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.

That song made me swoon. Still does.

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

Not as skeeved out as I get hearing Frank & Nancy Sinatra singing Somethin' Stupid.

I like it, but it's so "normal" compared to my fave, I'm Not in Love.

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

I enjoyed his video with Godley, "Cry."

... whose lead singer, Chris Norman, also partnered with Suzie Q on Stumblin' In.

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

Actual soundtrack of the breakup that was the nadir of my senior year.

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.

That's awesome! After I left Maine, I went to work as a correspondent for the newspaper that ruined his presidential bid in '72.

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.

Nov '79, #at40? Finishing my first of three senior semesters at UMaine on my first bachelor's, but will have my graduation ceremony on schedule in May. (Our grad speaker: Ed Muskie, most famous politician from my hometown!)

What? Everything else has made a comeback. Why not Nehru I loved the look.

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

I was thinking about it as they're coming here this summer. Saw them in the '70s.
