It's been 51 years. A bygone era. Long time passing. There will never again be a 1973, but only in our memories dreams fantasies for those of us that lived it and still alive to remember it. A much better greater America then. A much different era different time different styles different values different music different country.
I was 3 when this came out, but it was a favourite of my parents. I listened to it to remind me of the old times, now I listen to it because it's a great song.
La primera ves que lo escuché tenía 11 y nunca supe cómo se llamaba el tema y mucho menos su autor. Y las veces que escuchaba en la radio nunca decías quien lo cantaba. Hasta hoy 30 años después 🎉🎉🎉 y yo Feliz
This is the type of songs that is necessary to listen to nowadays. Its lyrics speak to us of beautiful values such as fidelity, solidarity, the determination to correct mistakes, the wonderful company of the family. I love its music, its lyrics. God bless the singer and songwriters
All those things have been traded for hatred , envy, distrust, violence and anger. They've stolen our birthright and got away with it in the name of equity. Really sad for the new generation.
@@daveb2280 I thought this song was about a man who returned from prison? ( I'm coming home I've done my time, I´m really still in prison and my love she holds the key ). To me this is a positive song and it gives me a positive feeling.
I came here after watching a clip of Tony Orlando and Dawn, The Final Concert, 3/22/2024. Times have changed and so have we. But the music stays the same and keeps us young.
I did, too. I love some of these videos that take me back to my youth. Especially the 4 years I spent in the service. I was lucky enough to go to a Bee Gees concert during that time. I believe it was the one not long after their Fever album released.
My cousin was in prison many many years ago he came home, and we put yellow ribbons around the trees in the backyard for him and played this song, and he walked through the gates of the backyard. It’s such a beautiful song for prisoners to come home I’m from Sydney Australia xxx
@@geraldlynn1827 say what? one of satan's biggest lies that people say.. .I never killed anyone. If you were born on this planet then you deserve hell like me and everyone else. "for no one is righteous, no not one" "for by God's Grace we are saved through faith, not by works, it is the free gift of God so that no one can boast of their salvation."
@@JohnSmith-uy7sv Dont really understand this stuff! Why do we need hell because we are born on earth? Why are we born in sin? And if God made us is he not at fault that he put us here in sin? Besides, my life has had its fair share of troubles and I dont see this as hell because. we need all kinds of experiences to make it well rounded life! End of the day, its how you manage your thoughts and emotions in my opinion.
Esta hermosa canción la cantábamos en los 70 con mi enamorada y en los 80 me casé con ella hoy seguimos juntos octubre de 2023 hemos cumplido 70 años de edad y juntos hasta la Eternidad con prurito amor
И даже в ссср я подростком через глушилки слушал по радио эти музыкальные шедевры. Американцы, огромнок вам спасибо за то, что вы создали восхитительный мир современной музыкальной культуры! 👍👍👍🇺🇸
Memories of my mum and dad playing this. I'm 40 I last seen you when I was 25 dad. I miss you I've nearly took a trip up there a few times. I'm assuming it was you I seen during my brain surgery ❤❤❤❤ miss you dad 😢❤
that would be satan. It is not Biblical to see the dead. There will be no marriage in heaven. we will all be as brothers and sister in Jesus Christ. It is Biblical. If you know Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and savior. If not, then you spend eternity in the lake of fire with satan and all of his followers.
@@reshondaparker8286 1 Corinthians 15:58 New Living Translation 58 So, my dear brothers and sisters, be strong and immovable. Always work enthusiastically for the Lord, for you know that nothing you do for the Lord is ever useless. 2 Timothy 4:5 New Living Translation 5 But you should keep a clear mind in every situation. Don’t be afraid of suffering for the Lord. Work at telling others the Good News, and fully carry out the ministry God has given you. 2 Timothy 4:2 New Living Translation 2 Preach the word of God. Be prepared, whether the time is favorable or not. Patiently correct, rebuke, and encourage your people with good teaching.
Repent of your sins and believe on the Lord Yeshua Christ and you shall be saved. Believe that the Lord Yeshua Christ has died for your sins on the cross and rose from the tomb three days later and repent through Christ to your Father in heaven and you shall be saved. And pray the Holy Spirit fill you and your life be led by the Holy Spirit of God.
@@OriginalMasters Your comment was uncreative and uninspired, I must say. Compose a superior, hepper parody, if you can ... which (being a mere querulous kvetch) you can't.
Love your comment, l was 5yrs old and can remember vividly hearing this song everywhere...funnily enough l can even remember knock three times which was a couple of years earlier...wonderful 😂
As a young man I was travelling WITH my family. For 4 years we went from MONTREAL TO Sydney Aystralia with MY father and MOM.. Job transfers.. When we were returning to 🍁 Canada my father tape REcorded this song and sent it family and friends we'll be home soon. HE passed away A year later.. When I play this song I tear up even 50 yrs later... Still love you Dad. .. I really miss you❤❤❤❤❤
I remember listening to this song on the radio as I was driving through Ohio one beautiful summer Sunday around1973. And then I remember a few years later they played this song when the Iranian Hostages came home. So moving.
Living in the past makes those wonderful memories last. How could anyone leave behind those joyful and uplifting moments of the past? If living in the past makes me an outcast. I will gladly remain one.
