THINGS I'VE LEARNED . . .

 Things I've learned and I don't know why.

I heard that the very successful musical group Three Dog Night only recorded other people's music - covers.  Seven guys - with many changes over the years!  Between 1969 and 1975, they had 21 Billboard top 40 hits.  

They never created a song themselves.  None of them were writers.  They performed songs by writers who became famous because of them;  Paul Williams, Hoyt Axton, Randy Newman to name a few.  

Have you heard of "An Old Fashioned Love Song", "Joy to the World", "Try a Little Tenderness".

The next time you're tempted to turn your nose up when hearing of a 'cover band', remember Three Dog Night.

Now you know, too.
