	Tony Thompson vs. Dominick Guinn (June 28, 2006)
		Thompson continued to pull away in the second half of the fight and returned to scoring not only from distance but also in close quarters against his opponent, who repeatedly made the mistake of moving right rather than left.
		Thompson connected with a number of punishing shots and referee Jon Schorle seemed on the verge of halting the contest simply because Guinn was unable to return fire.
		Thompson continued to tee off on Guinn for the rest of the round, and he was forced to retreat and simply offered little to no resistance.

		Thompson is passionate about non representational painting, but then he moved to Upstate New York and was inspired by the local landscape, the same which the Hudson River School painters.Thompson now lives in Hudson / Watervliet, NY, where he works on both representational and abstract styles.

	VH1.com : Tony Thompson : Biography - Urge Music Downloads
		Hailing from New York City, Thompson made a name for himself in the late '70s as one of the dance movement's leading drummers -- due to his hard-hitting style (which hinted that his playing was equally influenced by hard rock).
		Thompson's stature as one of rock's leading drummers only became greater by the middle of the decade, as he participated in the all-star Duran Duran side project, the Power Station.
		Thompson continued as a session drummer afterwards (appearing on recordings by Robert Palmer, Duran Duran, Platinum Blonde, Rod Stewart, and Jody Watley), but by the '90s appeared to vanish entirely -- although he appeared sporadically as part of "tribute" albums (Jimi Hendrix's Stone Free, Queen's Stone Cold Crazy, and Aerosmith's One Way Street).

	Obituary: Tony Thompson \| Obituaries \| Guardian Unlimited
		Tony Thompson, who has died of cancer aged 48, was among the finest of all pop/rock drummers.
		And thanks to sampling, Thompson's beat, buried in Fatman Scoop's recent UK number one hit Be Faithful - a sample of Chic's Chic Cheer - continues to be.
		Although he was gravely ill, when I interviewed Thompson recently for a forthcoming book he joked about his friend and "talented cat" Robert Palmer (obituary, September 27), and was keen to discuss his input to the group that deserve more than the footnote they are assigned in pop history.

		Thompson, who was born in New York, played on all the Chic hits.
		Chic was a disco group that didn't sound to me like a disco group and Tony was a big reason for that, He didn't ride the hi-hat like a lot of the disco-era drummers did; he just played the hell out of the drums.

	This page is dedicated to the memory of my friend Tony Thompson (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-10)
		Tony flew straight to Los Angeles from England after being released from the hospital, with barely a word, having established a life that I knew nothing about while there for a Zildjian photo shoot in September of 1985.
		Then Tony, completely nervous on the inside, but confident on the outside, said, ‘I’m available if you’re looking for a drummer….completely available.’ I vaguely remember David saying that he thought Tony was completely busy and involved with other projects.
		Tony’s expertise in rhythmic complexity and his sheer strength and power, when not confined by a ‘simplistic disco’ beat, exploded in his later work with David Bowie, Power Station and Robert Palmer.
