The Definitive Collection by Tony Orlando & Dawn certainly brings back memories! When I was young, I always heard them on the radio and I loved their music. Tony Orlando & Dawn were a team and they gave us so much great music; it's awesome to have these songs on CD. The quality of the sound is excellent and I really like that artwork.
"Candida" starts the CD off with Tony Orlando & Dawn performing a wonderful number that has something of a Latin beat; they ace this as effortlessly as if it were mere breathing but of course it really wasn't so easy. Their talents carried them through! "Candida" uses great percussion, drums and guitar in the musical arrangement but wisely the music never steals the show from these singers! A fun filled love song that's also a charmer is ""Knock Three Times;" this song about two lovers sending signals to each other without talking is very sweet and I love every minute of it! "Carmen" is another fine tune; the tune benefits from the steel drum percussion and they deliver this faultlessly.
"Summer Sand" has Tony Orlando & Dawn in their natural element; they deliver this well and I'm very impressed! They handle the tempo and key changes without letting go of a superfluous note; and that's grand. "Vaya Con Dios (May God Be With You)" gets the royal treatment from Tony Orlando & Dawn; "Vaya Con Dios (May God Be with You)" really pushes my buttons and it's a stunning ballad with great harmonizing; Tony Orlando's excellent diction enhances his performance all the more, too!
"You're A Lady" uses the piano and a choir very well; and there's their mega hit "Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round The Ole Oak Tree." This tune got lots and lots of airplay back in the day; and it still deserves much attention for its lovely melody and the sweet lyrics to the song. I also love the Tony Orlando & Dawn huge hit entitled "Say, Has Anybody Seen My Sweet Gypsy Rose." "Say, Has Anybody Seen My Sweet Gypsy Rose" deals with the feelings a man and his family have when a woman ditches them for a burlesque show; and they certainly do this one up right! The keyboard work makes this number shine, too. Similarly, "Who's In The Strawberry Patch With Sally" has quite a fine melody to it; and the keyboard work again brightens up the number even if the lyrics aren't exactly the happiest.
"It Only Hurts When I Try To Smile" gets a most sensitive treatment; and listen for "Steppin' Out (Gonna Boogie Tonight)" What a great number! The guitars work wonders for this tune and they sound wonderful. "Look In My Eyes Pretty Woman" has a very 70's flavor to it; and of course their hit "He Don't Love You Like I Love You" glows brighter than silver and gold combined when these champs do it! "Mornin' Beautiful" is quite a good tune; and the second track of "Carmen" leaves you wanting more.
Tony Orlando & Dawn never let down fans down; and this CD proves just how special they really were. Yes, they could have added a couple more songs here; but this is still a very good album nonetheless. This is a must-have CD for anyone who wants great music from the 1970s; and fans of Tony Orlando & Dawn would do well to get this album. It also makes a strong introductory CD for newcomers just discovering the artistry of Tony Orlando & Dawn.
