Randy Miller: I, too, am 52 years old. My parents, big brother (who was a freshman or a sophomore in high school at the time), and I were living on Davis Monthon AFB in Tucson, Arizona when this song was released. I know the human brain will store random information and even the most unexpected memories which, I suppose, makes our species so unique. But after almost three decades, a very dear close friend who recently passed away from advanced pancreatic cancer played this song for me and, as I watched the vinyl record spinning around and around, I was immediately transferred back to 1973 (or did it come out in 1974?) I was suddenly holding my father's hand as our family crossed St. Mary's Blvd to enter and attend Catholic Church services. This church was located on the other side of the road (ac. This memory is, at best, two seconds long before disappearing back to my subconscious and all I am left with is how good it makes me feel. Thank you for your post/comment.

This song truly defined a specific time period in U.S. history. It has multiple meanings depending on what age you were.

Below is an excerpt from an interview of the writer of the song: Story Behind the Song: 'Tie a Yellow Ribbon' Dave Paulson The Tennessean L. Russell Brown, left, and Bart Herbison A tale printed in Reader's Digest leaped off the page for songwriter L. Russell Brown. He shared the romantic Civil War-era story with his songwriting partner Irwin Levine, and together they wrote one of the biggest hits of the '70s: Tony Orlando and Dawn's "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree." Brown shared the story behind the song with Bart Herbison of Nashville Songwriters Association International. Bart Herbison: People that weren't there don't remember the magnitude of "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree." It was truly a cultural phenomenon. The song was on charts forever. It was a global masterpiece. Stories were written about it. TV shows use that thing. Irwin Levine was your co-writer. How did this song materialize? L. Russell Brown: I was reading the Reader's Digest. … I read it from front to back. There was an article … it was about a soldier coming home from Andersonville Prison in the Civil War and he was going to Pennsylvania. He told his girl in a letter, "I'll understand if I should stay on the stagecoach. But if I shouldn't, tie a big yellow handkerchief on the big oak tree outside of town. And then I'll know if it's there, I should get off, but I'll understand that you found someone else in the last three years." He couldn't bear to look at it himself. So he told the other people in the stagecoach and the driver to please look. … When they got to the big oak tree, everybody yelled and screamed. He looked out the window, and it was covered with yellow handkerchiefs. A chill went up my neck. I said, "My God!" … I said, "Boy, that would make a great song."

THIS SONG IS STILL A PURE CLASSIC AFTER 49 YEARS.

Proud to be born on the 70's unforgettable decade.

I was only in my single digits when this song came out. And I’ve LOVED it forever!! My parents used to watch the Tony Orlando and Dawn show all the time when I was a kid. AMAZING MEMORIES!! ❤️

6 . . . young but old enough to remember this music . . . Hell I was 6 in 1973 and I can even remember my first grade teacher name . . Mrs Inman and she was great . . . So yeah I remember this song very well from my childhood . . . And even now at 55 years old . . I still love this song. . . So 6 or 55 this is my kind of music and that's never going to change . . . I was young in 1973 . . . But atleast I was there in 1973 and that was as much apart of my life as today is . . . A lot of younger people only wish they had been around in 1973 . . . We were lucky and were there . . . We don't have to make excuses just because we were young and 1973 . . . We may have been young in '73 but it doesn't mean we were stupid and don't remember any of it .

TV was far more diverse than it is today. While it was a big deal to have people of other races on the show, their skin colort wasn't the reason why they were there but the music or other performance that they were there to put on.

So many things have changed since then, but this one is still a great song to hear and enjoy.

You do not need a lot of hits you just need a MEGA Hit and this was a MEGA HIT.....played on every station and bought by millions.

It's amazing how music can take us back to a very special time in our lives and thank goodness it does.

Saw Tony in February and he still has a great voice and show.

Always loved his songs! Such a great talent!

Just looked him up. He's did well. Cleaned up, found faith, and aged well. Good to hear as all my other 70's rock heros are dying, depressed, and looking bad....

I saw him in Lowell massachusetts for a show on his birthday and for little more you could go to his birthday party after. I think it was his 60th. Everyone could meet and talk to him after. I thought it would be a quick thing. He is such a great guy. He met and talked with everyone for as long as they wanted. He took photos, signed autographs. I didn’t get home until 3 in the morning. What a fantastic time. He is so personable.

