Three Dog Fight Over Band Name

Chuck Negron has filed suit against his former Three Dog Night band mates, alleging that they breached a 1990 settlement agreement and have interfered with his career. According to Billboard Bulletin, Negron alleges in the suit, filed March 26 in Los Angeles Superior Court, that Danny Hutton and Cory Wells, along with business manager William McKenzie, prevented him from using the band name, while they continued to perform as Three Dog Night without Negron.

Negron is seeking unspecified punitive damages, injunctive relief, and restitution of the money the other band members made by using the Three Dog Night moniker.
