Tony Thompson: The Session Musicians

Tony Thompson: The Session Musicians

Tony Thompson is best known as a member of Chic and The Power Station, but his session drumming speaks volumes. While his authoritative, four-on-the-floor groove creates a definitive disco feel on Sister Sledge’s “We Are Family,” Thompson serves up a titanic rock wallop on Robert Palmer’s “Addicted to Love.” And on Duran Duran’s cover of Sly Stone’s “I Wanna Take You Higher,” his work blends dance rock and psychedelic soul.
