Shamanczarek Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 So sorry to get this news. Three Dog Night was one of the first major bands I ever saw when they opened for Steppenwolf early in their career. They made Steppenwolf look like a garage band and went on to become hugely successful. Just last year I got to open a show for Three Dog Night in Connecticut. They were better than ever and with Jimmy and Mike Allsup still in the band the most distinctive instrumental elements were intact. Jimmy was so important to the band's sound as the primary musical arranger. Nearly all of the intros to their hit songs are predominantly keyboard.

Dave Bryce Posted November 5, 2014 Share Posted November 5, 2014 Not sure if there are rules against this or not. I saw this posted by someone on Goldy's Facebook wall. http://www.gofundme.com/fvte3g Not against the rules - you're not selling anything, or advertising anything. No worries. I'm also a big fan of Jimmy Greenspoon, and am sorry to hear he's ill. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammondDave Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Damn. So sad. He was a huge inspiration. What has always been sad about TDN is that they blew all the money they earned on so many silly things. We all know about Chuck and his heroin addiction. I know that Jimmy also had a significant drug problem.

jcazzy Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Jimmy Greenspoon was my first major influence as far as the Hammond organ and Leslie is concerned, even before Emerson or Wakeman. Got to move some money around and make a donation. Hope others can donate as well. If not, just keep him in your prayers. John Cassetty "there is no dark side of the moon, really.

Pa Gherkin Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Hammonddave pretty much sums it up for me. Jimmy was a big early influence on me. I truly hope he can beat this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HammondDave Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Jimmy was so important to the band's sound as the primary musical arranger. Nearly all of the intros to their hit songs are predominantly keyboard. As a lifelong TDN fan, I am surprised that I did not realize this until you mentioned it. I am trying to think of a TDN tune that does not have some type of Hammond or piano intro. We are thinking about you, Mr. Greenspoon. Get well soon!

HammondDave Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 I know I have posted these before, but for those who have not seen it, here is Jimmy in his prime. One of the greatest rock Hammond organists ever. I listen to this one clip and hear so much of what I still play today.
