Legendary band, THREE DOG NIGHT, now in its 5th decade, claims some of the most
astonishing statistics in popular music. In the years 1969 through 1974, no other group
achieved more top 10 hits, moved more records, or sold more concert tickets than
THREE DOG NIGHT.
THREE DOG NIGHT hits weave through the fabric of pop culture today, whether on the
radio where they are heard day in and day out, in TV commercials or in major motion
pictures — songs like “Mama Told Me (Not To Come)”, “Joy to the World”, “Black and
White”, “Shambala” and “One” serve to heighten our emotions and crystallize THREE
DOG NIGHT’s continuing popularity.
Boasting chart and sales records that remain virtually unmatched in popular music,
THREE DOG NIGHT had 21 consecutive Top 40 hits, including 3 #1 singles, 11 Top
10’s, 18 straight Top 20’s, 7 million-selling singles and 12 straight RIAA Certified Gold
LPs. The hits appeared on best selling charts in all genres (pop, rock and country). Its
records continue to sell around the world, reaching beyond the borders of the U.S. into
Japan, Canada, Holland, England, Germany, Spain and elsewhere. Tens of millions of
THREE DOG NIGHT records have been sold through the years.
Created in 1968 by Danny Hutton, THREE DOG NIGHT maintains an aggressive, yearround
touring schedule of over 90 dates a year, performing their hit filled concerts for
multi-generational audiences. The band’s now-famous name refers to native Australian
hunters in the outback who huddled with their dogs for warmth on cold nights; the
coldest being a “three dog night”.
