Knock Three Times

Knock Three Times by Tony Orlando and Dawn was a UK number 1 hit on Saturday, May 15, 1971 spending 5 week(s) at the top of the UK charts. There was no "Dawn" when this song was recorded. Two producers, Hank Medress and Dave Appell, recorded the song "Candida" with an artist they were working with named Frankie Paris for Bell Records. Label boss Larry Utell didn't like Paris' vocal, so the producers persuaded their old friend Tony Orlando (then working for the publishing arm of CBS Records) to record it.
