Hits - Tony Toni Tone

Advantages: VELVET VOICE WORTH LISTENING TO
Disadvantages: NONE

...Toni Braxton was a smoldering fire. From the little Virginia church girl enticed by the secular grooves on Soul Train to the sultry Grammy Award winning songbird to the bankrupt Broadway Belle, Toni’s velvet voice and passion for music endeared her to the public and kept her in the game, despite her misfortunes. Who can forget from her 1993 self-titled debut album, the soulful longing, “Breathe Again” and “Seven Whole Days”, or how about “Love Shoulda Brought You Home” an audience favorite from the film Boomerang starring Eddie Murphy, Robin Givens and Halle Berry? Toni came on the scene when R&B/pop music fans were craving for a smooth and soothing voiced songstress that can be compared to and ranked among the likes of loved artists such as Anita Baker and Whitney Houston. Because La Face Records knew of her talents, they wasted no... Read review

...A few years ago I was in a local pub and this handsome barman caught my eye!During a short break from bartending he took to the floor and I couldn't believe the sound which was coming from him-the place was brought to a standstill and the hairs on the back of my kneck stood to attention.We all knew we would see this guy again.

Advantages: Some good tracks
Disadvantages: Some awful tracks, probably too diverse for all tracks to appeal to one person, many of the songs are slow

...the star in the ‘80s and has remained relatively high profile since. The band had a string of hits in the ‘80s, the most famous being probably True and Gold (which became the theme of the ’84 Olympics). His biggest hit as a solo performer has been the beautiful Through The Barricades. He impressed me throughout the Reborn tour, performing consistently and professionally. Each week, he shone and thoroughly deserved to win. He has three tracks on the album and these are amongst the best. He begins the album with Walking In Memphis (which I first heard when Aaron Bayley sang it on Pop Idol). This is a great start to the CD with a very good song and an impressive vocal performance from Tony. His rich tones are perfect for this one and it is probably the track I play the most. He also sings track ten – To Love... Read review
