"I Won't Be Home Tonight" by Tony Carey

Tony Carey made his first claim to fame in the 70s as keyboardist for the classic rock band Rainbow. He went solo in the 80s and scored a few modest hits, the biggest being "A Fine Fine Day", which climbed to #22 in 1984.

His first charting single as a solo artist, "I Won't Be Home Tonight", is a rocking AOR gem that should have made a bigger splash in 1983, yet it only reached #79. The prolific Tony Carey also is the voice and songwriter in the band, Planet P (aka Planet P Project).
