Three Dog Nightmare: The Chuck Negron Story

Three Dog Nightmare: The Chuck Negron Story

From 1968 through the early 1970s, Three Dog Night was one of the most popular rock bands in the world. With his sweet, soulful sound, Chuck Negron guided the group through eighteen consecutive Top Twenty hits: three hit the #1 spot, including ``Joy to the World,'' and eleven broke into the Top Ten. But while Three Dog Night was hitting the high notes of critical and commercial success, Negron was sinking into the darkness of drug addiction. The singer's downward spiral continued for several years, and after the band's thirteenth album failed to go gold in 1975, they called it quits. For Negron, who was supporting a $2,000 a day drug habit, the descent was fast and long-lasting, encompassing two decades of horrendous drug abuse and terrifying near-death experiences. That he survived the ordeal at all is a miracle; that he today has a new foothold on life and devotes a great portion of his time to helping others avoid the pitfalls of drug abuse is an inspiration.Three Dog Nightmare graphically traces the life and times of Bronx-bred Chuck Negron, who used his talent on the basketball court to gain a college scholarship, and turned his gift for singing into an unforgettable career. For the first time, Negron tells his full story, hoping that it will teach others the life lessons he had to learn the hard way.
