The very gifted Cory Wells

February 5, 1941 – October 20, 2015

THREE DOG NIGHT is a band that I never was able to see

in concert when they really were 3 Dog Night.

I have however got to meet each of the 3 named members at either conventions

and/or subsequent concerts of both Danny Hutton and Cory Wells.

It also is a story of absolute complete disappointment and what could of been.

Sadly, but very THANKFULLY, this is the only item I have fully signed by

Chuck Negron, Danny Hutton and Cory Wells.

After obtaining Chuck Negron’s signature

on September 14, 2013 at the R&R Autograph Show

I tried on 5 different occasions at 5 different shows to obtain Corey Wells signature on both of these photos (as well as Danny Hutton’s).  Corey especially was the rudest, most insulting and ever so adamant about him not wanting to sign any autographs. Danny, upon seeing Chucks signature already on my photos, exclaimed, “I don’t sign anything that Chuck has signed”.

Okay, so I get it that there is really bad blood between band members:

However, I ask the question:

“What does that have to do with the fans”?

Couldn’t these men have kept their financial and personal arguments to themselves and not involve their fans? My family – all families – have problems. But we don’t take it out on the waitress who is trying to earn a tip when we go out to dinner!

SADLY, There are very few fully signed photographs of these 3 men.

I could have have had 2 autographed 8X10’s. Preserved for other fans to see

could have been 2 fully signed 8 X 10’s.

However, because of Corey Well’s absolute stubbornness and the fact that he has now passed away, he personally is the reason and is fully to blame that a chance to preserve and share what would of been some very rare and real R&R memorabilia with fans everywhere to have enjoyed, never came to pass in the case of these two photos.
