Book Review: Tony Bares His Soul
Summary: 5 Stars
Tony Orlando has provided us with a look at his life from growing up near Hell's Kitchen in New York City where he began as a doo wop singer until he settled down in the Ozarks of Missouri during the 21st century. In between Tony relates stories of those who helped to get him started in music such as Don Kirshner located at 1650 Broadway where several music publishers and record companies had their headquarters. His heyday as a performer, of course, was during the mid 1970's when his television show with Dawn was a weekly favorite. Interesting stories regarding guests such as Jackie Gleason, Danny Thomas, George Burns, and others are related in this part of the book. It is also a story of infidelity and heartbreak. The downward spiral began with his introduction to cocaine thanks to the lovable Fred Sanford, Redd Foxx, and the death of close friend Freddie Prinze to a suicide. His experiences at a Massachusetts mental hospital are included along with his assistance to the suffering Murray the K during his final days. However, the story of Tony Orlando has a happy ending to date with his marriage to his present wife and move to Missouri. Each of us are a part of all that we have met and Tony Orlando gives ample credit to those who helped him along the way throughout his life. This is an easy to read book and anyone who enjoyed his television show during the 1970's will enjoy this book. By the way, purchase the DVD set available at Amazon and relive those enjoyable times as well.
