		If Tony Orlando had but one wish, it would be a simple one: “To stay as healthy as George Burns and be able to perform for people as long as he did.
		But, Orlando admitted, since that time there have been many other high points in his career, and many of us probably remember most of them –– like Orlando joining with two friends who sang background vocals as they recorded their first number together, Candida.
		Orlando, of Hispanic and Greek origins, said that although he’s thrilled with the way his long career in show business has gone, he regrets not doing a little more acting.

		Orlando began his showbiz career as a teen heartthrob with the single "Halfway to Paradise" and had a second successful act as a record company A&R man before he was lured back into the limelight as a performer.
		It's also full of behind-the-scenes detail of how it felt to be at the top of the entertainment heap-with his #1-rated CBS show, Tony's life in front of and behind the camera was grand, but sometimes not all it seemed.
		Orlando succumbed to one of the familiar antidotes to the pressures of a big life: drug use, with its predictable toll on family and friendships.

	Tony Orlando : Oldies.com
		An engaging, commercially minded singer, Orlando's early success came in 1961 when he scored two US Top 40 entries with "Halfway To Paradise" and "Bless You".
		The former, a superb Gerry Goffin/Carole King composition, was later successfully covered by Billy Fury, but Orlando enjoyed an emphatic UK hit when the latter reached number 5.
		Subsequent releases, including "Happy Times" (1961) and "Chills" (1962) were less impressive and Orlando began forging a backroom career in the music business, eventually rising to general manager of Columbia Records' April/Blackwood publishing division.
