About The Record:

Three Dog Night (also known as One) is the debut album by Three Dog Night. The album is known for featuring the band's Top 5 hit single, their cover of Harry Nilsson's song One. The album made the Top 20 on the albums charts in the United States and Canada. The first single to be released from Three Dog Night was Nobody b/w It's for You in November 1968, followed by Try a Little Tenderness b/w Bet No One Ever Hurt This Bad in January 1969. The last single released from the album was One b/w Chest Fever in April 1969. The album's cover art, designed by Gary Burden, originally only had the name of the group on the front cover. After Nobody and Try a Little Tenderness were released as singles to only moderate success, the band began work on a follow-up album, Suitable for Framing. During planning for Suitable for Framing's release, however, Three Dog Night singer Chuck Negron approached Dunhill ABC executives asking that One (which Negron sang lead on) be considered as the band's next single. The label released One as a single in several test markets, and the record quickly became Three Dog Night's first bona fide hit, ultimately peaking at No. 5 on the US charts. The title One was added under the group's name on the album's cover to capitalize on the song's popularity.
