I read the negative reviews about this CD having 6 mono songs and all I can say is . . REALLY? I love this piece of music, it is the very best compilation of TDN songs I've ever heard! It has ALL the hits of one of the greatest bands ever. TDN produced a unique sound and this is a MUST for all true music lovers. I can't stop listening to this CD!

5.0 out of 5 stars Strongest single disc available of all of their hits, May 28 2004

This review is from: Complete Hit Singles [Remastered] (Audio CD)

From 1969 - 1975, Three Dog Night was the most popular band in America. Don't believe it? Just look at their stats during that period: twenty-one consecutive Top 40 hits, eighteen straight Top 20's, eleven Top 10's, and twelve straight gold LPs. This seven-piece outfit featured three strong, distinctive lead singers in Danny Hutton, Chuck Negron, and Cory Wells, whose individual talents became even greater when harmonizing. While their sound was often slick, it was also undeniably soulful, particularly on the singles Negron fronted. In addition, the material they selected was extremely diverse and their arrangements were often innovative.

Three Dog Night's singles tended to come from up and coming singer-songwriters. In 1969, they reached the top 10 on the pop charts with Harry Nilsson's "One," Laura Nyro's "Eli's Coming," and "Easy To Be Hard" from the musical Hair. The following year, Three Dog Night scored their first number one with Randy Newman's humorous "Mama Told Me (Not To Come)," then branched out ecologically through Paul Williams' "Out In The Country." 1971 was undoubtedly the apex for Three Dog Night, with their signature hit - the ultra infectious Hoxt Axton anthem "Joy To The World" - topping the charts for six weeks, followed by Russ Ballard's rowdy "Liar," Williams' smooth "An Old Fashioned Love Song" and Axton's gritty "Never Been To Spain" (all top 10 efforts).

1972's "Black & White" gave them another feel good anthem and another number one, while the pretty "Pieces Of April" introduced songwriter Dave Loggins to the masses. The redemptive plea "Shambala" in 1973 and the Leo Sayer circus saga "The Show Must Go On" in 1974 were the final Three Dog Night singles to reach the top 10. Passed over for singles consideration around this time was the gutwrenching ballad "I'd Be So Happy" which offered Negron's greatest vocal performance. Instead, they released "Sure As I'm Sittin' Here" and the funky "Play Something Sweet (Brickyard Blues)" which gave John Hiatt and Allen Toussaint respectively some early songwriting success. Another Loggins number, the reflective "Til The World Ends," brought Three Dog Night their final top 40 hit in 1975. Hutton then left the group in 1976 and subsequent incarnations have never been able to recapture their radio success.

The Complete Hit Singles is the first singe-disc domestic collection to include all 21 of Three Dog Night's top 40 hits, in their original single versions. These tracks are also digitally remastered, making this set a vast improvement over the long existing Best Of which contained 20 of their hits but suffered from poor sound. For '70s pop enthusiasts, it's a must purchase.
