Geocache Description:






Seven Hundredth in the Famous People (FP) Series - Three Dog Night
Posted coordinates are bogus.


The band started in 1968 with three lead vocalists, Danny Hutton, Chuck Negron, and Cory Wells. They had made some early recordings in 1967 with Brian Wilson and initially went by the name of Redwood. Shortly after abandoning the Redwood moniker, the vocalists hired a group of backing musicians – Michael Allsup on guitar, Floyd Sneed on drums, Joe Schermie from the Cory Wells Blues Band on bass, and Jimmy Greenspoon on keyboards–and soon became one of the most successful bands in the United States during the late 1960s and early 1970s.

"One" is a song written by Harry Nilsson and made famous by Three Dog Night whose cover in 1969 reached number 5 on the Billboard chart. The song is known for its opening line "One is the loneliest number that you'll ever do."

Nilsson wrote the song after calling someone and getting a busy signal. He stayed on the line listening to the "beep,beep,beep,beep..." tone, writing the song. The busy signal became the opening notes of the song.

Posted coordinates will bring you to the entrance of a new and quite undeveloped park called Gateway Park within the Dallas city limits. Solve this easy puzzle and go find the waterproof matchstick holder which hangs very near the solution.
