Hot Slut Of The Day!
Tony Terry, the crooning R&B Gumby from the late 80s and 90s!
Whenever a Robin Thicke song hits your ears for whatever reason (example of a reason: you’re in the waiting room at the free clinic where they only play Robin Thicke, Nickelback and John Mayer), you should think to yourself, “Where is a Tony Terry song when I really need one?” Today’s R&B gives you Robin Thicke and yesterday’s R&B gave you the smooth stylings of Tony Terry. What crimes did we commit as a people from the 80s to now to deserve that punishment?!
Back then, Tony Terry had the looks of an 80s smooth rat (aka Pharrell’s inspiration), hair like a Yellow Pages Christopher “Kid” Reid impersonator and he dressed like a really creative business woman who dressed up her Charlotte Russe business suits by Super Gluing buttons to their lapels (see: look above). Tony Terry had a few hits in the late 80s and his biggest hit came in 1990 with “With You.” “With You” was produced by Anita Baker and Blair Underwood directed the video and also had a cameo in it. Get into the emotion as Tony Terry fills your ear tunnels with liquid velvet. The smoke, the horizontal blind shadows, that sleeveless sequined hoody (Kanye wants that in his closet NOW)…. This will do things to you:
Sadly, Tony Terry retired that beyond sexy sequined hoody and he shaved that exquisite hair brick off of his head, but he still makes music today. Side note: I feel a personal connection to Tony Terry, because I once worked in an office where the biggest gossips were these two ladies from accounts payable and their names were Toni and Terry.
Sometimes a YouTube commenter puts it best and this is definitely one of those times. A YT commenter described the glory of Tony Terry like this:
Lookin like a black Thundercat singing a R&B song with a cameo haircut..wow, just wow
“Just wow” is right.
