I agree that this is a great song but Chuck Negron did not write it. The Three Dog Night did not write their songs, The song was originally written and sung by Harry Nilsson. Harry Nilsson wrote a lot of songs but only sang a few that became famous
@@crazyralph3585 shall we tarnish the legend of Elvis because he didn't write all the songs he sang? No. Who cares. Chuck Negron was able to take those songs and apply his magic touch to them to create the majestic image of Three Dog Night. They were spectacular then and they still are.
You know I just turned 38 last week (February 1st) and I prefer songs from the 60's to the music of today any day. Three Dog Night sure know how to make a young man like me smile.
These three guys had literally the best voices ever back then. They made a great music. Being raised in the late '60s and early '70s couldn't be better. Nothing will top it, ever.
My very first concert @ age 11 in 1970 and what a great band! Can still picture the show/group today my best friend and I felt so grown up, going unescorted. Dad dropped us off on a big city downtown street corner and picked us up afterwards,,,being a free range kid was exhilarating. Our seats were behind the stage so we had a very good visual of their…ahem backsides 😂 😘
@@Kathy-bk6cg Thank you! I was very lucky to have open minded parents who let me explore music @ such a young age and at various live rock ‘n’ roll musical venues in Tulsa, OK when I was 17/18. They loved music too. Chuck Negron 😍 was my favorite band member he’s so handsome here, eh?
@@Kelly-nm4kwKathyrn's right; many of the music & 🎥 film stars r passing away. However, like Jimi said: "Just keep playing the records"; "see ya on the next one, don't be late". Peace, 🕊️🙏, love ❤ & hugs.🤗
63 and when I hear Chuck Negron tunes I'm whisked back to the very early 70's and I'm a kid again..what a great Era of music. Now all there is is ghetto crap..
My mother had this album and I think it was somewhere in the 80s I played this song and she sang the whole thing. I asked her why she liked it so much, she said to me, "your father was drafted to Vietnam and One was the loneliest number." Always remembered that when I hear this jam.
Your mother has great taste in music. 1969, I was 14 yrs old, it was a very tough year as far as the War. Every person knew someone who had served in Vietnam or killed there. Finally the War ended in January 1973. I joined the United States Marine Corps in 1973. By April 1975, I was stationed on Okinawa and helped during the Evacuation of Saigon, total chaos.
I can relate. I loved this song too. My brother went to Vietnam in 1969 in the Army's Mobile Riverine Assault Force and was killed by an explosive device that hit him with scrap metal. He'd only been there 20 days when killed. It had to be a closed coffin funeral due to the condition of his body. I cried from the night we found out for 2 weeks before l could go back to school. Hundreds of folks showed up for his funeral.
@@usmc-veteran73-77 My Dad was in the wee Striking 6th Marine Corp for 4 years during WW2. He was in Okinawa, patrolled the border between China & Russia as well as other battle areas. He got out after 4 yrs in Jacksonville Fl which is where he met his future wife my mother. They were married 61 yrs when my father died.
@Stephanie Walker Okinawa was a lot different from the time your Dad was there in 1945 compared to 1974-1975 when I was there. Beautiful Countryside... but there was still some evidence about the War when I was there.
Takes me back to being a little girl in awe of this world and then BOOM this song comes and says it all,,,I REALLY miss the good music back in my day,,,,music is my teenage years!
I heard this, already an 'oldie', in the car to my dad's funeral 23 years ago. I kept thinking of how he and mom were truly "one" through 44 years of marriage, and now my mom was going to be 'one' all by herself. At 87 she still misses him.
Sorry for your loss. My parents lost 2 of the 6 children they had. A one yr old daughter bitten by mosquitos given a type of illness as bad as Eastern Equine and their oldest son who was killed in Vietnam in 1969. My heart goes out to you.
One of those guys started out with Hanna Barbera studio signing cartoon theme songs. My favorite group as a child back in the 1970s. Still listening today.
the real deal... no tuners... shitty monitors.... just raw guts and voices of the gods... thank god I was born in that era to enjoy it as part of my nostalgia.... man could those boys sing... make sure to watch Elis Comin 1975... no one in any idol contest can touch these "Voices"....
The first time I heard this song was in 1970 sung by John Farnham who made it popular in Australia. I only heard this version and the original by Harry Nilsson many years later. It’s one of many songs that show how versatile Three Dog Night were.
