Such sad news to see yesterday via Twitter because Tony performed in Austin last Summer. I didn’t go but I’m confident he did all the hits by the Outfield everybody loved and showcased he still had something left in the tank with new stuff.
I remember how much “Your Love” was played to death in 1986. It was pretty damn catchy though. The Aquabats’ drummer (Ricky Fitness) likes to do the first verse when the band is prepping for the next song. Despite how unimpressed I was by the debut album Play Deep, too much of the material sounded the same; I did enjoy their follow-up hits “Since You’ve Been Gone” and “Voices of Babylon.” Maybe I’ll pick up a greatest hits.
Thanks for what you did in the Eighties Tony. You had a marvelous voice and your big hit was a ray of sunshine during my final days in North Dakota.