I concurr ! Thank you military men a nd women for your self less sacrifice for love of country and your dedication to duty and your families and friends sacrifice as well. 🇺🇸👍🇺🇸😉🇺🇸❤️🇺🇸
Buenas noches desde España. Todavía recuerdo cuando ví este video en la televisión Española, allá por 1974. Compre el single inmediatamente. Todavía lo conservo. Gracias a las nuevas tecnologías, volvía a verlo gracias a youtube. Siempre lo recordaré. Muchas gracias Tony Orlando.
THIS SONG JUST HIT ME RIGHT IN THE HEART, BROUGHT BACK SO MANY MEMORIES , LORD THESE TEARS ARE FLOWING, I WAS 8 YRS OLD I'M NOW 57YRS OLD DECEMBER 13 1965 , ME & MY SISTER REALLY LOVE THIS SONG ...THANK YOU WHO EVER POSTED THIS SONG, MAY GOD OR YOUR GOD CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MY BROTHER, MY SISTER
I remember this song back in the days due to the military men coming home!!!! After this song popularity, everyone was putting yellow ribbons on trees for our military men!!! Good old days and era!!! I will Never forget!!!
I love the meaning behind this song. The man's girlfriend was loyal and patient for his return and she showed him that she still loved him and she was waiting for him so she tied 100 yellow ribbons around the old oak tree. Love is patient.
I’m 56 and this reminds me of going to the working man’s club in east London. Fantastic days.. everyone up dancing to a band singing this, along with ‘knock 3 times on the ceiling if you want me…twice on the pipe, if the answer is no’. My kids have missed out on so much
That is true it looks like they kept the business professional, as it should have been some girls can not get in a group with a man or men they want a date that is when it goes wrong and they no longer can sing with them, but according to one comment they had their last concert last month and they sound good.
That is a sad time when something is gone that we once knew in our lives specially if it was done when we were young, those two women along with him were amazing.@@annagates8461
@@annagates8461 Nice that you had a chance to go their voices do not change it does not matter how old they are and when you hear the songs it brings back memories of a young time in your life what you were doing who you were with I was young had a young wife and family wife gone now and kids are older too.
This song reminds me of my childhood and their show. My family used to sit around and watch the show. Thelma Hopkins was the comedic part of the show. She was brilliant. :)
@@karlerasure Yes, it is important. I'm sure that deep down you would hate it if someone misspelled your first name. I don't believe you if you say that it wouldn't bother you. I always let someone know if he or she misspells my first name and my last name.
One of the best and memorable billboard hot 100 # 1, ever. Simply a classic. It should be awarded by the National Library of Congress as culturally significant due to its long lasting impact in American songbook
Vintage 70s Pop! Being Mexican I thought Tony was also Mexican but until his T.V. show with Dawn, I find out he's a Puerto Rican. Awesome vocalist with some beautiful babes as back up! 🤗
By the time I get to the third verse, I'm in tears, every time. Not just one, but a hundred yellow ribbons around the tree. And I can see him wanting to look, but being afraid to, and then hearing a stir at first, that quickly grows to loud cheering, and he looks and still can hardly believe it. And then he says he's finally going home. At that moment, he is finally free. He can let go of his past; he realizes his bad choices and terrible mistakes did not cost him the relationship with the person he loves. Even after three years. And on a side note, I was 9 in 1980, and the U.S. hostages were in Iran, and there were yellow ribbons around oak trees all around, in hopes and prayer for the safe return of the hostages. I remember it like it was yesterday.
Yes, the year is 1973, the city Chattnooga-TENN, the car white 69 mustang, inside color blue, the tag 4N9323 , and the guy FRANK PLAZZIO , this music was my favorite, and those were the best year ever, and I was just 26 years old...........
I was a kid in the 1970's.I remember this song my mom & aunts played this song ...I always thought Tony Orlando& Freddie Prince Jr. were brothers.They look so much alike...I miss the 1970's..All my family was alive then & close knit .The good ole days
This is one of a multitude of songs that I admired before I was 6. Born 1972. But it was like in my Top 3. Then my Twin Brother chose this song at the Funeral of our Father. So secretly it was our number 1.
What a song! I can't believe that Tied Yellow Ribbon Around The Ole Oak Tree will celebrating fifty years: 1973-2023! I can for sure that Greyhound bus got a free advertising in video right here on RU-vid Channel! Thank you Tony Orlando and Dawn for a wonderful song after all these years later for sure!
This song is still being played 50 years from the time it was recorded...even Tony thought it was corny but went withe he classic multi million selling song.
This song never gets boring, one of the longest track names, Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree, couldn't find the other TOTP version anymore here on yt, this song keeps stuck in your head, good artist
Preciosa canción y yo tenía un añito en 1973 ahora estoy por cumplir 50 años ocea esta canción tiene 50 años o un poquito más waw.Y me encanta esta canción un tesoro tiene medio siglo.Y se sigue escuchando preciosa.Dios mío.Que maravilla que bendición. Mil gracias a este artista.♥️🌹👍
This is very catchy and lifts the spirits of the listener. It was a number one hit here in the UK and remember it well when it was played the radio. It is still played and enjoyed today in 2023.
