Single release by American vocal / pop group Dawn (later known as Dawn featuring Tony Orlando, or: Tony Orlando & Dawn) both tracks taken from the debut album Candida (1970).
The title song was an international hit and topped the charts in several countries and remains their biggest hit. The single is from my parents' record collection given to me at some point in the mid or late 70s. I recall playing this as one of the stable singles on a portable turntable aged 7-10 years old. In hindsight, this is the type of soft pop music directed at parents to their offspring, who would instead listen to hard rock, psychedelic rock, or old school beat.
