Tony Orlando left speechless and in tears: Part 1 of the epic interview

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Tony Orlando, Superstar Recording Artist and Entertainer About Harvey's guest: Today’s special guest, Tony Orlando, is one of America’s most beloved singers, who’s been entertaining us for the past 6 decades – starting as a 15 year old member of the doo-wop group “The Five Gents”, then as a teenage heartthrob solo artist with his hits “Halfway to Paradise” and “Bless You”. And then, after spending several years as a successful producer, record company and music publishing executive, he quite accidentally returned to singing, and unexpectedly went to #1 on the charts, which led him to create the phenomenally successful group, “Tony Orlando and Dawn”. They released 20 Top 40 singles including “Candida”, “Knock 3 Times”, “Vaya Con Dios”, “Say Has Anybody Seen My Sweet Gypsy Rose”, “He Don’t Love You Like I Love You”, “Cupid”, “Midnight Love Affair”, and everybody’s favourite, “Tie a Yellow Ribbon ‘Round the Ole Oak Tree”. That song spent over a month in the #1 spot on the pop music charts and is one of the most recorded songs in history, with over 1,000 cover versions. The song won a Grammy Award in 1974 and was named song of the year at the American Music Awards. In fact, in 2018, Billboard Magazine ranked “Tie a Yellow Ribbon” at #46 on its list of top 100 songs of all time. Our guest, along with his wonderfully talented singing partners Telma Hopkins and Joyce Vincent Wilson, hosted their own TV prime time variety show, “The Tony Orlando and Dawn” show, which ran for 4 seasons. SInce 1977, our guest resumed his solo career, starring in TV movies including “300 Miles for Stephanie” and “The Rosemary Clooney Story”, in which he portrayed Rosemary Clooney’s husband, José Ferrer. He also did a highly successful “Tony Orlando and Dawn” reunion tour. He starred on Broadway twice, in “Barnum”, and “Smokey Joe’s Café”. And he continues to headline in Las Vegas, Branson Missouri, and touring all over the country. In 2002 he wrote a highly compelling, brutally honest and deeply poignant, intimate memoir entitled, “Halfway to Paradise”, which is truly one of the most memorable celebrity memoirs I’ve ever read. He has won the Casino Entertainer of the Year Award, the Best Las Vegas All Around Entertainer Award 4 times, and, prior to that, 3 times in Atlantic City. He’s won the Jukebox Artist of the Year Award, The Ellis Island Medal of Honor, and he received The Bob Hope Award for Excellence in Entertainment from the Congressional Medal of Honor Society, acknowledging his efforts on behalf of United States veterans. And, in 1990, he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