Seriously?????

Song is so great. There's a sense of sad acceptance to the possibility that his love wont want him anymore after being away for so long. Just ONE single yellow ribbon is all he needs. And he comes to find the tree full of them, idk why that always hits me in the feels so hard.

A timeless classic. 😊

Wonderful song with great melody and touching sentiment...Tony was great singing this...so great Frank Sinatra felt compelled to record it as one of the classic songs of the era...Dawn was fabulous too.

Wow such a sweet, happy, fun loving song. A simpler time back then and perhaps a better time too.

Cuantos de nosotros quisiéramos viajar al pasado y volver a vivir esos lindos momentos que nos marcaron todo la vida

I sang that song nearly every day walking to my first elementary school. Now I'm watching it on a cordless phone. 😮.. it's been 50 long years

Wow! Tony Orlando and Dawn sound so good! Brings back alot of great memories!

This is a classic and iconic song, I grew up when this song came out. I feel nostalgic listening to it.

Eu tinha 14 anos nessa época !E quando tocava nas radios eu aumentava o volume porque essa musica é simplesmente maravilhosa!Que saudades saudades!😢👏

I can still see my mom and dad dancing in the kitchen to this song. When it came on the radio, the two of them would stop whatever they were doing and dance to this song. When my father passed (1982), I tied a yellow ribbon around his coffin.

Such a great song wish we still had singers like that these days

They played this on radio so often. I got sick of it, but it's a great song. Really brings back memories.

This song just gives me the best feelings of my childhood: I sang this song at school (P.S. 174 in NY) in honor of the hostages returning home from Iran back in 1982. Beautiful rhythm and so happy that I got the chance to see the whole world, back in the 80s sharing just positive feelings and just working together. Thank you!

My late mother loved this record still makes cry thinking back to the good old days

my brother who passed 10 yrs ago loved this song and so do i! Maria in Sweden.

Much love from USA and another Scandinavian

What a blast from the past! I was five years old when this song was playing on the radio!

I was seven years old when this song first came out! I was young but I could relate and put myself in the shoes of that man coming home hoping to see his loved one.The way this song was put together is great, it builds up with hope and almost despair and ends in unexpected disbelief and Joy, he was expecting to see no ribbons, and if not, maybe just one ribbon, but she loved him so much she tied one hundred ribbons around the tree. What a great storey inside a great song! I have always enjoyed this song so much! Sadly they do not write them like this anymore.!

When I listen to this song, the singing ability, the melody, and the chorus are so good that I’m addicted to it.

They were freakin huge, HUGE in the early 1970s. I remember my family went on a cross country trip driving from New York to California, and every radio station and juke box were playing T.O. and Dawn. Same with Jim Croce as well.

Just beautiful, I am listening to this song in 2019. Still love it, gracias.

I was just a baby (born in 1971) but Dad always played all these good old songs while I grew up…now they make me cry…I lost Dad in 2020 & I miss him! I still sing along.

Happy 50th anniversary to this great song! It was released right around this time in 1973!(It’s the end of March 2023 as I post my comment.) Here’s to another 50 years for this lively song to live on!!! Furthermore, I’ve been saying-partly to commemorate the “50th anniversary” of this song, and the fact that “it’s been three long years since Covid broke out; will it EVER end?” if I were a songwriter, I’d write a “remake” of this song this year for its 50th anniversary, and acknowledging the fact that “it’s been three long years, when will Covid end?” Or “will it ever be stamped out?” (Simply a remake of this song, on high hopes of putting an end to Covid, much less.) Even though things have come a fairly long way over the past three years, with vaccines and such and things are somewhat back to normal, still it could be even better. I know the premise of this song is the fact that 50 years ago this time those soldiers in the Vietnam war were finally just coming home(hence the Title, as the yellow ribbon symbolizes a soldier’s homecoming), but still, just to be creative if I were a songwriter, to make a remake of this song for its “50th anniversary,” and knowing how fed up everyone is of hearing about Covid, after “three long years.” Kind of like when Elton John wrote his own remake of Candle in the Wind,”Goodbye England’s Rose,” as a tribute to Princess Di when she died.
