I rated this the 15th biggest Hit of the Year! Three Dog Night gets little respect due to their using professional songwriters while most others were writing their own material. It's kind of a shame; they had a great sound.

Answer: The Jaggerz

One Hit Wonder. I had it #41 for the Year.

3. Who played "In the Summertime"?
