen to him sing this same song on their Live at the Forum recording. You think he gets down in this one? Whoa.......He feels it even more on the live version.
Cory Wells had a distinctive sound. RIP
These guys do a great job with this song. Love Otis' Version.
The movie The Commitments has a killer version of this song, with the lead by a 16-year-old Andrew Strong who you would swear had decades of experience.
Absolutely. The best performance on a very strong soundtrack.

Cory Wells a superb vocalist So vastly underrated Thanks brother for your positive response ❤️
Who i n their right mind, could thumbs down this video?? what?? I'm moving on.
a mindless bot hopefully, and not a tone-deaf idiot passing for human
TROLLS are everywhere...sadly there is nothing you can do about them.
Someone who has not experienced some tenderness lol
Boy I miss the pre internet daya when you could pop an idiot in the nose..sigh
I agree Mike I mean come on man great music there’s a great divide it worries me
When you get a chance, give a listen to 'Pieces of April'. You'll absolutely love it. I guarantee it.
Yesss please. I second
Yes!!!!
I'd forgotten about "Pieces Of April" ...It's one of my favorite Three Dog Night Songs! Thanks for reminding me. I hope to see it here.
Pieces of April was in my opinion was one of the best. Hope he reacts to it.
Love Pieces of April... Chuck Negron can sing👍🏻
Brick yard Blues, Sure As Im Sittin Here, or Let Me Serenade You are also tunes you'll have a smile on your face while listening to.
They were one of the best groups ever. So many hits. Hope you try them all out. RIP Corey.
LOVE all the Three Dog Night you’re doing, and this cover is one of my favorites. You really have to watch them live, 1975, on Sound Stage singing “One.” Chuck Negron’s vocals and falsetto are awesome!
1975 Cory was so cute when he said, “Gotta dance here.” 😂
But if had to pick- it’d be 3dognight: 1972 this one below and the “Jam” being the best:

Always rocked this song!! They did a better version of this song...I will have to see if I can find it. It's just awesome!!
TDN sang "You can leave your hat on" before Joe Cocker. In fact, Randy Newman wrote it for TDN. Joe made it popular.. Cory had some soul, I love his version
The late great Cory Wells. One of my favorite singers of all time.
Great reaction to a great singer.....It is very difficult at best to follow Otis Redding and replicate any level of soul......Cory is one of the few that grasped what Otis truly did.......Thanks for not interrupting the video 10 times like most!! Dr G
Cory had a hella good voice, very talented and funny.
All three of them could have been successful lead singers in any rock band. They were very special!
"Try a Little Tenderness" is a song written by Jimmy Campbell, Reg Connelly, and Harry M. Woods. It was first recorded on December 8, 1932, by the Ray Noble Orchestra (with vocals by Val Rosing).
If you liked this, you need to check out Wilson Pickett’s version of The Beatles Hey Jude. Features Duane Allman on guitar. Same soulful feel. Totally different than the original.
You need to watch the live version. Cory REALLY brings it in that one.
This looked "live" to me!
he means live in concert, with a huge audience. i think they really shined brightest when live in an arena.
When I was growing up my grandmother's favorite song was Try a Little Tenderness. It was written in 1932.
Great imitation is the highest form of compliment... Otis would approve...
