There is indeed, Kent. You're very welcome.
Good day, Gina Graham.
Good day to you.
And, Paul Bryan, nobody likes preaching more than me. Chuck Negron here from Three Dog Night. The book, Three Dog Nightmare, the Chuck Negron story. I love Three Dog Night. I guess everyone loves Three Dog Night. Good to see you, Chuck. Oh, man. Nice to be here. I've heard stories, legendary stories about Chuck. Maybe it was from sitting too close to Dr. Drew. I remember hearing stories about selling a building he owned just to get drugs and stuff like that. And I just remember thinking, man, who who was deeper into drugs than than Chuck Negron? I mean, I mean, we've we've we've heard a lot of stories we've heard about, like snorting ants with Ozzy Osbourne and stuff like that.
But he didn't know he couldn't get high.
He just he thought he could get high and everything, because basically he's high. I mean, he doesn't need anything. So, Chuck, first Ozzy Osbourne. Three Dog Night, 90 million albums sold, 90 million albums sold, 18 consecutive top 20 hits, and six number one songs, 12 gold albums. I mean, it couldn't have gotten any bigger than Three Dog Night. I will say, I've always said... I love some of the deeper cuts like Eli's coming and songs like songs like that. But I've always said that black and white is one of my favorite songs. And it bothered me that Ebony and Ivory got a lot of spins when this was the ultimate black folk, white folk song. Ebony and Ivory stunk. Pretty bad. Let's listen to this for a second.
It's ironic that the Paul McCartney, Michael Jackson song is so soulless and so empty.
Like the two greatest musicians get together to write a song about... I think it's Michael Jackson. Well, you know, two white guys, you know. Brian, you got that right.
You did say, say, say with Michael Jackson.
Oh, maybe.
I think you're right, Brian. It's Stevie Wonder? I think it was Stevie Wonder. These songs? That's what I remember.
I don't remember. No, I don't think so.
I think it was Michael Jackson. No, it's Michael Jackson. It's Michael Jackson.
Yeah.
It's Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder.
Oh, Stevie Wonder.
Oh, even worse. It's way worse.
He did Say, Say, Say around the same time. Ah, that's what got me. He started work with all our blacks. And the girl is mine.
Don't forget.
Oh, God, can we please go back to black and white?
The girl really was Paul's. That was a civil rights... That song. They didn't have any music. This was a civil rights, and what's this? Alan Arkin's father wrote it. Really? Yeah, yeah. He was part of the civil rights bill. I got it. He wrote Black and White? Not the music, just the lyrics, which were part of the march. They'd sing, a world child is black, a child is white. And we got a hold of it and got some music to it and became a number one record. We just thought it really basically was a really good cut. We had no idea it was going to do as well as it did.
How did Chuck Negron's drug use impact his life and career?
How long was Three Dog Night around before Three Dog Night had success?
We, 1967, we got together.
Brian Wilson produced us. He wanted to sign us to Brother Records. And we went in and recorded a couple songs with the L.A. Philharmonic. Brian was just over the top with really great production. And then the brothers came in and said, we need these songs.
