"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]
