No sweetie, Otis Redding made it what it is today. I wasn’t even able to listen to this version the whole way thru. It’s made to come from the soul. This is just a copy of one.
@Mewho825 I mean I never knew it when Otis sang it but when TDN did it , it was very popular where I live and in my teens years is the only time I heard it. Consistently
It's really a shame and embarrassing that groups like Three Dog Night, Grassroots, Tommy James and the Shondells, and many other Great Grupps, are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!! All these groups are more than deserving!! Such incredible talent on these groups!! Great Memories of all of them!!
These people who determine who gets in and who doesn't make it in the rock of Roll Hall of Fame have absolutely no clue about good music and therefore should not be judges of who goes in and who is locked out Three dog night Grand funk railroad and many others should be in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame these people don't know squat about these musicians and I would tell every single one of them to their face gladly
You said it, brother. I was a teenager in the '70s, and these bands are in MY Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, with honors. "Never Been to Spain" is one of my all-time-fave headbangers, the thing just builds and builds until you can't stand it anymore; I just sang myself hoarse while listening to it just as I used to do 50 years ago. Man, those dogs could SING.
Born in '53 - highschool in '72 - lived it - loved it - the musical scope of talent that I have heard and grew up with is truly phenomenal - I wish all you could have experienced what I did
Songs like this and groups like Three Dog Night really sank into our souls when we were young back in the 60's and 70's. When you picked up a new album, you not only listened to it many, many times, but you really paid attention to every little bit of it. You learned every song on your album by heart and could sing all the words. We weren't as distracted by other things back then: TV wasn't on 24-hours a day, no Internet or computers, no cell phones. There was time to listen to your music, talk to your friends, read plenty of books and ponder your life. It was a great time to grow up.
Lori I absolutely agree I learned on his version on try a Little tenderness but unfortunately many karaoke places do not carry the Three dog night version which is really stupid they carry Michael bubbles version and Otis Redding version and I cannot stand Michael bubble and his Frank Sinatra voice
Of all the times Cory Wells has sung this fine song, this is his most heartfelt version.He nails it shut! Nobody, but nobody can sing this song any better than this version. PERIOD!
@@krewzerz1 Because the RRHOF is Jan Wenner's private little thang - regardless of what you've heard. No Tull either. Not one of his faves. But really - so what? The music (at least their first 3 albums) is the real truth here. Not some phony club.
These Rock and roll Hall of Fame judges are absolute jokes like the supreme Court we have in the United States that are all with Trump except for a few
Glad you made it bro. My brother did two tours there and died 10 years ago from it. Cancer caused by agent orange caught up to him in the end. War is hell and "the pain of war can not exceed the woe of aftermath" Led Zepplin IV, from The Battle of Evermore.
Even when a person is in a coma....there is some things they still respond to...and it is easy to see why this song (and your presence) touched her heart...and gave her the power to respond. This song is powerful. God Bless You...and Your Wife.
This to me was Cory Wells at his best vocally. He did a great rendition of this classic Otis Redding song. One of the best ever. RIP Cory Wells. I loved you with the rest of Three Dog Night since I was a young girl in the 1970's. One of the best bands ever.
CM BEA First of all why are you so hateful? This song was sung by Cory NOT Chuck. Learn how to spell Cory NOT Corey. And what is a tosser? LOL on your very immature comment!
Lila and dog absolutely agree with you sis they need new judges in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame and get these bands in including Grand funk railroad one of the hardest rocking three piece bands on the planet
@@henrywales9901 Oh yeah. . my girlfirend and I were sorta groupies of 3 Dog night before they hit it big. I'm probably old enough to be your grandma. I am doing fine here in No. Calif. and you?
