--TIE A YELLOW RIBBON 'ROUND THE OL OAK TREE
--Tony Orlando and Dawn / approx 1975~~

--Several comments were made on google, who really loved this song and dedicated it to their mother, or others who have since passed on. It's a really catchy tune, and happy ending.
(Sorry they took the other post down, earlier. But this is much better, as you get to see who Tony Orlando and Dawn (acting team) were.
