==Early years==
He was born Carson Wayne Newton in Norfolk, Virginia, to Patrick Newton, an auto mechanic, and his wife, Evelyn Marie Plasters.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wayne Newton Biography (1942–) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Wayne Newton Biography )〕 He is of English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh, German, and Native American ancestry. Newton has stated that his mother is half Cherokee and his father half Patawomeck.〔 When his father was serving in the U.S. Navy during World War II, Newton spent his early years in Roanoke, learning the piano, guitar, and steel guitar at age six.
While he was still a child, his family moved to near Newark, Ohio. He began singing in local clubs, theaters, and fairs with his older brother, Jerry. Because of his connection with Newark and having family still there, the city selected Newton as the grand marshal of its bicentennial parade in 2002. However, Newton's severe asthma forced his family to move to Phoenix, Arizona in 1952, where he graduated from North High School (Phoenix, Arizona). The brothers, as the Rascals in Rhythm, appeared with the Grand Ole Opry roadshows and on ABC-TV's ''Ozark Jubilee''; and performed for the president and auditioned unsuccessfully for Ted Mack's ''Original Amateur Hour''.
In the spring of 1958, toward near the end of his junior year of high school, a Las Vegas booking agent saw Newton a local TV show, ''Lew King Rangers Show'', on which the two Newton brothers were performing and took them back for an audition. Originally signed for two weeks, the brothers eventually performed for five years, doing six shows a day. On September 29, 1962, they first performed on ''The Jackie Gleason Show''. He would perform on Gleason's show 12 times over the following two years. In the early to mid-1960s, Wayne also acted and sang as "Andy" the baby-faced Ponderosa ranch hand on the classic western TV series, ''Bonanza''.
