Oh man, this one hits hard. Three Dog Night was my favorite group from the early to mid 1970's. Floyd was one heck of a drummer. Thanks for the post. RIP, Mr. Sneed.

Paul Kingery Pat Bautz David Morgan Howard Laravea Timothy Hutton

Cory Wells died in 2015

Chuck Negron who everyone thought would die 1st because of substance abuse, is still going strong as a solo artist at 80. his last album was in 2017
