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.

Tonight
Tony Martin Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Beams down in dream light; tonight
We touch the stars
Love is ours
Night winds that sigh
Embrace the sky
Tonight, we love in the glow
That glows so softly I know
Will it be gone
Or will it always live on?
Tonight, we love
The lyrics to Tony Martin's song "Tonight" describe the beauty and magic of a fleeting moment of love. The singer speaks of how, on this particular night, they are experiencing a love that seems almost surreal, something that exists only in dreams. The light of the moon and stars adds to this magical feeling, and the embrace of the night winds creates a sense of intimacy and tenderness. However, the singer is also aware that this moment cannot last forever. They wonder if this love will be gone once the night is over, or if it will continue to exist after this one fleeting night.
Through these lyrics, Tony Martin is exploring the idea of seizing the moment and living in the present. The song suggests that while love may not last forever, it is still worth experiencing and cherishing for as long as it does endure. The imagery of the moon and stars adds to the sense of beauty and wonder, while the references to borrowing and the uncertainty of the future hint at the fleeting nature of this moment. Ultimately, the song celebrates the idea of living passionately and making the most of every moment, even if it cannot last forever.

Tonight, we love while the moon
In this moment, we express our affection while the moon illuminates our surroundings
Beams down in dream light; tonight
Its gentle radiance creates a surreal atmosphere for us to enjoy tonight
We touch the stars
Our love transcends earthly boundaries and allows us to reach the stars
Love is ours
The love between us belongs to us, and only us
Night winds that sigh
The wind's gentle breath echoes our emotions with a sigh
Embrace the sky
Our love's intensity is so strong, it envelops the entire sky
Tonight, we love in the glow
We bask in the radiant light of the present moment
That glows so softly I know
The soothing glow of the night assures me of the love we share
This wasn't meant to borrow but tomorrow
Our love isn't fleeting; it wasn't meant to be a temporary loan but last forever
Will it be gone
However, we acknowledge the possibility of losing it in the future
Or will it always live on?
We hope that our love will withstand the test of time and continue to thrive
Tonight, we love
Despite any uncertainty, in this moment, we choose to love with all that we have

Beams down in dream light tonight.
오늘 밤 달빛이 꿈 속에 밝게
내리 비치는 동안 우리 사랑을 나누어요.
We touch the stars, love is ours.
Night winds that sigh, embrace the sky.
우리가 별에 닿으니 사랑은 우리의 것이 되었죠.
산들거리는 저녁 바람이 하늘을 애워싸고 있네요.
Tonight we love in the glow
That gleams so softly.
I know
부드럽고 어슴프레 빛나는 타오는 불빛 속에서
오늘밤 우리 사랑을 나누어요.
난 알고 있어요..
This wasn't meant to borrow
But tomorrow will it be gone
Or will it live on?
Tonight we love.
그 사랑이 진실해야만 한다는걸 말에요.
하지만, 내일이면,사라지게 될지
계속 될런지는 모르지만,
오늘밤 우리 사랑을 나누어요.
Tonight we love in the glow
That gleams so softly.
I know
부드럽고 어슴프레 빛나는 타오는 불빛 속에서
오늘밤 우리 사랑을 나누어요.

He's a talent from an era that will never be repeated
@lesliekinn9276
Artie Oliverio, I thought there was little hope but there are some newer singers that perform the beautiful ballads. The first that springs to mind is the three young men of Il Volo, an Italian group that sings “popes”. Amazing voices that will bring tears. They love the older music.
@Katu195
I've never head a song sung so softly and tenderly as Tony Martin sings this song. Like he's holding crystal and he dare not let it go. There's not too many left from his era, although 93 year old Doris Day springs to mind.
@195Katu
Yes, good for Vera Lynn. And Doris Day is now 95, April 3.
