No entertainer can excite an audience like Tony Orlando. Tony recently celebrated the 30th anniversary of his recording of Tie A Yellow Ribbon 'Round The Ole Oak Tree. From million selling records (five number one hits), a popular television variety series, movies and Broadway, Tony Orlando has conquered every facet of show business. Orlando began hitting the charts at the age of 16 with Halfway to Paradise and Bless You. Tony was then coaxed into putting his voice on a demo record for a song titled Candida. The record was released under the name of, Dawn.  Orlando then recorded Knock Three Times. The song was the top song of 1971, selling over six million copies. Amazingly enough, Tony hadn't even begun to scratch the surface. 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. He has been a recipient of three American Music Awards and a People's Choice Award. Tony was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1990. Since 1993, Orlando has been a resident of Branson, Missouri, where he has performed more than 2,000 show and has been named Branson's Entertainer and Vocalist of the Year.
