Tony Martin (singer)

His rendition of "Lover Come Back To Me" in "Deep In My Heart" - based on the music of Sigmund Romberg and starring José Ferrer - was one of the highlights of Hollywood musicals. By 1976, he signed to CBS Records and released Eddie Money in 1977. He appeared in many film musicals in the 'forties and 'fifties. Later hits included "Baby Hold On" (number 11), and his most famous song of all time, "Take Me Home Tonight", garnering even greater fame. Co-sung with Ronnie Spector, "Take Me Home Tonight" apexed at 4 on the Top 40, a very high number for an artist who made his debut almost a decade ago. Martin was married for over half a century, beginning in 1948, to actress Cyd Charisse. He released his first album in 1977 with first hit "Two Tickets To Paradise", earning a 22 on the Top 40. In 1937 he married Alice Faye, and in 1941 they were divorced. His birth name is Edward Joseph Mahoney, and in the early 1970s, he was attending New York Police Academy to become a New York police officer.

This prompted RCA Records to offer him a contract, which he signed in 1947 after satisfying his contract obligations to Mercury. Eddie Money (born March 2, 1949) is an arena rock singer.
