“Out In The Country” #15 10/17/1970

The sixth of 18 straight Top 20 singles from Three Dog Night. Like several of their other hits this was co-written by Paul Williams, one of the top songwriters of the 70’s. He also co-wrote “We’ve Only Just Begun” and “Rainy Days And Mondays” for the Carpenters. Paul dabbled in acting, playing Little Enos in the “Smokey And The Bandit” movies. He’d also served as president of music licensing outfit ASCAP.
