To date, Newton has recorded and released an astounding 165 albums. In a volatile, unforgiving industry where careers and successes can appear and disappear like vapors, Newton resides atop the “Mount Rushmore of Entertainers,” etched in music history. He has performed live in front of more than 40 million people during a record-setting run of 25,000-plus shows in Las Vegas, alone. He recently made his historic and triumphant return to the landmark Flamingo Las Vegas Hotel & Casino where he continues to perform his “Up Close and Personal” show, a journey through his illustrious Vegas career featuring hit songs and personal stories.