I've seen many live acts and was privileged enough to see Three Dog Night in Destin fla, and to this day the best live act i have ever heard !!! my music resume includes too many top bands to mention, but b assured its many of the best in music today. and yesterday, stones, pink, heart,m kiss steely Dan and etc..i could go on but i digress, Three Dog Night was the best live performance i have ever heard! Totally underappreciated Band and their players, where are they-now? I still love you guys!
Me. Isolation at home for almost 6 months (had flu, no not that one, then pneumonia). Covid tested last week; negative hurrah. I can see my ageing parents who I have barely been able to see, other than from my doorstep for 6 months and they only live 5 mins away. Can't wait. TDN were a great tho underrated band. They always looked like they genuinely enjoyed performing. I was a young teen at the early 70's. What a time to be alive. Musically and fashion wise it was the best and most fun. What a time we had, what a time...
@@SCHNEKM483BK None....Cory Wells died in 2015 from complications of myeloma ...Chuck Negron and Danny Hutton are still around......and I hope still performing!!!!!!
Chuck Negron amazing lead vocalist on this particular hit song ... and just think, this band had 3 lead vocalist sharing the stage plus their combined backup band mates influence setting it all up for musical success!
Chuck Negron, what a voice. I am listening to.my favorite songs of 60s and 70s to determine who has the strongest voice and i think Chuck is the winner. Randy Meisner is right up there, too.
Agree. Their happiness and joy is often a tonic for those who’ve had a bad day. It gives one hope to see positive, creative people. It’s like, their still is good in this world, so maybe there is still hope for this world.
When I was in junior high, I thought this was the BEST song ever. Little did we know that the singer had a serious drug problem. I still love this song; always will love it. How naive we were back in the day.
He was a great singer too - in fact his version has *way* more soul than this one. Not that this one isn't really good! ruclips.net/video/DYzY7-V5vxY/видео.html if you want to check out the original...
On this day in 1969 {April 27th} "One" by Three Dog Night entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #84; and on June 22nd it peaked at #5 {for 3 weeks} and spent 16 weeks on the Top 100... It reached #5 on the Canadian RPM Singles chart... "One" was composed by Harry Nilsson; and in 1969 he had two Top 100 hits of his own, "Everybody's Talkin'" {peaked at #6} and "I Guess The Lord Must Be In New York City" {reached #34}... Between 1969 and 1975 Three Dog Night had twenty-one Top 100 hits; eleven made the Top 10 with three reaching #1 {"Mama Told Me (Not To Come)" for 2 weeks in 1970, "Joy to the World" for 6 weeks in 1971, and "Black and White" for 1 week in 1972}...

I was born in 1956 this music is still great compared to the crap we hear today
Ditto.
Can’t believe this band isn’t in the Rock and Roll hall of fame!!
I have been writing this for many years. They must have pissed somebody off. They are one of the greatest bands in music history.
Your kidding. That can't be right?
Ya no shit!!!!
Not sure but one issue was they never wrote any of their hit songs.
@@scootergeorge7089 neither did Elvis.
One of the greatest songs ever written and sung by one of the greatest male vocalists in Rock, Chuck Negron.
I agree that this is a great song but Chuck Negron did not write it. The Three Dog Night did not write their songs, The song was originally written and sung by Harry Nilsson. Harry Nilsson wrote a lot of songs but only sang a few that became famous

I still get chills when Chuck hits those hit notes on One
Me too more than goose bumps
To me, Three Dog Night will always be one of my all time greats.
Three dog night Beatles ❤
Real rock and roll, the beginning of everything else
One of the greatest bands ever
Say what you will, Chuck Negron is Three Dog Night's lead singer. No male singer I've heard in this type of popular song can touch him.
One of the very best rock bands of the '70's. They made lots of beautiful music.
You know I just turned 38 last week (February 1st) and I prefer songs from the 60's to the music of today any day. Three Dog Night sure know how to make a young man like me smile.
Props to the drummer-it takes real talent to drum and sing at the same time.
Floyd Sneed on drums! WOW! Incredible!
Hello Kim, How are you doing?
Those people are Geniuses. Wonderful song and performances.
These three guys had literally the best voices ever back then. They made a great music. Being raised in the late '60s and early '70s couldn't be better. Nothing will top it, ever.
Except the Beach Boys...
stop saying literly fool

In my opinion, Chuck Negron literally defined the sound of Three Dog Night. Their music is timeless and Chuck is the reason why.
