TONY ORLANDO "Lets Salute America"
May 15, 2010
"Entertainer of the Year" No entertainer can move and excite an audience like Tony Orlando. Tony brings to the stage warmth and exhilarating energy that electrifies an audience.
|
|
TONY ORLANDO’s new show “Let’s Salute America” is inspired by America's love of the Yellow Ribbon as a symbol of freedom, hope, homecomings and of course, Tony's number one recording of 1973, "Tie A Yellow Ribbon 'Round The Ole Oak Tree." It was number one for that year, became Orlando's theme song and grew into an American anthem of hope, homecoming, reunion and renewal. The yellow ribbon has welcomed home POWs from Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, the hostages from Iran and the troops from Desert Storm. Veterans are honored each Veterans Day, November 11, in Branson with the Tony Orlando Yellow Ribbon Salute to Veterans. Tony, one of America's enduring and beloved performers, has put together a powerful show that stands up for our country. It's a guaranteed crowd pleaser. The salute includes "Yellow Ribbon," a tribute to George M. Cohan's "Yankee Doodle Dandy," a rendition of Toby Keith's "American (Courtesy of the Red, White and Blue)," Neil Diamond's "America" and Ray Charles' "America The Beautiful." Tony also performs his other big hits such as "Candida," "Knock Three Times" and "Say, Has Anybody Seen My Sweet Gypsy Rose." |

For 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. Tony was one of the first entertainers to be featured as a subject of VH1's Behind the Music in 1998. The episode continues to be aired and received one of the network's highest ratings for the series. Since 1993, Orlando has been a resident of Branson, Missouri, where he has performed more than 2,000 shows. His current performing home in Branson is The Osmond Family Theatre. Tony has been named Branson's Entertainer and Vocalist of the Year.
In addition to Branson, Tony has written and produced musical productions to critical acclaim. In 1998 he created and starred in the show Jukebox Dreams where he took the audience on a doo-wop serenade showing the power of one man's dreams. The show premiered at Harrah's in Atlantic City and later toured to some of the top venues in the country. This winter Tony has a special production set to go for the Christmas season, entitled Santa & Me. |
