Shambala (song)
"Shambala" (a title derived from a place name also spelled Shamballa or Shambhala) is a song written by Daniel Moore and made famous by two almost simultaneous releases in 1973, the better-known but slightly later Three Dog Night version, which reached number 3 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, and a lesser-known version by B.W. Stevenson.
==Three Dog Night==
The well-known cover of this song by the rock band Three Dog Night appeared in 1973 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, on the top 40 from the beginning of June through the end of August, reaching #3 in both the pop singles and adult contemporary categories,〔 #1 on Cashbox, and an isolated week at #1 on WLS.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WLS 890 Hit Parade )〕 Headed toward the Hot 100's summit in late July, had it not run out of steam, "Shambala" would have completed an uncommon distinction of a Hot 100 chart-topper for each of four consecutive years for the group. The song later appeared on ''Cyan'', Three Dog Night's ninth album, and subsequently on numerous anthologies and compilation albums.〔〔() Last fm music, "Shambala"〕
Although the lyrics of "Shambala" draw on a theme from Eastern mysticism, ''Allmusic'' notes the "very strong gospel feeling" of the album ''Cyan'' is most evident on this song. This comment may be based on both the instrumentation, including the characteristic gospel keyboard organ sounds that accompany the chorus, which features the repeated, unmistakable dog howls for which the group has long been famous, and the bluesy vocals of Cory Wells. ''Allmusic'' calls this hit single "one of the group's finest later period records."〔
