(ENGLEWOOD, NJ) -- Legendary music icons, Three Dog Night, will perform at the Bergen Performing Arts Center on Thursday, November 5 at 8:00pm. Now into their 4th decade bringing with them some of the most astonishing statistics in popular music. In the years 1969 through 1974, no other group achieved more top 10 hits, moved more records or sold more concert tickets than Three Dog Night. Tickets range from $39-$69.
Three Dog Night’s hits wind through the fabric of pop culture today, whether on the radio where they are heard day in and day out, in TV commercials or in major motion pictures — songs like “Mama Told Me (Not To Come)”, “Joy to the World”, “Black and White”, “Shambala” and “One” serve to heighten our emotions and crystallize Three Dog Night’s continuing popularity.
As they mark more than 40 years on the road, Three Dog Night continue to grow their fan base with their well-loved hits, delivered in their unmistakable style, and performed for audiences spanning generations.
This Grammy-nominated band is not content resting on their legacy alone. Their releases from this decade alone have sold well over a million and a half albums and the band’s continued popularity landed “The Best of Three Dog Night : 20th Century Masters” on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart for 9 months.
Originally formed in 1968, the group was enormously successful from the start. Boasting chart and sales records that are virtually unmatched in popular music, Three Dog Night had 21 consecutive Top 40 hits, including 3 #1 singles, 11 Top 10’s, 18 straight Top 20’s, 7 million-selling singles and 12 straight RIAA Certified Gold LPs. Their hits appeared on best-selling charts in all genres (pop, rock and country). Their records continue to sell around the world, reaching beyond the borders of the U.S. into Japan, Canada, Holland, England, Germany, Spain and elsewhere. Tens of millions of Three Dog Night records have been sold through the years.
Three Dog Night recorded the music of the best (and mostly undiscovered) new songwriters of their time including Harry Nilsson, Randy Newman, Elton John, Laura Nyro, Paul Williams and Hoyt Axton among many others. The group’s eclectic taste, combined with their ability to recognize and record hits in a unique, distinctive and appealing style, resulted in Three Dog Night dominating the charts for years.
