By K.P. Lynne 
Tony Orlando is as synonymous with America as baseball and apple pie. 
Tony Orlando&rsquo;s family-friendly music has entertained, delighted and inspired fans of all ages for generations.&nbsp;
The vocalist enchants audiences with a plethora of lighthearted genres including Pop, Bubblegum, Jazz, Show Tunes, Swing, R&amp;B, and Americana. 
An extremely versatile talent and jack-of-all-trades, he has simultaneously worked on the business side of the music industry, as a one time executive, talent promoter, producer&nbsp;and vice president&nbsp;at CBS Records, while excelling as a national television variety&nbsp;show star, motion picture actor, Broadway star, #1 recording artist, concert headliner, and accomplished author. 
Tony Orlando has racked up an astonishing number of hit songs, including five Billboard #1 hit singles as part of the musical trio, Tony Orlando and Dawn, including Candida (#1), Knock Three Times (#1), Say, Has Anybody Seen My Sweet Gypsy Rose (#1), Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree 1(#1) and He Don&rsquo;t Love You Like I Love You (#1),
his own unique cover version of the soulful R&amp;B classic by Chicago&rsquo;s very own, Jerry &ldquo;The Iceman&rdquo; Butler, formerly of The Impressions with&nbsp;the late&nbsp;Curtis Mayfield. 
Having recently retired from &ldquo;road touring&rdquo; at 80 Years Young...Tony Orlando is embarking on a wildly exciting new phase of his entertainment career, while remaining the host of WABC Radio&rsquo;s, globally streamed, &ldquo;Saturday Nights with Tony Orlando&rdquo;.
Will Tony Orlando reveal some of his top-secret new career plans on Jam&rsquo; n Java?
 If anyone can get Tony to spill the beans...Robby Robinson can! 
A staunch supporter of our military and veterans, thanks in part to his iconic song, Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree, Tony Orlando is a beloved national icon who passionately donates his time, talents and treasure to benefit those who selflessly defend our freedom.&nbsp;
His framed certified Gold copy of Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round the Old Oak Tree was graciously donated to the Nixon Library by Tony Orlando and his family, where it will be forever displayed as a tribute to the Prisoners of War, and those who never made it home to see their yellow ribbon. 
Tony Orlando has volunteered his talent to our Armed Services on military bases in the United States and all over the world. The entertainer has used his gift of music to raise millions of dollars benefiting active military and veterans. He serves on the board of directors for multiple military and veterans assistance foundations.&nbsp;
His Free Veteran&rsquo;s Day Homecoming Celebration held annually at his Yellow Ribbon Music Theatre
in Branson, Missouri has evolved into an eagerly anticipated event since 1993. The mayor of Branson honored Orlando&rsquo;s dedication with a proclamation and &ldquo;Yellow Ribbon Day&rdquo;. 
The Bob Hope Award
was bestowed upon Tony Orlando in recognition of his ongoing philanthropy, charitable efforts and volunteer performances for active military, veterans, and military families. He has performed for US Presidents and gave an iconic performance of Tie A Yellow Ribbon Round the Ole Oak Tree for 600 Viet Nam Prisoners of War, at the invitation of the late legendary Bob Hope, and has continued to honor those military heroes for the past 50 years at their annual homecoming events. Orlando is also the recipient of the Lee Greenwood Patriot Award. 
&ldquo;Prepare yourselves for an unforgettable evening as Tony Orlando comes to hang out on Jam'n Java&#8252; In a rare and special appearance, Tony, fresh from his retirement from performing, will be our esteemed guest. Join us as we delve into the heart and soul of this legendary superstar, sharing the intimate moments and reflections from his unforgettable farewell tour.&rdquo;, said Jam&rsquo; n Java host, Robby Robinson. &ldquo;This is your chance to witness history in the making as Tony Orlando opens up about his journey, his music, and the emotions behind his final performances. Don't miss this exclusive opportunity to connect with a true icon of the music industry.&rdquo;
