Chuck Negron, one of three lead singers in the original lineup of the hitmaking Los Angeles band Three Dog Night, died Monday at his home in Studio City. His death was announced by a representative, Zach Farnum, who didn’t specify a cause but said that Negron died peacefully surrounded by his family. Between 1969 and ‘75, Three Dog Night put 21 songs inside the Top 40 of Billboard’s Hot 100; three of those went to No. Three Dog Night released its first album in 1968 — among the other members were Michael Allsup, Jimmy Greenspoon, Joe Schermie and Floyd Sneed — but by the mid-’70s the band had broken up. Negron’s survivors include his wife, Ami Albea Negron; his children Shaunti Negron Levick, Berry Oakley, Charles Negron III, Charlotte Negron and Annabelle Negron; and nine grandchildren.
