Mr. Newton was in town to perform at the "First Bank Spotlight Series" sponsored by the Seattle-First National Bank. A youthful-looking 28 at the time of this photograph and possessing a 3-octave range, he played 13 instruments, many of which were worked into his shows. Nearly thirty years after his visit to Pacific Lutheran, Mr. Newton is still a major performer in Las Vegas. He has recorded over 150 albums, been knighted, and received an honorary doctorate from William Woods University. He is Nevada's Ambassador of Goodwill and in addition, McCarran International Airport's main thoroughfare has been renamed "Wayne Newton Boulevard." ALBUM 8.
