Tony Orlando had many chart hits, both as a soloist and as a member of the group Tony Orlando and Dawn.  "Knock Three Times," "Candida," "Tie A Yellow Ribbon," Gypsy Rose," "He Don't Love You," and more were all big hits for the trio.

Tony's exuberant personality was tailor made for television and he was awarded his own variety show in 1974.  Telma Hopkins and Joyce Vincent Wilson made up Dawn.  The show was received with good ratings and ran until 1976.  The show's format was patterned after the recently canceled Sonny and Cher Show.

How many remember the Tony Orlando and Dawn Variety Show?
