Carson Wayne Newton (born April 3, 1942) is an American singer and entertainer based in Las Vegas, Nevada. He was born in Roanoke, Virginia. While Newton was still a child, his family moved to a home near Newark, Ohio. He began singing in local clubs, theaters, and fairs with his brother. Because of his connection with Newark, the city selected Newton to be the grand marshal of its bicentennial parade in 2003. He performed over 30,000 solo shows in Las Vegas over a period of over 40 years, earning him the nickname Mr. Las Vegas'. His best known songs include the "Daddy Don't You Walk So Fast" (1972) (his biggest hit, peaking at #4 on the Billboard charts), "Years" (1980) and his signature song, "Danke Schoen" (1963).
