You all remember “Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree” and “Knock Three Times” and “Candida,” and others. These songs were recorded by Tony Orlando and Dawn. “Tie a Yellow Ribbon” became an anthem for service members. Where did the name Dawn come from? How did Orlando team up with Telma Hopkins and Joyce Vincent? Why did Dawn sue Tony? And what’s the story behind tie a yellow ribbon? If Tony sounds like he’s in a bit of a fog, it’s because we woke him up.
