Thanks Liz,Dj & Sean!

I was only about 3 when "Joy To The World" came out but I had heard it on oldies stations since the early 80s. The defenition of rainbow ride simply was obvious to me,given the era that the song was out.

I also have the cassette,"The Very Best of 3 Dog Night with all their hits but their last one. I've linked their stuff since I first heard "Shambala" which is my 100% fav by them!

By the way Sean,did you know that,the statement you made "3 dogs tonight" is Aussie slang for how warm you'll need to be on one of their coldest nights? That's where the group gets their name! I read that in Billboard book of #1 hits.

P.S.-You'd be amazed at how many songs I know,and have!

Later!
