If you think of the song, you may associate it with Three Dog Night but they were covering it and Lauro Nero had written the song two years earlier.
No need for presenting Three Dog Night nor is there any need for editorial or comparison.
Unknown if any of the lads saw Laura Nyro in concert but I didn't and my mind is much more open to different music than it was at the time so it's a regret I missed some opportunities but there are so many others I didn't and usually Lotho, often Cadillac Man, and, you know, the lads would be there too.
We didn't usually go to the concerts together but we often ran into Trippin' J & D. Sometimes Trippin' J would be with the Surfman as those rascals are some acid-eating, music-loving wildmen.
Trippin' J & D are married to this day and Daughter N is an accomplished artist in ceramics with, I believe, a Masters degree.
Maybe y'all remember the state palaver about LSD breaking chromosomes but y'all were some trippin' fools and I see the progeny you have brought to the field. If those are mutations then the world needs fookin' more of them. Ha!
As for who was trippin', I don't recall anyone who didn't. All of you louts were stuffing hallucinogens into yourselves. I'm not sure if he did it more than once but trippin' with Cadillac Man would have been interesting as his musical interests were wider than mine back then. He was following Laura Nyro, Leonard Cohen, Pharoah Sanders, and all kinds of different acts which were way off the mainstream.

I saw her at Cincinnati Music Hall in the early 70s. Her best stuff is not the hit songs but the soulful stuff like 'Confession'. She was unique and she was beautiful.
I saw her at Cincinnati's Music Hall in the early 70s. Her best stuff is not the hits. Songs like Confession and Tom Cat for example are more soulful. She was beautiful and was a great solo act. She died far too young of cancer over 20 years ago. Pharaoh Sanders one of the great sax jazz musicians who played with John Coltrane is still performing occasionally in New York. Hope to catch him there this year.
