Tony Terry, whose real name is Antonio Terry, is an American singer who started his artistic career by playing backing vocals for groups such as the Sweet Sensation and other Boogie Boys.
His solo career began in 1987 when he signed with the Epic/CBS Records label, a label that enabled him to release a first Single "She's fly". And for a first try, he is rather successful since he will thus clinch his first classified title.
Title taken from his first album “Forever yours”, an album which was released the same year and which was also going to be a significant success. Album which will produce 3 other successful Singles in 1988 with "Forevers yours", "Lovey dovey" and "Young love".
New album success two years later in 1990 with the album "Tonny Terry", album which this time will produce 4 successful tracks, just that. Four tracks that are "Head over heels", "Everlasting love", "That kind of guy" but also, and above all, "With you", title which will remain as his biggest success on the Singles side.
Change of label from the year 1994 and move to Virgin Records, label with which he released the album "Heart of a man" the same year. A change of label that will not really benefit him because the album will not really enjoy the same level of success as its predecessors and will struggle to produce high caliber Singles.
He will continue the adventure thereafter and will produce other albums, especially during the 2000s, but these will not allow him to return to any major success.

Tracks :
1987 ... first title and already first success, this is what we call an ideal start. After that, it remains to be confirmed that this unexpected success is not just the result of chance ...
1988 ... he will take a year to confirm all the good that one could think of him but at least he confirms. Isn't that the main thing ...
1988 ... a year 1988 which even saw him explode on the international scene with this first success on both sides of the Atlantic. There is no need to say, when it wants, it wants ...
1988 ... another global class success. The singer is in a dynamic of success for the less impressive and certainly does not intend to stop there ...
1989 ... a dynamic of success that will somewhat stall from this year 1989. No more global successes and return to local success mode. It's always better than nothing as they say ...
1990 ... he in any case continues to believe in it and that is the main thing above all. Because for the moment the adventure continues to be beautiful even if it is now limited exclusively to the United States ...
1991 ... after 1988, 1991 will be remembered as its other BIG year. Admittedly, he will not manage to equal 1988 in terms of level of success but will chain several titles of big caliber all the same. Starting with this one ...
1991 ... a singer who will not remain as the most gifted of his generation but who does not have to be ashamed of his discography, far from it. Once again the proof with this title ...
1991 ... especially since he was good in all areas, whether it be Dance or Intimist. A musical palette that can only be found among the most talented as always ...
1994 ... he will disappear from the radars for almost 3 years and here he is back in this year 1994 in a form that will be qualified as relative. Not enough in any case to see him return in a sustainable way in the race ...
1995 ... an adventure which draws to its end with this title, at least the adventure in the Charts. He will get here his last hit and still very small ...
2006 ... eleven years will separate this title from the previous one. The singer will make a comeback here to say the least unexpected and which unfortunately will not be of much use, at least on the recognition side of the general public ...
2013 ... new 7 years air hole and here he is back in this decade 2010. To do what, we wonder once again ...
2015 ... and whether he is alone or with others will not change anything. He continues to chart his course in relative anonymity and without necessarily expecting to expect much in terms of any recognition ...
2015 ... he puts in good will, however, it is clear. This title is far from being ridiculous but when it does not want any more, it does not want any more ...
2015 ... an adventure that will go no further this time. At least for now because with him, nothing is ever finished, you have to know that ...
