Tony Martin (rock singer)
Encyclopedia : T : TO : TON : Tony Martin (rock singer)
Anthony Martin Harford (born April 19, 1957) is best known as the vocalist for the legendary rock band Black Sabbath from 1987 to 1991, and again from 1993 to 1996. Martin was the longest serving vocalist for Black Sabbath other than founding vocalist Ozzy Osbourne.
He was dismissed from the band in 1991 to accommodate the reunion of the Mob Rules lineup: Tony Iommi, Vinny Appice, Geezer Butler and Ronnie James Dio. He returned to the band in 1993, and left once again sometime in 1996 while the band was on hiatus. He was not "officially" dismissed until 1999.
Martin has since been involved in many other projects (such as Tony Martin Band, M3, The Alliance, Misha Calvin, The Cage, Giuntini Project II), yet his most memorable gig remains his time as frontman of Sabbath, a gig he was originally somewhat reluctant to pursue.
