Tony Orlando - Just One Person - 1986 NYC MDA Telethon

My favorite Tony Orlando telethon performance, this is my anthem whenever I get down. Tony promised me he would do it on the 2009 telethon in memory of my late mother. He hasn't sung it on the show since this performance in 1986.

LISTEN TO THE WORDS........ WE'RE STARTING A CHAIN REACTION.........IF I CAN DO IT, WE ALL CAN!!!
YOU GOTTA BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe I'm seeing this after all these years. I was there as a volunteer helping out. I even caught a glimpse of myself collecting pledge slips from the phone bank. WOW, such great memories of a wonderful man who has given so much helping Muscular Dystrophy.

Tony Orlando is an amazing person and has the biggest heart of anyone I've ever met.

@mucktheduck  Getting to know Tony personally since Telethon '08, I wholeheartedly agree.

To call to the tote, you say Rosengarden in honor of Bobby Rosengarden (RIP), the first long time MDA telethon orchestra director.

[tpirfan2004]

@123jefm Which is EXACTLY what I did when I went on the show in 2008. Tony couldn't believe I remembered Bobby when we met backstage; you could tell he was genuinely impressed / touched by me asking for the tote that way.
