Wayne Newton began his performing career as a child and later became the most popular and highest-paid star on the Las Vegas nightclub circuit. Newton initially performed with his brother Jerry, with whom he captured the first of his lucrative Vegas bookings, as well his many stints on THE JACKIE GLEASON SHOW. Jerry had bowed out by 1963, and Wayne subsequently signed a deal with Bobby Darin who oversaw the production of Newton’s earliest hits, including "Heart (I Hear You Beating)" and the eternal "Danke Schoen." Newton continued to record and perform for decades, commanding record breaking fees for his Vegas shows and eventually becoming Sin City royalty as not only a performer, but as a hotel investor as well. He continues to perform his amicable yet glitzy pop almost nightly at marquee casinos around town.
