Tony Orlando is celebrating his 81st birthday today. As a number of online tributes attest, he is one of the most acclaimed singers of his generation.
Popular singer Tony Orlando (Knock Three Times, Candida, ...) has always liked to keep a bit of himself hidden from view. At 81st birthday, he remains a man of many facets.
Orlando, a cultural icon
Born Michael Anthony Orlando Cassavitis in New York on April 3, 1944, his career spans an arc over many different eras and tastes in American history. Orlando's not just a great singer, he's an inspiration, an icon and a successful business man. At this point in his career, there seems to be little Tony hasn't done.
And we've got a feeling the next 12 months are going to be even bigger and better for Tony Orlando as he promises more to come. After all, he's only 81.
Happy Birthday, Tony, you're the best!
