Tony Terry started doing backing vocals for acts in the late 70's while he was still in his teens. In the late 80's, he attempted a solo recording career.
He scored three Top 10 R&B hits and this beautiful ballad, released in 1991, is probably the best known out of them.
The Billboard Hot 100: #14
Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks: #6

Yet another song I truly love, if I ever write something 1/10 as good as this I will feel a major sense of smugness. Other fine tracks by Terry include "Everlasting Love" and "Head Over Heels." Album it's from has many nice moments as well.

Yes, "With You" is a very great song. It rose up the Billboard Hot 100 several weeks without a bullet, but once it got into the top 40, it took off again. It reached number 15 on the R&R chart.
In 1988, Tony Terry had two hits that both hit number 80 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. "She's Fly" was the first. It was an up-beat tune that was catchy. The second single was "Forever Yours." I loved this song. It was just as good or better than "With You."

You know, I forgot about "She's Fly." I have 12 inch single somewhere, and I totally forgot about "Forever Yours," I can't even remember melody now.

Was this the song that got yanked off the Hot 100 while it was climbing because of the new 20/20 rule that Billboard had instigated in 1991?

Was this the song that got yanked off the Hot 100 while it was climbing because of the new 20/20 rule that Billboard had instigated in 1991? Actually, it lost its bullet 11/9, and then sort of bounced around inside the Top 20 unbulleted for the next several weeks. The 20/20 rule went into effect on 11/30 (the same week that the Hot 100 started using BDS and SoundScan data), and "With You" was given a one-week reprieve despite slipping to #25 in its 23rd chart week. It went recurrent on 12/7. |

Beautiful song; a quiet storm classic with great lyrics.

I used to wear this cassette single out. Great song. I can't believe I don't have it on my iTunes already.

Kinda forgettable. I was amused that someone started a thread on it.

Never heard this or him before, but this really took me back! I love it. It peaked #14 on the Hot 100 and #6 on the R&B charts. Damn...I miss those days!

Didn't realized there was already a thread for this in the 80s section. I've been listening to it alot lately. Beautiful song.

Although I wasn't a big fan of love songs/ballads, I always did like this one. One of the best 90s R&B slow jams. Heard this on the radio on B96, WGCI, V103, and Lite FM 93.9 (and the other AC/hot ac stations) in my market.

Ugh. This is likely in several of my playlists as this is TYPICAL of music I listen to all the time.
The "STOP! (PAUSE)... and stare... and smile at us....." is my favorite part.

Tony was recently featured on Unsung.
According to Tony, there wasn't going to be a music video for this song because Epic didn't think it would be a hit. Then he got a call from Anita Baker, who gave him $50,000 to shoot a video. And she got Blair Underwood to direct.
