Hoyt Axton's first album "The Balladeer" in 1962 was performed live at the Troubadour in Hollywood and featured "Greenback Dollar" (Kingston Trio). In 1971 he issued "Joy to the World" with hits like the title tune, "Never Been to Spain" (Three Dog Night) and "The Pusher" (Steppenwolf).
While opening for Three Dog Night and Hoyt promoting "My Griffin is Gone" the group had their exposure to "Joy to the World" and took the song to the top of the charts in 1972. In 1975 Ringo Starr got to the top five with Hoyt's "The No-No Song".

You can see the multi-talented Mr. Axton the actor in movies too: Gremlins, Kingfish and one of my favourites, The Black Stallion.
