Original Toronto Star caption: Tony, Tony, Tony, was the cry at the CNE Grandstand last night as the singing De Franco Family put on concert before 7,000 screaming teenyboppers. Tony was the big hit of the night, and when fans learned that it was his 15th birthday they broke into a spontaneous rendition of Happy Birthday. Star staff writer Trish Crawford says Tony was by far best singer in group of three boys, two girls.