@@joycekellner9957 Hello dear how are you doing? thank you for the acceptance. its nice to meet you. when do you have time to talk.. i would love to know you better. We can chat more on hangouts
Your a very lucky person, I've seen hundreds of concerts but I was only 14 in 1975 but I would have loved to see them, these guys, the Grass Roots, Janis Joplin and the Guess Who, those were the 8 track tapes Dad had in the car for us, best time's of my life and I didn't even know it, peace to everyone out there, please enjoy these classics.
Joyce I don't care how old you are, you are freaking awesome and thank you so much for your share, just beyond cool for me, my deepest respect to you and your loved ones
I wonder if those who vote which bands get in and which bands don't can be replaced or impeached like Trump? They obviously don't know talent and they don't know what the fans like as well they all need to go and start with new judges they need to understand with older and newer fans and get these bands into the Rock and roll Hall of Fame including Grand funk railroad as well
OMG! I was on the crew who shot this video!! This was for the Hy Lit TV show, a local Philly Bandstand-like hit show (1965-70) that for a while was syndicated to others towns like Boston and Cleveland. We actually used that little toy, seen inside the bass drum here, to balance the colors. Remember this one well, though we shot many big acts in the day. Whoever posted..thank you!!!!
Al, Todd Kimmell here in Philly. Where is all the footage for Hy's show? Who produced the show? Channel 48 was put on the market with no buyers, the broadcast license going back to the FCC. Channel 17 bought up all the equipment and miscellaneous from the bellied up 48, but would they have bothered to take what was at the time just recently out of date footage? Here is a great photo of Chief Halftown, our neighbor out in the Glen Mills area, that you can send me a response through the message area of the page, if you would. Thanks! www.etsy.com/listing/116202593/vintage-philadelphia-print-chief?ref=shop_home_active_21
Hey, Todd! Great to hear from you. Most videos are gone, but a small percentage survived.I actually found a 2 video set called "The Best of the Hy Lit Show" volumes 1 and 2 with about 25 of the videos we shot, Iron Butterfly to Barbara Mason.It includes some we didn't shoot, mislabeled as though we did. I bought it from Vintage Vinyl at VVMO.com, a guy named Steve Kay, 925 Davis St ,Evanston Ill 60201. Wasn't cheap; 60 bucks including shipping, but meant the world to me. Joe Saraceni produced and directed the best ones, though Guy Galante did a number of them as well. My job was mostly lighting and camera. All the best, Todd!
Chip Gaasche _ No he didn't, it is an old song. Otis "owned" it by the strength of his performance when he recorded it. And when you think of O.R. classics, "Tenderness" is among his top song performances. Who in History can say that they can stand toe to toe with O.R.? In my opinion, Cory "owns" this song's best performance with the TDN version. That really is a testament to Cory's extraordinary talent.
Chip Gaasche _ We agree. Otis was first to record his version in the modern Rock & Roll era. He knocked it out of the park as one would expect with a man of his talent. _ A few years latter TDN bravely produced their cover of this incredible song. What rarely ever happens is that the new group out shines the master. In this case they did. After Cory laid down his track he "owned" that song from that point. For Cory to take on that challenge and deliver that performance forever cements him as a Rock mega star. I know of no other star that can say that they shine brighter than OR on a song that he pored his soul into. Cory stands alone. I will always have the utmost respect for both artists. Cory has the better version. _ Cory also displayed his greatness on other TDN classics like "Never Been To Spain" and he also wasn't the only mega talent in TDN. Chuck was huge too. A ton of talent in and around that group.
John Beckman I like all 3 singers in TDN, but Negron was my favorite. Let us not forget the contribution of the backing musicians in TDN. What a tight, inventive lot they were.
I saw them right when they were beginning to unravel, and Chuck Negron was so blitzed that he didn't know where he was, and having been my favorite band growing up, it was painful to watch. I'm glad that Chuck was finally able to rid himself of his demons and find redemption and peace.✌☮
Saw them at a small club in Boston beside Fenway Park in 1968 before they had their first hit. My room mate said lets go over to club, I asked who was playing and he says Three Dog Night and I asked who they were. 19 years old, what a great time that was. Loved them ever since.
