Tony Martin (born April 19, 1957) was the seventh and final vocalist for the legendary rock band Black Sabbath before the eventual reunion of their original lineup. He was in the band on and off for a ten-year span between 1987 and 1997, recording five albums: The Eternal Idol (1987), Headless Cross (1989), Tyr (1990), Cross Purposes (1994), Cross Purposes Live and Forbidden (1995). He was dismissed from the band in 1991, to accommodate the reunion of the Mob Rules lineup: Tony Iommi, Vinny Appice, Geezer Butler and Ronnie James Dio. He returned to the band in 1993, and left once again sometime in 1996 or 1997, while the band was on hiatus.
Martin has since been involved in many solo projects, yet his most memorable gig remains his time as front man of Black Sabbath.
He will release his latest solo album , 'Thorns' in Jan 2022.
2. Tony Martin was a co-host of the Australian Triple M radio show 'Get This' with Ed Kavalee and Richard Marsland. The show was axed in late 2007, despite high ratings.
3. Tony Martin (born December 25, 1912) is an American actor and traditional pop singer.
Martin was born Alvin Morris in Oakland, California to Jewish immigrants from Poland. He received a soprano saxophone as a gift from his grandmother at ten. In his grammar school glee club, he became an instrumentalist and a boy soprano singer. He formed his first band, named "The Red Peppers," when he was at Oakland Technical High School, eventually joining the band of a local orchestra leader, Tom Gerun, as a reed instrument specialist, sitting alongside the future bandleader Woody Herman. He attended Saint Mary's College of California in Moraga during the mid-1930s. After college, he left Gerun's band to go to Hollywood to try his luck in films. It was at that time that he adopted the stage name, Tony Martin.
He was a featured vocalist on the George Burns and Gracie Allen radio program. On the show Gracie Allen playfully flirted with Tony, often threatening to fire him. She'd say things like "Oh Tony you look so tired, why don't you rest your lips on mine." In the movies, he was first cast in a number of bit parts, including a role as a sailor in the movie Follow the Fleet (1936), starring Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. He eventually signed with 20th Century-Fox and then Metro Goldwyn Mayer in which he starred in a number of musicals. At the same time, between 1938 and 1942, he made a number of hit records for Decca.
In World War II, he first joined the United States Navy, but as a result of rumors (without any factual basis) that he had gotten an officer's commission through bribery he left the navy and joined the United States Army Air Forces. Though he had an outstanding record in the military, the rumors hurt his professional reputation and the major record labels refused to sign him. He eventually signed with Mercury Records, then a small independent run out of Chicago, Illinois. He cut 25 records in 1946 and 1947 for Mercury, including a 1946 recording of "To Each His Own" which became a million-seller. This prompted RCA Victor records to offer him a contract, which he signed in 1947 after satisfying his contract obligations to Mercury.
In 1937 he married Alice Faye, and in 1941 they were divorced. Martin has been married since 1948 to Cyd Charisse, almost a Hollywood record for marital success. They have one son together - Tony Martin Jr., born in 1950.
He appeared in many film musicals in the 1940s and 1950s. His rendition of "Lover Come Back To Me" with Joan Weldon in Deep in My Heart - based on the music of Sigmund Romberg and starring José Ferrer - was one of the highlights of Hollywood musicals. As of 2008, he is still doing live performances in New York City.

Scream
Tony Martin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You'd give your soul to have your way
Thrice you wished it, twice you pleaded
Once you vowed and knelt to pray
Seven times I heard you promise
Seven time you called in vain
Your wish is granted, the devil signed it
And now I'm riding to make you pay
I know that your soul has had enough of crying
And I'm here to free you and take your pain away
Scream, if you hear my machine
It's a terrifying dream
There's no time to hide
I'm right beside you
Scream, if you hear my machine
Then your soul will ride with me
Back into forever, everlasting night
Faint and broken spirit crying
Life and soul on borrowed time
Spent your life in search of pleasure
Those you hurt are friends of mine
I know that your soul has had enough of crying
And I'm here to free you and take your pain away
Scream, if you hear my machine
It's a terrifying dream
There's no time to hide
I'm right beside you
Scream, if you hear my machine
Then your soul will ride with me
Forever
Scream, if you hear my machine
It's a terrifying dream
There's no time to hide
I'm right beside you
Scream, if you hear my machine
Then your soul will ride with me
Back into the everlasting night
Where the only light is from Satan's eyes
Oh, gonna ride forever
Tonight you're mine!
The lyrics of Tony Martin's "Scream" are about a person who has made a deal with the devil to fulfill their wishes, but now they are being haunted by a demonic force that intends to collect their soul. The song starts by describing how the person has made multiple attempts to get their wishes granted, even going as far as pledging their soul to the devil. The devil agrees to the deal, and now the person is being chased by a demonic entity. The chorus encourages the person to scream if they hear the machine, which is a representation of the supernatural force that is chasing them.
In the second verse, the lyrics suggest that the person has spent their life pursuing pleasure, but in the process, they have hurt others who are now friends of the demonic entity. The chorus is repeated, adding that the entity is there to take the person's pain away and free their soul, but only if they scream and acknowledge its presence.
The song ends with a final plea for the person to scream and join the entity in the everlasting night of Satan's eyes.
Line by Line Meaning
Yesterday I heard you say
I remember hearing you express your desire
You'd give your soul to have your way
You were willing to give up your soul to achieve your desires
Thrice you wished it, twice you pleaded
You desired it so badly that you wished and pleaded for it repeatedly
Once you vowed and knelt to pray
You even made a vow and knelt down to pray for it
Seven times I heard you promise
You made multiple promises to fulfill your wish
Seven time you called in vain
Despite your numerous attempts, you failed to achieve your goal
Your wish is granted, the devil signed it
The devil granted your wish after you made a deal with him
And now I'm riding to make you pay
I am here to take you to task for what you have done
Faint and broken spirit crying
You are now a weak and helpless being, crying out in pain
Life and soul on borrowed time
You have little time left to live, and your soul is at stake
Spent your life in search of pleasure
You have lived your life solely for your own pleasure
Those you hurt are friends of mine
You have caused harm to people I care about
I know that your soul has had enough of crying
I understand that your soul is in turmoil
And I'm here to free you and take your pain away
I am here to help you find peace and relieve your suffering
Scream, if you hear my machine
If you can hear me, let out a scream
It's a terrifying dream
This experience is both surreal and frightening
There's no time to hide
You cannot escape the consequences of your actions
I'm right beside you
I am with you every step of the way
Then your soul will ride with me
I will take your soul with me
Back into forever, everlasting night
Your soul will be carried away into the darkness forever
Where the only light is from Satan's eyes
In this place of darkness, the only light comes from Satan's eyes
Oh, gonna ride forever
We will be journeying on forever
Tonight you're mine!
You are under my control tonight
