Dosey Doe Coffee House presents Chuck Negron (formerly of Three Dog Night).

From a humble Bronx, New York apartment to success and wealth far beyond anything he could imagine, the Chuck Negron story is an amazing saga. For what could have ended on a deadly downbeat is today a wonderful story that gives us all hope and faith that miracles do happen.

In 1967, Chuck Negron became a founding member of Three Dog Night, a vocal trio whose roots would be in R&B, rock-n-roll and urban doo wop. Built around the pop soul vocals of Negron, great songs, brilliant musicians and a powerful three part harmony, few bands would be as consistently popular in concert or on the music charts as they would. In an era when Jimi Hendrix, The Rolling Stones and Motown were competing for chart positioning, TDN dominated the charts and sold 50 million records by 1975 – 90 million records sold to date.

By 1975, two original members of the band were unable to continue and had to be replaced. In fact, the sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll existence had taken its toll. Soldiering on after their last million selling single ironically titled The Show Must Go On, the band released their last top forty hit Til The World Ends which reached number 32 on the pop charts. Three Dog Night would call it quits in 1976. Recovering from years of abuse, Negron returned to music nearly two decades later. “In 1992, I studied voice for the first time in my life! I wanted to learn and be better than I had ever been. I discovered a new and wonderful passion for life and my music." Negron explains with a laugh, “I still train and utilize my vocal coach whenever necessary.”

Negron now performs upwards of seventy shows a year giving audiences the opportunity to hear his impressive volume of hits plus an exciting repertory of new songs from his four solo CD's.
