David Moye is a journalist with 20 years experience writing on offbeat subjects. He is the former senior editor of Wireless Flash, a news agency that provided The Daily Show, Good Morning America and many other shows with guest booking and news segments.
The man who sang hits like 1973′s “Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree” and 1970′s “Knock Three Times” in the trio Tony Orlando & Dawn, was scheduled to perform Friday night in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and will have a final concert March 22 at the“I’m not retiring from show business,” Orlando, who turns 80 on April 4, told HuffPost. “I’ve reinvented myself many times, and now I want to flex my creative muscles writing.
But success was a long time coming, and, as Orlando said, required a lot of reinvention. He started out as a teen idol in the early 1960s with two Top 40 hits,“John Lennon came up to me one year at the Grammys and joked, ‘Tony, and to think we thought ‘Bless You’ was funky.” The song’s success pushed the group into the pop culture stratosphere. After that, the band had another old-timey hit in “Sweet Gypsy Rose,” a catchy tune about man searching for his wife, who’s ditched her family to become a burlesque dancer.
Orlando ― and Dawn’s ― star faded in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and the band broke up in the late 1970s, though there have been reunions. Would you join us to help keep our stories free for all? Your contribution of as little as $2 will go a long way.
