Chuck Negron, Three Dog Night’s Golden‑voiced Frontman, Dies at 83
Chuck Negron, co‑founder and lead singer of Three Dog Night and the voice behind hits like Joy to the World and One, died at 83 at his Studio City home. The band chalked up 21 Top 40 hits and gold albums, but Negron battled heroin addiction and COPD for decades, pursued rehab in 1991, and ultimately reconciled with former bandmates. His legacy endures in the trio’s classic catalog and his later solo work.
