"Shambala" is a song written by Daniel Moore and made famous by two near-simultaneous releases in 1973: the better-known but slightly later recording by Three Dog Night, which reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100, and a version by B. W. Stevenson. Its title derives from a mythical place-name also spelled Shamballa or Shambhala.
Three Dog Night's ecstatic mystic-gospel singalong "Shambala" peaked at #3 behind "Bad, Bad Leroy Brown".
