Product Description

Description

Although Tony Orlando is best known for his 1970s lite pop material with the group Dawn, the New York City-born pop singer (aka Michael Anthony Orlando Cassavitis) began his career as a teen performer in the '60s. This collection focuses on Orlando's early-'60s recordings for the Epic label, including hits such as the ornate title track and the emotive "Bless You". Fans of '60s pop and blue-eyed soul should gobble up these 27 tracks--many of which came straight from the magical Brill Building pipeline--which present Orlando in his formative teen idol mode.

4.0 out of 5 stars Before the dawn of "Dawn", 19 Jan 2009
By Anton Coy "Ant" (Johannesburg, South Africa) - See all my reviews
Before he was coaxed out of retirement to front the slick confections produced by Dawn, Tony Orlando had already had a previous career as a soloist. Ranging from smooth balladeer to "white soul" in the more uptempo numbers, he had already established himself as a fine interpreter of a number of high-quality songs. This CD focusses on his output at Epic between 1961 and 1964 and is a clear testimony to his qualities as a solo aritst. With a poor record in terms of chart success, made worse in the UK by the covers made by Billy Fury, Orlando packed in the music business as a performer during the mid-Sixties, before his re-emergence with Dawn. For those people who were unaware of what he had done before, this well-annotated CD will come as something of a revelation. Whether it's slower numbers such as "Bless You" and "Halfway To Paradise" or the rather more funky "Talkin' About You" and (especially) "Chills", you will only be disappointed by a few duds (mainly B sides) that were thrown in to give a fuller account of his career at Epic. That's the only reason I lopped off one star. For the rest, it's very enjoyable and great value for money.
