TONY ORLANDO

No entertainer can move and excite an audience like Tony Orlando. He is one of America’s most endearing and enduring starts.

In 1999 Tony returned to Broadway in the hit musical Smokey Joe’s Café featuring the music of Lieber and Stoller.

Hoping lightening would strike again Medress had Orlando record “Knock Three Times.”: The song not only became number one, it was the top song of 1971, selling over six million copies worldwide. The immense popularity of the song is still evident today. Tony’s recording of the song was featured in the hit movie Now and Then.

Amazingly enough, Tony had not even begun to scratch the surface of his stardom. In 1973 he recorded “tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree. The song was number one for the year, became Orlando’s theme song and grew into an American anthem of hope and homecoming, reunion and renewal.

A string of hits continued including “Sweet Gypsy Rose” :He Don’t Love You” “Who’s in the Strawberry Patch with Sally” “Cupid” “Steppin Out (Gonna Boogie tonight)” and “Mornin Beautiful.”

Orlando then set his sights on television which resulted in his highly rated weekly variety series on CBS. Breaking new ground, it was the first multi-ethnic variety show on television. Orlando of Hispanic and Greek origins and Hopkins and Wilson, African Americans, were an instant hit.

The show, which ran for four seasons, welcomed the biggest names in show business each week as Tony’s guests, including his boyhood idols Jackie Gleason and Jerry Lewis.

The friendship forged by Orlando and Lewis was a strong one. Tony has guested on Jerry’s Labor Day Telethon for 23 years, nine of those as the New York host. Orlando and Lewis also teamed for an unforgettable series of shows in the early 1990’s, taking the stage at the Las Vegas Hilton and Riviera hotels. Only two other entertainers share the distinction of performing with Lewis: Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Jr.

Orlando remains one of America’s best loved personalities. He has been a recipient of three American Awards and a People’s Choice Award. For his outstanding achievements to the entertainment industry Tony was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1990.

Tony has played to packed arenas and for five Presidents. His universal appeal has bridged many a generation gap.
