Born Anthony Hester in 1949 on new years eve a true soul music genius was born.

Tony attended McComb College for two years on the east side of Detroit but quit to pursue his musical passion and start writing songs from his mothers basement on a old piano.

By the time Tony was 14, he had his first record recoded by the Marvelettes: "A Little Bit of Sympathy," the flip side of "You're My Remedy."

Motown then asked Tony to sign with them for 7 years but Tony declined as he did not want to be tied into a contract that long.

Later on in his career he was asked once again to join a major label; this time it was Golden World and that later sold to Motown. Once again Tony refused, as he liked to do his own thing like hanging around Hitsville and taking the bus around Detroit.

Sadly in 1980, at the age of 30, Tony was gunned down and robbed but Tony had struggled with drug addition most of his life and who knows what really happened that day; the soul world lost a true legend.

Tony had a true talent for writing soul music and singing and worked with everyone who was anyone in Detroit like The Dells, The Dramatics and the list goes on and on.

So enjoy this lost gem from the latter part of his career, as it's a true crossover masterpiece
