 Who puts these collections together? May 10, 2009
BMG/Heritage's "Platinum & Gold" series was, to quote the insert about the series included in each disc, "The #1 Place to Find The "Best Of". Well, their Tony Orlando & Dawn disc miserably fails to live up to its own promise. The "digital remastering for the best sound possible" (another quote from the insert) here makes the songs sound harsh and tinny. And considering "Did You Ever Think She'd Run Away From You" and "Carmen" weren't even hits, and could have been replaced by "I Play and Sing" and "Summer Sand", which WERE hits, and that the disc doesn't follow hits-collection protocol (not chronological), this disc falls VERY flat indeed.

 A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANE Sep 18, 2007
This CD contained all of the hits of Tony Orlando and Dawn. Each melody brought a smile and a memory to my face. If you liked the group in the 70's, you will thoroughly enjoy this collection of all-time favorites.

 Tuneful vocal pop Jul 27, 2007
This collection contains most of Dawn's hits, like Knock Three Times, Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Old Oak Tree, Candida, What Are You Doing Sunday?, Who's In The Strawberry Patch With Sally and Say, Has Anybody Seen My Sweet Gypsy Rose?, plus some lesser known album tracks.
They were the masters of melodic vocal pop and they really shine on those hits, especially the aforementioned Knock Three Times which is a brilliant piece of power pop. Some of the album tracks are so-so, but overall this album takes one back to a happier era of tuneful pop.
Dawn were Tony Orlando and two gorgeous female vocalists, and they certainly made their mark with their particular brand of seventies sing-along sounds. If you like vocal pop with personality, you'll love this album.
