Cory Wells, one of three principal of the '60s-formed band Three Dog Night, died on Oct. 20, according to a statement released by the band.
"It is with deep sadness and disbelief that I must report the passing of Cory Wells, my beloved band mate for over 45 years," said Danny Hutton, among the group's other key vocalists, along with Chuck Negron. "Cory was an incredible singer -- a great performer, he could sing anything," Hutton added.
Though the cause of death wasn't specified, the statement said that Wells had died "unexpectedly," and noted that he had been performing with the band through September, when he "developed a problem with severe back pain."
Saddens me...I loved the ballad group seeing them every 5 or so years...one of the few that stayed "original" in band members. Saw them last perform in 2012.
What was your favorite Three Dog Night tune(s)? Mine had to be Mama Told Me Not To Come, Celebrate, Liar, and one Joan Baez sang on Diamonds and Rust, I Never Dreamed You'd Leave In Summer and Shambala.
R.I. P. singing the good ol' songs, Cory.
