- Wayne Newton proved lounge singers can dance. In an era of changing entertainment values and musical trends, the Silver Springs-bound Newton, 65, not only survives but prospers.
Modern audiences know him from his recent stint on "Dancing With the Stars," but Newton is a throwback to another generation of entertainers.
"He's a showman, the kind of entertainer who makes you feel good," said Bill Barr, morning personality on Ocala radio station WMFQ 92.9 FM. "He's part of a dying breed - a Las Vegas lounge singer who plays the big time."
In a way, Newton's gone from corny to cool.
