Three Dog Night is an American rock band. They formed in 1967 with a line-up consisting of vocalists Danny Hutton, Cory Wells, and Chuck Negron. This lineup was soon augmented by Jimmy Greenspoon (keyboards), Joe Schermie (bass), Michael Allsup (guitar), and Floyd Sneed (drums). The band registered 21 Billboard Top 40 hits (with three hitting number one) between 1969 and 1975. Because Three Dog Night recorded many songs written by outside songwriters, they helped introduce mainstream audiences to writers such as Paul Williams (“An Old Fashioned Love Song“) and Hoyt Axton (“Joy to the World“). LYRICS: The ink is black, the page is white Together we learn to read and write A child is black, a child is white The whole world looks upon the sight A beautiful sight And now a child can understand That this is the law of all the land All the land The world is black, the world is white It turns by day and then by night A child is black, a child is white
