RIP Chuck Negron (3 Dog Night)

[UncleChris]

Saw them at the Chicago Auditorium Theater in 1970. Scored front row center seats. What an absolutely fantastic show and music They were awesome.. No flashing lights, explosions, push-tracks or flying around on wires.... just high quality, high energy live music and performance. I highly recommend their "Captured Live at the Forum" album.
Sadly, Negron had a long history of drug abuse and it kept the group from recording a "comeback album".
RIP, Chuck. You were one helluva singer!

Was coming here to post this.

Chuck Negron, a founding member of the soul-rock sensations Three Dog Night who sang lead on such hits as “One” and “Just an Old Fashioned Love Song” and hollered the immortal opening line “Jeremiah was a bullfrog!” on the chart-topping “Joy to the World,” died Monday. He was 83.

He died of complications from heart failure and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease at his home in the Studio City neighborhood of Los Angeles, according to publicist Zach Farnum.

Negron and fellow vocalists Cory Wells and Danny Hutton were Los Angeles-based performers who began working together in the mid-1960s, originally called themselves Redwood and settled on Three Dog Night, Australian slang for frigid outback weather. Between 1969 and 1974, they were among the world’s most successful acts, with 18 top 20 singles and 12 albums certified gold for selling at least 500,000 copies.