Corey wells, and keyboardist Jimmy Witherspoon, are both disceased. One of my favorite groups. Watch this same guy and keyboard sing, Try a little Tenderness about 2015 with Tennessee orchestra. One of the great Blue eyed soul guys. Thanks👩🏻🦳☦️‼️
Michael Allsup really is a seriously underrated guitarist! Listen to how he completely took the song and rocked it, along with this kick-ass band! The original musicians of Three Dog Night were phenomenal, as well as Chuck , Cory, and Danny.
Cory Wells voice and this song have haunted me since I was a teenager in the early 70s. I played it over and over again and I love that I can just bring this video up and watch/HEAR him again. I know he's gone now resting with the angels. RIP
It's really an absolute shame that Three dog night does not have a karaoke version of try A Little tenderness! They didn't better than anybody including Otis Redding who wrote the song 🙏
Excellent cover !!!! I love Otis and could never imagine anyone else singing this song and doing it justice, but man! They sure did!!!!! Thoroughly enjoyed this cover, stupendous job by Corey and Three Dog Night.
Priscilla absolutely agree with you when I've done this song in karaoke I try to sound like three dog night would he was the best at doing this song Michael bubble the nightclub singer has no clue how to do this song with his Frank Sinatra disgusting voice
Great Otis Redding composition. Sometimes a cover is better than the original. What a soulful voice. Remember this song coming out of my sister's room in 1970.
Although Otis popularized this so g, he didn't write it. It was actually written by three men in 1932. It was originally recorded by the Ray Noble Orchestra. Bing Crosby recorded it a year later. Otis recorded his version in 1966.
When you listen to this band from the early beginnings, as the lead singers all say ,it was the band that made it all happen for them. Yes the band was unreal but the three guys up front could sing their asses off also!!! Thanks for the music 3 dog night!!!!
Every one of them are outstanding musicians. Top shelf all the way. But those vocals. The best 3 male rock vocalists ever assembled. Each one an incredibly powerful lead. Which is what separates them from all the other great harmonizing bands of their era.
@@greenlightwilly absolutely and total agreement with you nobody did this song better than Three dog night and I cannot stand Michael bubble and his nightclub version his Frank Sinatra voice does not impress me and if he ever wanted to go up against me in a music contest I would more than welcome it
Before Three Dog Night blew up into the incredibly successful band they became, I got to see them twice at the Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino California and they were absolutely incredible. Cory Wells absolutely stole the show singing this to close the show. They tore the roof off that place both times. Such an amazing band and three great vocalists .
I always thought this was a great version of this song. Thanks for all the great music Three Dog Night. It's time to be inducted into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. It should have been years ago!
It's time to get new judges in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame that absolutely get it and put Three dog night Grand funk railroad and many other bands in there and get these arcade clowns that know nothing about judging they might as well be on the supreme Court in Washington
@@coltpurves nobody did this song better than Three dog night including the nightclub singer Michael Buble who absolutely barbecues this song I would love to barbecue him in a music contest and yes I would go face to face with him
In the Summer of 1998 my 14 yr old son and I saw Three Dog Night live at the Muskingum County Fair🎉Excellent They were one of my favorites growing up in the 70's
Had forgotten how freakin’ good Cory’s cover of this song was. They all just slayed on this track, band as well. Golden Biscuits was one of my first albums and I wore it out, literally, and had to buy a second copy a couple of years later. So many great cuts.
Saw them play in a little club beside Fenway Park in Boston 1968, just before their first big hit came out. Great memory, 19 years old and our whole lives in front of us but too dumb to know it or appreciate it.
This song moved me in 1968. I was 11. It still moves me, and remains my favorite TDN tune. It may be responsible for my puberty kicking in! Yeah, I said it.
Cory Wells has made this song what it is ! Fantastic Rip 🙏 Cory Wells
Three Dog Night more less copied how Otis Redding did this song. It was originally sung by Frank Sinatra in the 30's.
