Since #at40 today was not a Three Dog Night-friendly year, here's my remembrance of Chuck (died this week), Cory (birthday 2/5, died 2015) and some love for Danny, who imo looks like the Osmond who was given up for adoption.

Not sure about the band, but I mentioned elsewhere here today that lead singer Chris Norman sang with Suzi Quatro.

Was just thinking ... 1977? Doesn't seem likely we'll have a 3DN song to pay tribute to Chuck Negron, who died this week.

I saw them (plus Mahogany Rush) open for Queen this month in '75, but have no memory of my impression of them.

Good morning Jezza and gang! In 1977 I was starting my freshman spring semester at UMaine. As chicken songs go, I prefer Psycho Chicken, but In the Mood is fun, too. #at40

Isn't there a third version that's basically an instrumental version of it? Not sure who does it, but whenever I hear it I get punked waiting for vocals that never come.

Years later, after he left politics, I was a newspaper reporter and had occasion to do a phone interview with him about a project he was involved in. I was unsure of the protocol for titles and asked him if I should call him Senator or Mr. Secretary. He replied, "Just call me Ed!" Made my year.

Nehru? In '78? I had a Monkees-ers Nehru shirt. Those really need to make a comeback.
