Singer - Tony in the seventies?

[babyboomer]

Just saw someone on the Elvis show BBC1 and he remined me of this person but no-one can get him from my description. It's driving us mad - can anyone help?

Can anyone put a name to this description?

A singer probaby early seventies
Dark hair - probably a bit of a quiff
Quite good looking
I think that he won New Faces or Opportunity Knocks but I can't find his name using Google - it may have been some other talent show
Not a major top 10 recording star but very popular with women which is what makes me think he came through a talent show
I am sure that his name was Tony but not 100%

I have a feeling that his surname ended in o, as in Tony Angelo or something like that.

And you came up with Bernie Flint?

[weeal]

Tony Orlando? he sang "tie a yellow ribbon" early 1970's but not a UK talent show contestant I dont think

you asked the question PF? Who's babyboomer then?

Can we assume our guesses are wrong then? lol

[Petal~flower]

BOO, no I copied part of babyboomers question.

Seemed clever at the time lol

[dot.hawkes]

tony orlando and dawn were a US group, never did any Uk talent shows. Bernie Flint fits the description as far as the looks and career go, maybe not the name, i was thinking of Tony marinaro or somethiong like that but not sure.

Its always worth throwing a name in-you never know.

Johnny Logan - won Eurovision 1980?

Petal I think "dot" is short for "dottled"...

[hau kola]

I even thought of Tony Angelino,the character from Fools and Horses.lol

[Petal~flower]

Is it Peter Gordino (think thats how you spell it?)

[THECORBYLOON]

What about Terry Wogan?

[THECORBYLOON]

You're thinking on Gordino the Gopher...

[fodhyoc]

[dot.hawkes]

corbyloon there is no such word as dottled you made it up, and if you are suggesting i have had a drink, you are wrong, i have not.

Frankie laine sang Rawhide.

Johhny Logan wasn't on Opportunity Knocks was he?
