harmonies of founding members Danny Hutton and Cory Wells and an excellent ear for quality material. “One” became
the band's first Top Ten hit in 1969, while “Mama Told Me (Not to Come)” hit number one a year later. “Joy to the
World” became the group’s biggest hit in 1971, spending six weeks on top of the pop charts, and their streak continued
