"Jimmy Greenspoon died from cancer Wednesday at age 67.
The Three Dog Night keyboard player joined the band in 1968 and had been working with them until last October,
when he took a medical leave of absence to pursue treatment for metastatic melanoma.
The band made the announcement of his death on Facebook.
“We are very saddened at the passing of our dear friend and longtime band mate, Jimmy Greenspoon.
Jimmy died peacefully at home today surrounded by his family.
Please keep him and his loved ones in your prayers and your hearts,” the statement read.
The group is best known for its 1960s and 1970s hits "Joy to the World," "Mama Told Me (Not to Come)" and "Black and White."
Throughout his career, Greenspoon also performed with artists like Eric Clapton, Jimi Hendrix and the Beach Boys.
Greenspoon is survived by his wife, Susie, daughter, Heather Miller, and two granddaughters."
