Summary: Just a little too glossy
Review: I too have been a Tony Orlando fan for MANY years. I went to Vegas in the 1970s specifically to see his show. I even patted him on the butt! I was rather disappointed that he did not go into more detail about his relationship with the girls from Dawn, he mentioned at one time that they were not speaking but gave no info as to why not. I would also have liked to know more about the drug use and dark days with Freddie Prinze. It just seemed that the book put a positive spin on all aspects of his life and did not delve into the problem areas that we all have. This all helps to make a person what he/she is today and I felt this was missing in the book. I did enjoy it but thought more details could have been included to round out the picture of his life.

Summary: HALF WAY TO HAPPINESS!
Review: Tony Orlando has been a very dear friend for over 30 years, I first met him in a recording studio on West 48th Street in New York City back in the late 60's. I was visiting some friends at Wind Records, when they gave me a new album by a group called "WIND" that was being released on their new label. They played some of the songs, and what I heard was lead vocals that sound very odd...I later learned it was Tony Orlando singing on the session!This book from Tony, is one of alot of love,pain,tears,soul searching and the lost of a very dear and close friend (Freddie Prinze) to a gun shot to his head which no one seems to this day understands! Tony gives his fans, a real up close and inside view of the pain and many pressures as well stress that he has faced. I really could not put this book down,I for one wanted to learn just what Tony was feeling inside...and this book says it all! Read the book and learn, just what Tony Orlando the man felt and suffered. You will not be disappointed, but be more of a fan of Tony's than ever you were before! THANK YOU TONY, FOR SHARING YOUR PAIN AS WELL YOUR LOSS OF A GREAT TALENT THAT FREDDIE PRINZE STILL IS!

Summary: Nobody's Perfect
Review: When they say, "My life is an open book" they are talking about Tony Orlando. His honesty is refreshing and gives insight to the kind of person he is. One has to remember that although he is a performer, he is a human being first and is therefore given the right of privacy. He did not have to write this book but I am more than happy he did. He has been my hero since I was eight. At thirty-nine, this book has given me a new respect for the person he is. He is as star-struck as anyone of us which lends to his understanding of his fans - fans he calls friends.

Summary: A GREAT READ!!!!
Review: Wow, what a book. Since I've been a long time Tony fan, this book is captivating and, for me, a page turner. I am taken with the down to earth quality in which he writes the book. He offers a lot of insight into his life, and he IS funny. The only negative I would give this book is the part where he delves into the plethora of songs, songwriters, publishers and artists on his way up. I'm sure he wants to pay tribute to all of these folks, but it gets to be a tedious read during these parts. I liked the before and after parts where he delves into his life and the behind the scenes stuff. I was also a big fan of Freddie Prinze, and Freddie is part and parcel of this book including photographs of them together. I read it non-stop since I bought it. I was waiting a long time for this book to come out and was NOT disappointed. The book, though, IS shocking at times. A great read for anyone who is or ever was a Tony O. fan.