Three Dog Night were one of the best groups of the 60's. Gotta luv it!
The memories...Wow, Such great music we had back in the 70s! Never again 😒
🎼Joe's iconic bass lines will live on forever🎶
As a bassist myself, I'll second that!
Cory wells,one of the greatest vocalist ever,totally underrated
Chuck Negron is the one singing the lead.
It's Chuck's show hon😂🙋✌️
Imo the best version is with Cory Wells live in 2002 with the Tennessee Symphony Orchestra
@@ryan7625 you must be ...Cory's grand kid or somethin'🙋thatttts ok, he was ok too! Just not Chuck!
No Chuck is the voice here

What a great group. Loved these guys! Many hits!
In 1970, Three Dog Night out sold the Beatles and the Stones
Ya sure?
I was 5 yrs old when I use to listen to this playing in my brothers basement room lol Baltimore, Md 1969. This took me back lol wow
Hello Deborah, How are you doing?
One of the best live bands ever and i saw them three times.
These guys really got into anything they were singing. The smiles and happiness going on here is awesome. I miss this!
Agree. Their happiness and joy is often a tonic for those who’ve had a bad day. It gives one hope to see positive, creative people. It’s like, their still is good in this world, so maybe there is still hope for this world.
Although I was born in 2006, I know this song is amazing and it's one of my favourite songs! If only 2019 music was as good as this
this shits my go to karaoke song HAHAH
One of the best bands from that era. I can listen to it now and love it just as much as I did as a kid in the 70s and 80s!
2020 and it is still lonely in my life....who else?
Yes...music meant so much to us back then including all of our little experiences as teenagers...nothing will compare to that
Chuck Negron you are the best!
When I was in junior high, I thought this was the BEST song ever. Little did we know that the singer had a serious drug problem. I still love this song; always will love it. How naive we were back in the day.
'ONE' - of the greatest 3 minute songs ever done - 'no pun'
R.I.P. The Great singer Cory Wells from Three Dog Night!
Fun to watch these guys quite self-aware that they are in the process of becoming something really big.
One of my favorite bands! Real talent.
FOREVER number ONE IN MY BOOK 😘💋💕
Wonderful, Amazing, So Good!!!
ONE (of my best favs of 3 dog Night) no pun intended !!! Great band !! RIP Cory Wells God Bless !!!
To come of age in the sixties when there was so many great bands and songs
One of the best Rock Classic of all time. and the Album is even greater
I first heard this song when I was 4 years old...still loving it 31 years later.
Very beautiful piece of music by Three Dog Night, Master Musicians
This song was written by Harry Nilsson, a great song writer.
k
And here I thought they made it up as they went along. Here’s for giving writers their due! Grazie.
He was a great singer too - in fact his version has *way* more soul than this one. Not that this one isn't really good! ruclips.net/video/DYzY7-V5vxY/видео.html if you want to check out the original...
Harry was a genius and I still miss him.
@@mwonow his version sounds dippy ! Stoppppp. Chuck rules. Elegant man!
This band sang the soundtrack of my junior high years. A lot of emotions coming up, bittersweet.
Loved this song as a young kid and still do. The best.
On this day in 1969 {April 27th} "One" by Three Dog Night entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #84; and on June 22nd it peaked at #5 {for 3 weeks} and spent 16 weeks on the Top 100...
It reached #5 on the Canadian RPM Singles chart...
"One" was composed by Harry Nilsson; and in 1969 he had two Top 100 hits of his own, "Everybody's Talkin'" {peaked at #6} and "I Guess The Lord Must Be In New York City" {reached #34}...
Between 1969 and 1975 Three Dog Night had twenty-one Top 100 hits; eleven made the Top 10 with three reaching #1 {"Mama Told Me (Not To Come)" for 2 weeks in 1970, "Joy to the World" for 6 weeks in 1971, and "Black and White" for 1 week in 1972}...
the happiest rock band ever !!
This could’ve cane out today and still been a hit. Thank you to my grandma for loving Three Dog Night and jamming it in the car when I was little!
Everything thing they did was exceptional. ❤️
🥀Beautiful Song amazing lyrics, vocals and music with meaning of unconditional love within! I've always loved this song it's really phenomenal🥀✌🥀☝️
great music & memories, should have been in hall of fame 40 years ago, standard of excellence, phenomenal sound, solid gold music
