 DVD Verdict Review - Tony Orlando And Dawn: The Ultimate Collection
The Tony Orlando and Dawn Show was the surprise hit of July, 1974 and earned the group an extended TV contract that would last through December, 1976.
Orlando would then wrap up each show with his signature musical montage during which he'd wander into the studio audience and connect (figuratively and literally) with those in attendance, having fun and providing what he called a temporary respite from the grief of the day, politics and inflation.
This three-disc boxed set, Tony Orlando and Dawn—The Ultimate Collection features eleven episodes (complete with whimsical animated title sequence), and while that may not be undeniably "ultimate" in light of their 55-episode canon, it makes for a fun collection nonetheless.

Orlando's retirement proved short-lived, and just four months later he made a solo comeback in Las Vegas; Dawn attempted to forge on without him, but enjoyed little success on their own and eventually disbanded.

In a rare transition, Tony became a successful music executive before he was lured back onstage in the early '70s.

Tony Orlando and Dawn were a makeshift pop group with a couple of hits—including 1973's biggest single, "Tie A Yellow Ribbon"—when CBS signed them up for a four-episode summer variety run in 1974.
