Toni Wine (born June 4, 1947 in Washington Heights, New York City) is an American pop music songwriter, who wrote songs for such artists as The Mindbenders ("A Groovy Kind of Love"), Tony Orlando and Dawn ("Candida"), Elvis Presley, and Checkmates, Ltd. ("Black Pearl") in the late 1960s and 1970s. Wine also sang the female vocals for the cartoon music group The Archies, most notably on their #1 hit song "Sugar, Sugar" (singing the line, "I'm gonna make your life so sweet.") However, she did not sing the lead vocal in the song "Jingle Jangle", but her voice is quite prevalent in the chorus; the lead was sung by Ron Dante using his falsetto voice. In addition, Wine was a backing vocalist on Gene Pitney's "It Hurts to Be in Love" and on Willie Nelson's "Always on My Mind."
Career
In 1963, Toni Wine had a nationally charted single with "My Boyfriend's Coming Home For Christmas". It reached #22 on Billboard's "Best Bets For Christmas" survey. She cowrote The Shirelles' early 1964 mid-chart hit "Tonight You're Gonna Fall in Love With Me".

Love Me
by: Africa UniteUn altro giorno senza te
è un fiume in piena che mi scorre
nei pensieri
fermarmi non so
non posso più aspettare
ti cerco e non ci sei
lasciati andare
e non dirmi ancora no
RIT: Sei l'unico pensiero
Sei quello che non ho
Mi manca il tuo respiro
Baby I love you so much
Sei sempre il mio pensiero
Mi manchi e ti vorrei
Lo so che non mi credi ma
Babe I need you so much
Un viaggio nella memoria
mi riporta a quand'eri qui
a dividere il mio tempo
a scaldare i sogni a ritmo lento
love is running away
adesso ascoltami
I need your love tonight
(ragga)
