The Morning Dew were formed from the remains of a collapsed folk-rock band called The Toads. Two early single releases, "No More" and "Be a Friend," were local successes in 1967, and the group was signed to Morris Levy's Roulette label in early 1969, for which they cut an entire album of material before disbanding later that year. Collectables has reissued a CD collection, and Gear Fab has released the folk-like "Sing Out" from their unissued late 1968 sessions.

"Morning Dew", also known as "(Walk Me Out in the) Morning Dew", is a post-apocalyptic folk-rock song written by Canadian singer Bonnie Dobson in 1962.
According to Dobson in a 1993 interview, "Morning Dew" was inspired by the film On the Beach.
Fred Neil heard Dobson's song and re-arranged it to suit his own style. Tim Rose heard Neil's version and then recorded his own in 1966, adding himself as co-writer. Through a loophole in US copyright law, Rose was able to claim royalties. Dobson has consistently questioned Rose's right to a co-writing credit.
