ABOUT: The voice was Chuck Negron's, the song was "Joy to the World," and it was just one of Three Dog Night's twenty-one consecutive Billboard Top 40 hits that made the band one of the most successful rock groups ever. Rolling Stone magazine called Three Dog Night "the top of the rock and roll heap," with "more gold, bigger crowds, and fatter purses than any other band." "Joy to the World" alone sold twelve million copies. Three Dog Nightmare is the autobiography of Chuck Negron, and the story of Three Dog Night. But, unlike so many rock bios, this is much more than a self-indulgent paean to sex, drugs, and rock 'n' roll. This is a story about a little kid growing up in tough circumstances in a rough Bronx neighborhood. It's about a kid whose father abandoned him, and whose mother was forced to place him in an orphan-age because she couldn't afford to care for him It's the story of a painfully shy boy finally finding his self-confidence, first on the basketball court, and then as a singer. It's also the story of the L.A. music scene when it was at its craziest, and it's the story of how what should have been the glory years for Chuck Negron turned into a twenty-five-year nightmare. For Chuck Negron, success begot excess. By the time the band broke up in 1975, Negron was supporting a $2,000-a-day drug habit. "In the end, I traded a Mediterranean-style villa in the Hollywood Hills with a garage full of Mercedes for a corner of an abandoned building where I slept on a filthy mattress that I found in a vacant lot. My dealer used to live down the street, wore Armani suits, and drove a Mercedes. In the underworld of the street junkie, my dealer lived on the street, didn't own a suit, and rode the bus."
