One Is the Loneliest Number: On the Road and Behind the Scenes With the Legendary Rock Band Three Dog Night Hardcover – January 1, 1991

In an interview shortly before his death, Jimmy Greenspoon said he wanted to be remembered for not just coming to the party, but for being the party. He may have achieved his goal. This book is a really nitty gritty inside retelling of what life in one of the most successful rock bands was really like. Recommended reading as both a romping party book and a cautionary tale, with a redeeming ending. Hope it gets out in Kindle form soon.

wow you talk about other band with drug problems. Jimmy tells it like it happened and holds no punches. It starts of with a family history and then takes off into the Rock and Roll world. What is a mazing is that Jimmy and Chuck were able to live through it all and clean up.

Excellent Book. I just finished reading this book and Three Dog Nightmare by Chuck Negron. Reading both books really tied together the history of Three Dog Night and the culture of the 60's and 70's. Jimmy Greenspoon was honest regarding his addiction and how to support it. It is amazing he lived to write his story. This book is an eye opener into the era of that time.Must read for Three Dog Night fans!!!!

Loved everything

If you are a Three Dog Night fan and/or love the music of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, this is a great read. Hard for me to put it down.

Very interesting. Jimmy Greenspoon was very blunt, and to the point. Alchohol and heroin were his choice, for quite awhile.I give him the credit he deserves for becoming clean and sober.

As described

I am a huge TDN fan from the time they started in the 60's until they disbanded in the 70's. I own every album they made and now I own the same albums on cd. I even was fortunate enough to see them when they reunited in the 80's. I was very unfortunate to see them a few years back, no where as good without the originals.This book is about Jimmy Greenspoon's life. Starting out as a kid living in Beverly Hills, through his own ventures in small bands, to playing keybords for Three Dog Night, to playing keyboards for Shaun Cassidy, and Back to TDN. And his life as a junkie.I have never read a book by some one so stuck on their self like Jimmy Greenspoon. Yes TDN was a huge success, yes Jimmy Greenspoon can play keyboards great, but to think he can even attempt to sing Chuck Negron's parts, he must of been stoned. Oh that is right, that was when he was clean, those drugs must of burned out his brains.I guess it was a blow to his ego to play keyboards for Shaun Cassidy. Did he really think any sane TDN fan would look past the 3 front men, Chuck Negron, Corey Wells, or Danny Hutton, and even give him a second glance.Funniest thing about this book was when he lost the trust of his junkie buddy, Chuck Negron.The saddest part of this book was when he stole money from his dying mother, who gave him every thing, there is no excuse for that.It was a good book if you got past his ego, but not near as good as his junkie buddy's book.
