Tony Terry - When I'm With You

[John Barfield]

A quality song with a beginning, middle, climax, drop down, and an ending. Did he have anything else? If he did, I don't know anything about it.

[John Barfield]

Only problem is what they called hits, I call junk. Back in the late eighties and early nineties companies pushed songs at us that were not quite up to standard. Some songs they were able to turn into "hits". However, this is the only song he ever made that I would listen to over and over.

I think a "HIT" is defined any record that makes it to the Top 50 of the Billboard magazine charts. Or was that the Top 100? My memory is playing hide n seek with me lately. Now what was I saying.....ohhh yeah ... To us, it means ..... to me anyway, its a bonified Hit if they used to play it on Radio on a regular rotation. Makes no difference how high it got in the charts. In the 60s, I didn`t even know what a chart was. HaHa

I like this one too.

This was my wedding song to my first husband. Even though the marriage ended 12 years ago, I still love this song.

Terry was a graduate at the Duke Ellington School of the Arts in Washington. He landed backing vocalist jobs for the R&B/pop group, Sweet Sensation, and hip-hop group The Boogie Boys. In 1987, he signed a recording contract with Epic/CBS Records. Terry's first single, "She's Fly", was released the same year, and peaked at number 10 on the Billboard R&B singles chart. Forever Yours, Terry's debut album for Epic, was released in 1988, and reached the Top 40 of Billboard's R&B albums chart. The follow-up single, "Lovey Dovey", reached number four on the R&B charts, and "Forever Yours" climbed into the R&B Top 20.

Terry's second album, a self-titled release, included the single "With You" (his biggest hit) which reached the Top 20 of the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, as well as the Top 10 on the R&B chart. "Everlasting Love", was a number-six R&B hit. After leaving Epic, Terry moved over to Virgin Records. His debut album for that label was 1994's Heart Of A Man. The single, "When A Man Cries", just managed the R&B Top 40, but the album was a commercial failure. The following year, Terry contributed background vocals on the single "Gotta Have Love", from Yolanda Adams's album More Than a Melody. He also appeared in the video. Terry has performed on the soundtracks to Gladiator starring Cuba Gooding, Jr., Tap starring Gregory Hines and King's Ransom starring Anthony Anderson. In 1991, Terry earned two Soul Train Music Award nominations: Single of the Year and Artist of the Year for "With You", but he did not win either category.
