Died October 20, 2015. One of the three original lead singers of Three Dog Night. His group, the Enemys, became the house band of Hollywood's Whiskey-A-Go-Go where he met Danny Hutton. They were asked to tour with Sonny and Cher and later were joined by Chuck negron. brian Wilson of the Beach Boys produced their early efforts.
From 1969 to 1975 they had 21 straight Top 40 Hits including "Mama Told Me Not to Come" (#1-1970) with Cory on lead vocal, "Joy to the World" )#1-1971) and "Black and White" (#1-1972).
Other songs featuring Cory on lead vocals were "Shambala" (#3-1973) and "Eli's Coming" (#10-1969).
The group disbanded in 1975, reformed in 1981 and continued to perform. Cory was with them until a month ago when he was sidelined with sever back pain.
Definitely one of my favorite groups.
