Tom Hooker or Thomas Barbey (born Thomas Beecher Hooker on November 18, 1957) is an American singer and photographer.
Barbey, best known as Tom Hooker, was brought to Europe when he was six months old. At the age of ten, he started his musical career as a drummer. At 13, he created his first band. At 15, he first appeared in public at a concert as a drummer/singer. He studied languages in Switzerland.
In 1980, he moved to Italy, where he was discovered by Italian producers. His first hit was "Flip Over", b/w the track "We Can Start It All Over Again". He had his first major success in 1986 with "Looking for Love". His later work included collaborations with several other artists and producers, including Eddy Huntington, for whom he provided several lyrics, including those for the Europe-wide hit "USSR".
By 1988, he moved to photography and his music style changed with his single "No More Heaven". His last single was "Run Away", which was a commercial failure.
I put a spell on you, because you're mine
You'd better stop the things that you do
I ain't lyin'
I just can't stand it babe
The way you always run around
I just can't stand it,
The way you alwys try to put me down
I put a spell on you, because you're mine
I put a spell on you, because you're mine!
You'd better stop the things you do
I ain't lying, you know I ain't lyin'
I just can't stand it babe
The way you always run around
I just can't stand it
The way you always try to put me down
I put a spell on you, because you're mine
Because you're mine!
I love you, I love you, I love you oh! Baby oh!
And I don't care if you don't want me
I'm yours right now
I put a spell on you, because you're mine
Because you're mine,