No sweetie, Otis Redding made it what it is today. I wasn’t even able to listen to this version the whole way thru. It’s made to come from the soul. This is just a copy of one.
I like Otis Redding too.
Who?😂

Total bs.
With each passing day, I become more aware of what an absolute awesome era I grew up in. This music cannot be surpassed.
Even if you regret everything else in life, you have this. Enjoy, mate. ))
You are in lots of good company as many of us are on RUclips listening to the greatest music ever.
One of those bands that never really got the respect that they truly deserved .
The Baby Boomer Generation produced some of the finest musicians ever and their songs are still sought after even today!
as a gen-xer that adores the 80s and 90s music i still cannot agree with you more good sir, thats why i am here listening to songs like this one!
Many, if not most, of the artists from the 60's weren't from that generation which spanned from '46 to '64. Cory Wells, for instance, was born in '41.
Born in '53 - highschool in '72 - lived it - loved it - the musical scope of talent that I have heard and grew up with is truly phenomenal - I wish all you could have experienced what I did
`52 here also highschool 1972. Yes and Amen to that!

BIG TIME. Corey does a great job, like Otis Redding.
You speak the truth!
So true!
got to see them back in the 90's!....this is the gold standard version of this song, they rocked it!
Corey Wells' voice is so fabulous, pure soul! He was a true talent!!
Hello Lori, How are you doing?
Corey's cover of "Try a little tenderness" was fantastic.
I love Cory💖
So Sad He is Gone🌹
Lori I absolutely agree I learned on his version on try a Little tenderness but unfortunately many karaoke places do not carry the Three dog night version which is really stupid they carry Michael bubbles version and Otis Redding version and I cannot stand Michael bubble and his Frank Sinatra voice
He is my eternal crush
By this song alone Three Dog Night should be in the Hall of Fame.
They were my all-time favorite band! Miss those days so much!
I liked Joy to the World...& almost ALL of their songs
Otis is smiling from heaven hearing this rendition!
Of all the times Cory Wells has sung this fine song, this is his most heartfelt version.He nails it shut! Nobody, but nobody can sing this song any better than this version. PERIOD!
I totally agree! That second drum roll sets up the mood..............Cory responds..............
A certain Otis Redding might beg to differ.
I personally think 59-year-old Cory Wells sang it better with the Tennessee symphony orchestra in 2000
Have you heard of Otis Redding
Brings back memories of hearing him sing this in concert! Fabulous!
One of the most talented bands to ever take the stage. To this very day.
Why not in the hall of fame.. they deserved it
Truth! Name a band today with 21 consecutive Top 40 hits, and 3 that hit number One! (not the loneliest number ;) )
@@krewzerz1 Because the RRHOF is Jan Wenner's private little thang - regardless of what you've heard. No Tull either. Not one of his faves. But really - so what? The music (at least their first 3 albums) is the real truth here. Not some phony club.

Gospel rock is just as worthy as hard rock or soft rock. Music would not be the same without Three Dog Night.
I had forgotten what a great singer Cory Wells was until I heard this song. Superb vocals. RIP Cory Wells.

Absolutely one of the best bands of all time. 60’s and 70’s music is the best R and R music ever!

Close my eyes and he becomes a brother. Skin color is of no importance ...wow thanks for posting this gem!
by that I meant we all have the same emotions and feelings driving our talents gifted to us.
@@yarygork2334 100%
No doubt one of the best harmonizing bands ever.
Saw them at a small club in Boston beside Fenway Park in 1968 before they had their first hit. My room mate said lets go over to club, I asked who was playing and he says Three Dog Night and I asked who they were. 19 years old, what a great time that was. Loved them ever since.
I always thought Corey had the most feel and soul of the singers in Three Dog Night. This is great and the band is killer.
Crazy talent....the three of them had about the best 70's voices out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn! Cory is killing it! I've watched this a million times and I can watch it a million times more. Wow. The best!
