Nutrisystem
How about his endorsement of Nutrisystem? Apparently he lost over 100 lbs? Anyway, I can't stand that commercial....(UTC)
Tony Orlando was Puerto Rican on his mother's side, not his father ( who was Greek) Incidently, there were many Greek-Puerto Rican unions,in the Chelsea-Hells Kitchen vicinity which resulted in children we often called " Greekaricans".
Freddie Prinze
The article currently states (in the section about Orlando's youth): His best friend was Freddie Prinze (who was of Puerto Rican and Hungarian descent). But Orlando was 10 years older than Prinze; when Orlando had his first hit single at age 17 in 1961, Prinze was only 7 years old. So I think we need some confirmation of this point. If they became best friends in later years, say in the mid-1970s when they were both successful, this sentence should be moved to a different part of the article. Also, Freddie Prinze was not of Hungarian descent, as discussed in the article about him, so that reference should probably be removed too. --Metropolitan90 19:08, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
There was an excellent episode on Tony Orlando, which would probably provide a lot of useful info, if anyone has a copy and could add notes from it. It mentioned a great deal about Freddie Prinze and their friendship (which was indeed in the '70s), as well as the reasons for his first single being released under another name, and info on an attempt at a "Cosby Show" spinoff featuring Orlando as a community-center director married to a social worker played by Ada Maris. I haven't seen the episode recently enough to provide reliable notes, though. Lawikitejana 04:48, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
How long did the show run?
Regarding their TV show it says, "The show, which ran for four seasons from 1974 to 1976...". Going from 1974 to 1976 is two seasons. There's a mistake here. Jtpaladin 19:15, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Photo
That photo is horrible. Can anyone find a better one? (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.188.96.82 (talk)
Is a successful public relations executive
Orlando's son Jon Orlando is a successful public relations executive. What is success? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.174.105.242 (talk)
- It's not well-defined, and is a bit of opinion rather than fact, so I've simply removed the word. -- Whpq (talk) 17:38, 23 March 2011 (UTC)
