Who sings the mid-70's song "Shannon"?

Ok music fans: think back to a time when MEN, in the mid-70's BEFORE the "macho" Disco era, recorded songs in their "femmne" voice tone.

I know "Shannon" was a song about a dog. Yes....sigh....it was 'pop sappy', but a memorable song. I forgot who did it , though....anybody know?

    Henry Gross - Shannon

    ** FYI: Shannon is a dog **

    Another day's at end

    Mama says she's tired again

    No one can even begin to tell her

    I hardly know what to say

    But maybe it's better that way

    If poppa were here I'm sure he'd tell her

    Shannon is gone I heard

    She's drifting out to sea

    She always loved to swim away

    Maybe she'll find an island

    With a shaded tree

    Just like the one in our backyard

    Mama tries hard to pretend

    That things will get better again

    Somehow she's keepin' it all inside her

    But finally the tears fill our eyes

    And I know that somewhere tonight

    She knows how much we really miss her

    Shannon is gone I heard

    She's drifting out to sea

    She always loved to swim away

    Maybe she'll find an island

    With a shaded tree

    Just like the one in our back yard

    Ah....

    Just like the one in our back yard

    Ah....

    Any song that seems to cross genres and generations were almost everyone knows the lyrics but may not know the artist. I just saw a live performance of Breakdown by Tom Petty and I don't think he sang more than the first verse, the crowd took it away. He even said somthing about them "putting him out of a job" cause the whole crowd didn't miss a beat.