Beautiful to see Cory wearing a Rosary. Great learning that he led a good family life and was a devout Catholic..God truly blessed his heart.
jG...and another thing, Cory was married for 50 years and was from Buffalo, NY where he died of cancer.😢
brings back school dances 70- 73, good times
Cory was so good looking and a family man with great values we should all learn from. Thanks for the great music!
This is such a great version of this song......only 3 Dog Night could pull this off with the organ and vocals.......
Corey wells, and keyboardist Jimmy Witherspoon, are both disceased. One of my favorite groups. Watch this same guy and keyboard sing, Try a little Tenderness about 2015 with Tennessee orchestra. One of the great Blue eyed soul guys. Thanks👩🏻🦳☦️‼️
That's Jimmy Greenspoon, friend.
@ yes! My bad!
It's amazing how many hits in the top 40 they had. Definitely one of the most talented bands ever. What a brilliant voice Cory Wells had. May he RIP.
One of my Vietnam songs and groups.
This is my favorite Three Dog Night song and Cory does a fantastic job with it!
That's just a bunch of guys having a blast on stage. I love the look on the faces of the rest of the group.....they know he's killing it!!
My first concert in 1972. Opening act was some guy called Rod Stewart.
Saw the same show at Detroits Olympic theater. Johnny Winter also played.Six months later bolth Rod and Johnny were head lining shows in Detroit.
Sha Na na is really good music ❤

I love these guys so much. Big childhood memories
Sounds as great today as it did waaaay back then. These guys just kicked ass.
Favorite song by them!,
We are so blessed that this early live footage still exists...🥰

This is absolutely magnificent. The song AND the video.
Michael Allsup really is a seriously underrated guitarist! Listen to how he completely took the song and rocked it, along with this kick-ass band! The original musicians of Three Dog Night were phenomenal, as well as Chuck , Cory, and Danny.
I'm 64 and have been looking for new music to listen to. What happens ? I end up back to the music of this era, it brings back some great memories
Absolute killer version!!!! R I P Cory Wells!!
Used to car pool with lady who's husband was brother of lead guitaress of 3 dog night ❤❤❤❤
Cory Wells voice and this song have haunted me since I was a teenager in the early 70s. I played it over and over again and I love that I can just bring this video up and watch/HEAR him again. I know he's gone now resting with the angels. RIP
I love and miss you, Corey♥️♥️♥️
Oh my God what a voice !!!! AWESOME VERSION !!!!!!
Two of my buddies that were drummers took me to a concert in in the 70s and the band that was playing was Three Dog Night man did they put a show on🎸
I keep watching this over and over. I dig his dance moves! And that voice and that soul are amazing. The whole package for sure!
Absolutely incredible vocals! And not to mention the whole band a masterpiece of talent!
It's really an absolute shame that Three dog night does not have a karaoke version of try A Little tenderness! They didn't better than anybody including Otis Redding who wrote the song 🙏
What a terrific voice Corey
Excellent cover !!!! I love Otis and could never imagine anyone else singing this song and doing it justice, but man! They sure did!!!!! Thoroughly enjoyed this cover, stupendous job by Corey and Three Dog Night.
Priscilla absolutely agree with you when I've done this song in karaoke I try to sound like three dog night would he was the best at doing this song Michael bubble the nightclub singer has no clue how to do this song with his Frank Sinatra disgusting voice
Great Otis Redding composition. Sometimes a cover is better than the original. What a soulful voice. Remember this song coming out of my sister's room in 1970.
Although Otis popularized this so g, he didn't write it. It was actually written by three men in 1932. It was originally recorded by the Ray Noble Orchestra. Bing Crosby recorded it a year later. Otis recorded his version in 1966.
@@ThomasBond-jr4se Thanks for the correction.
I just had the pleasure of meeting Chuck and Danny on a bus here in Tucson. Quite an honor.
