"Knock Three Times" is a popular song credited simply to "Dawn", obscuring the actual performers. The song was released as a single which hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in January 1971 and eventually sold six million copies. It reached No. 2 on 'Billboard's "Easy Listening" survey.[1] Outside the US, "Knock Three Times" also claimed the No. 1 spot on the UK Singles Chart.[2]
"Knock Three Times" has roots in the Tokens. The first Dawn song "Candida" was produced by Tokens member Hank Medress and his business partner Dave Appell in May 1970. Session musicians and some Tokens members sang and played drums on the track. Medress did not like the sound of the lead singer, and replaced him with his friend Tony Orlando who had already enjoyed limited success singing "Bless You" and "Halfway to Paradise" in 1961. By 1970, Orlando had abandoned his singing career and was working as an executive at April-Blackwood Music, a subsidiary of Columbia Records. He was hoping for a promotion which made him worried about the conflict of interest inherent in his recording vocals for competitor Bell Records, so he only agreed to sing anonymously. "Candida" turned out to be a hit song, and Bell asked Orlando to sing another tune anonymously. Dawn was not an actual musical group at the time; the name was chosen because Bell Records executive Steve Wax had a daughter named Lisa Dawn Wax.[3][4]
"Candida" co-writer Irwin Levine joined with Larry Brown to write "Knock Three Times". As "Candida" was peaking on the US pop chart in October 1970, Medress brought Orlando back to the studio with backing singers Jay Siegel of the Tokens, Robin Grean, and Toni Wine.[3] Wine remembers Linda November singing on this session.[5] The singers were veterans of the "Candida" recording session, and Wine was co-writer of "Candida" with Levine. They recorded "Knock Three Times" together.[3] This was the first time Orlando met any of the musicians involved with "Candida".[5]
"Knock Three Times" hit No. 1 in January 1971. Bell Records promised Orlando royalties from the song, and he confessed his outside involvement to his employer, who told him it was fine as long as he did not tour, and instructed him to put some April-Blackwood Music songs on the associated album, Candida. Orlando agreed at first, but soon quit his job to begin touring. To promote the song, a touring version of Dawn was needed. Producer Tony Camillo recommended the duo of cousins Telma Hopkins and Joyce Vincent, who expected only a short employment contract as Dawn. The women liked working with Orlando, and after the tour was finished, the three recorded more hit songs as Tony Orlando and Dawn, starting with 1973's "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree".[3]
The song was covered by Billy "Crash" Craddock in 1971 and became a No. 3 country hit.[6] Craddock's version had a faster tempo and included Cajun fiddles.[7] The song largely introduced Craddock and his country rock-styled sound to a wider country audience, and began a string of hits that continued into the early 1980s.
"Knock Three Times" appears in several motion pictures including Now and Then.
Several Larry Craig–themed parodies (all titled "Tap Three Times") were recorded by various artists such as Paul and Storm and the Capitol Steps in 2007 following the senator's sex scandal in which he was arrested for tapping his foot (to allegedly solicit sex) in a public airport restroom.[8][9][10][11][12]
