Tony Middleton was born 26 June 1934 in Richmond, Virginia where he grew up and went to school. In the mid 50s, when he was in his late teens Tony moved with his mother to New York. He excelled at sports and he boxed as an amateur into his early twenties. Tony joined the 5 Willows in 52 and became their lead singer, recording and performing with them until late 57 when he went solo. Though Middleton recorded more than 30 solo singles he also cut many more demos and commercials. His voice was used on a movie score when he moved to Paris and his name has been linked with some of the biggest names in the business like Burt Bacharach, Michel Legrand, Stan Applebaum, Leiber & Stoller, Johnny Pate and Klaus Ogermann etc. He moved to Paris, France in 62.
Middleton cut his first French session with Michel Legrand, who wrote the score for Joseph Loseys movie Eva which starred Jeanne Moreau and Stanley Baker. Tonys contribution was the glorious vocal on Adam & Eve that was featured in the movie and was issued on a Phillips EP in Europe and the UK. Phillips also issued two US singles stateside in 63 and 64 Send Me Away and Too Hot To Handle but with little to no promotion, they went the way of his earlier sides. While in Paris, Tony shortened his surname to Milton and cut a number of well known songs like I Cant Stop Loving You and Comin Home Baby,