DAMMM!! Cory Wells gifted with that Natural Soul... totally just sang his ass off right there 👍 rest in peace my brother
When you listen to this band from the early beginnings, as the lead singers all say ,it was the band that made it all happen for them. Yes the band was unreal but the three guys up front could sing their asses off also!!! Thanks for the music 3 dog night!!!!
Every one of them are outstanding musicians. Top shelf all the way. But those vocals. The best 3 male rock vocalists ever assembled. Each one an incredibly powerful lead. Which is what separates them from all the other great harmonizing bands of their era.
There is absolutely nobody on the planet including Michael bubble and Otis Redding who wrote the song that does it better than Three dog night
@@greenlightwilly absolutely and total agreement with you nobody did this song better than Three dog night and I cannot stand Michael bubble and his nightclub version his Frank Sinatra voice does not impress me and if he ever wanted to go up against me in a music contest I would more than welcome it
Before Three Dog Night blew up into the incredibly successful band they became, I got to see them twice at the Swing Auditorium in San Bernardino California and they were absolutely incredible. Cory Wells absolutely stole the show singing this to close the show. They tore the roof off that place both times. Such an amazing band and three great vocalists .
Cory was so young! And oh so very talented. I love his version and this video. Can we all go back? lol
my favorite groups Three Dog Night and Bee Gees. This a beautiful song even covers done by others
Loved three dog night especially Cory. Miss those days
I always thought this was a great version of this song. Thanks for all the great music Three Dog Night. It's time to be inducted into Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. It should have been years ago!
IMO it is THE version of the song!
Me too........???how are you doing...???
It's time to get new judges in the Rock and roll Hall of Fame that absolutely get it and put Three dog night Grand funk railroad and many other bands in there and get these arcade clowns that know nothing about judging they might as well be on the supreme Court in Washington
@@coltpurves nobody did this song better than Three dog night including the nightclub singer Michael Buble who absolutely barbecues this song I would love to barbecue him in a music contest and yes I would go face to face with him
In the Summer of 1998 my 14 yr old son and I saw Three Dog Night live at the Muskingum County Fair🎉Excellent
They were one of my favorites growing up in the 70's
Holy shit. He did Otis justice. This man killed This!!
Oh yes he did.God bless him.Rip.❤ Cory...
the great cory wells
I love him. I love him songs. RIP Cory Wells
damn sure did,
This song was around since the 1930s, before Otis Redding, his version is just the most well known
I grew up listening to these guys. Some of the best music of its day.
Or any day! Fantastic voices & music! Brings back so many memories..love you Chuck, Corey & Danny!
Had forgotten how freakin’ good Cory’s cover of this song was. They all just slayed on this track, band as well. Golden Biscuits was one of my first albums and I wore it out, literally, and had to buy a second copy a couple of years later. So many great cuts.
This is a classic soul number that has unlimited resonance. We all need to "try a little tenderness."
My favorite group of my High School Days. brings great memories.
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame 2022
Their track record speaks for itself, should've been inducted a long time ago
Cory Wells! Damn! That guy could nail the blues.
RIP Cory.
This is Chuck Negron on lead.
@Madelow56, sorry but that is Cory on lead vocal, Chuck & Danny is on background vocal
@@Madelow56 that's Corry come on
Saw them play in a little club beside Fenway Park in Boston 1968, just before their first big hit came out. Great memory, 19 years old and our whole lives in front of us but too dumb to know it or appreciate it.
I can listen to this rendition of song, all the time.
This song moved me in 1968. I was 11. It still moves me, and remains my favorite TDN tune. It may be responsible for my puberty kicking in! Yeah, I said it.
Hello Kristi how are you doing today
Wow awesome stuff!
Real brillant performance. This band is hardly known in Europe
Brings back the days of teen hops, and hugging up some young sweet girl and slow dancing . Lord please change us back to those days.
My favorite Three Dog Night song!
