I believe he’s the singer for “Eli’s Coming”...

Hide your heart! Rip, great memories...

One of the first albums I owned, possibly THE first was a Three Dog Night album. This one I think:

According to the story he is survived by his wife of 50 years, 2 daughters and 5 grandkids.

Impressive.

One is the lonelyest number that you ever do, two can be sad as one.

The collective music of the 60’s and 70’s is unsurpassed IMHO.

I saw them in concert in ‘73 (or thereabouts); they put on a more entertaining show than a lot of bands at the time.

One of my favorite bands from the early 1970s. I was around 10 years old when I got my first transistor radio. The kind that had the white earplug that only went in one ear. And only AM, because FM - what was that?

Which meant I had three choices. Sports, News or Top 40.

So I used to tuck it under my pillow every night and listen to all the Top 40 records at the time. Three Dog Night singles were among the first pop songs I learned.

In a weird twist, I was in Marine Corps Boot Camp in Parris Island in early 1981. I went to chapel one Sunday morning and the guest speaker was Chuck Negron of Three Dog Night! I was in the front row so he was literally right in front of me, as he talked about how he was on top of the world with number one records until he fell into sin and drugs and then finally saved by Jesus.

It was one of those surreal episodes that I thought I just imagined. In fact, almost all of boot camp was a surreal experience for me. But years later, I learned that Chuck did go through quite a rough patch during the middle 1970s and that as part of his therapy, he would go around the country and do these kinds of talks at church services.

Anyway, it's a shame about Cory and damn I'm getting old!

I saw Three Dog Night at an Oldies Tour in Houston in September 1984, sponsored by the oldies station KFMK with Lee Jolly and Chuck Schramek. They played at the Summit with Spanky McFarland, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap, The Association, and Flo & Eddie (The Turtles). I believe they were the closing act.

Took my future wife on our first date to the Three Dog Night concert. Loved the group all of these years. Don McLean was the opening act that night and heard American Pie way before it became a hit.

RIP.

We saw them in March, front row seats towards the center. Cory shook his finger and pointed at me for recording them (but he laughed). We have tickets to see them again, but...

Thanks for posting this. Our lives have been richer because of entertainers like him.

“Cory was like a brother in so many ways,”

This is very true. I knew him personally. He not only was a great singer, but, also a history buff and played historical board wargames. One of my favorite gaming experiences was playing Avalon Hill’s “Africa Korps” with him. We played some, talked about life some, and just had a good old time.

He was a good man. What more could you want people to say about you. (If you are a man...)

The first album I ever owned. Absolutely wore it out. Cory was a hell of a singer. RIP.
