"We spoke of Jerry Garcia and Elton John spent plenty of time on the subject of his dear ol' pal Brian Wilson of The Beach Boys and touched upon his days working with such punk acts of X and Fear. He even mentioned that he'd read my recent interview with Robby Krieger of The Doors. Of course, he also talked a ton about Three Dog Night."
"Oh, yes, but what they did on those numbers was often something truly special fitting Harry Nilsson's One, Randy Newman's Mama Told Me (Not to Come), Hoyt Axton's Joy to the World and others with sparkling rock/pop/funk arrangements and turning them into massive hits. Fans can look forward to hearing those songs and so many other favorites when Three Dog Night performs Sept. 14 at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga."
Danny Hutton recounts friendships and musical encounters with Jerry Garcia, Elton John and Brian Wilson and his work with punk acts X and Fear. He mentions reading other musicians' interviews and preparing for media appearances to match interview energy. Three Dog Night sold tens of millions of albums and reached global popularity from the late 1960s into the early 1970s. The group's commercial importance is often downplayed because members did not write the songs. The band transformed works by Harry Nilsson, Randy Newman, and Hoyt Axton into massive hits using distinctive vocal arrangements that blended rock, pop and funk. Three Dog Night will perform Sept. 14 at the Mountain Winery in Saratoga.
