"Joe Schermie quit in 1973 and was replaced by Jack Ryland. The band then became an eight-piece with the induction of another keyboards player, Skip Konte. However, by this time, the band had stopped recording and broke up not long afterwards."

They still perform as a sextet, and released 5 albums with new material after 1973. How could they have broken up "soon after"? It makes no sense.

If the band wasn't active until 1968, when the Beatles were already major celebrities, how can their use of a Lennon/McCartney song be one of the earliest hits for these songwriters, as this article implies?

Yeah, that obviously needs to be revised.

"Mama Told Me Not To Come" may have been recorded by Eric Burdon and the Animals, but it was written by Randy Newman. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.51.171.245 (talk) 19:02, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Location

If memory serves, the band was formed in Modesto, CA. Does anyone have any info to back this up? --PhantomTrogdor 13:50, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

Guitarist Michael Allsup grew up in Modesto. However, Three Dog Night was originally formed by the three lead singers, who already had a contract with Dunhill Records in Los Angeles when they began looking for backing musicians in 1968. There's a lot of good background information on Allsup's website http://www.michaelallsup.com -- when I get some time, I'll try to update this article. -- Engineer Bob 20:50, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] One

Is there a page for the song "One"? The link here just redirects to the disambiguation page for 1. Raistlin11325 15:15, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

• I don't believe there's an article on the song yet, but it would be a nice project for someone to work on -- maybe I'll start it one of these nights. The proper syntax for the title would be One (Three Dog Night song). -- Engineer Bob 19:28, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
