Legendary singer Tony Orlando, who is retiring from live performing with a big concert this week, told Newsmax on Tuesday that even though he's had many hits in 64 years in show business, "Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree," remains his favorite as it has become "part of the folklore" of America bringing veterans home.
Further, Orlando said that song helped bring in between $100 million and $200 million during three shows he performed on behalf of veterans. "I would have been happy with 64 weeks in show business, so 64 years is a good run," Orlando said. "What I'm about to do is flex the creative muscle, write a couple of Broadway shows, write some screenplays, write a novel. The writing aspect of me is something I can now pay attention to."
