UPDATE: Hi-Five's Tony Thompson, 1975-2007

Tony, in 1993 I was 32 and I played the crap out of the tape I had of Hi Five! Every song was EXCEPTIONAL! The one tape I could play all the way thru and over and over. You are sadly missed and thankfully with youtube you have not been silenced forever. I can only imagine what a reunion of Hi Five would have been on the soul train awards or some BET special but always they acknowledge the person after they are gone and its way too late. You are loved TONY and sadly missed but your songs will stay in my heart forever. Luv to you and your family, Momduxx

November 17, 2007 at 12:29 pm

I was a big fan of Hi-Five and I thought Tony Thompson was the cutest one out of the gruop.So Tony R.I.P. and keep on singing with the angels in heaven

November 10, 2007 at 10:08 am

i really loved hi- five when i was little, it just broke my heart when i found out that one of the members had passed. i have their song i like the way (the kissing game) as my ring tone.

October 26, 2007 at 11:01 pm

I always felt that his solo album was highly underated. As a fan I have always been entranced by Tony Thompson (Georgeous). I always daydreamed of him being the perfect man for me and singing his version of My Cherie Amore to me and only me, but time went on and I grew up & married, however I always keep "SEXSATIONAL" in my car and bumped it often to remind me of a time in my life that was filled with hopes & dreams. I still cannot accept the news he's gone. Can somebody even tell me 1 good thing thats happened in Waco anyway? Rest in Peace my Beloved Tony, I know you are singing in heaven. MUCH LOVE - Shawnda

October 19, 2007 at 1:21 pm

I LOVE TONY I REMEMBER SEEING HIM IN CLEVELAND HE WAS SO HANDSOME

October 16, 2007 at 7:32 pm

Another legend gone,but not for gotten. HI-Five was my first abulm i brought and I rocked it until the tape pop! Tony was a good lead singer and was FINE ass hell too. I as a fan can't ask why so soon only GOD knows. Missing your music rest in peace.

October 16, 2007 at 12:27 pm

I grew up on hi five. I use to push that solo project tony thompson released in '95. It had the best producers: baby face, mary j. blige, faith evans, joe and one of the guys from jodeci just to name a few. Hip hop was new and just evolving and his solo project had it's place along side biggie, christopher williams mary faith usher and quite a few others that made black music what is was in the '90's. It's sad that so many great artist and great cd's never get the attention they deserve. I use to see him alot here in dallas performing and he still had it. I am just finding out he passed. So sad. r.i.p. whodi. fo sho

October 12, 2007 at 5:16 pm

i stayed up at 4:27. When I was on youtube it said r.i.p. Tony Thompson, so I was thinking who was that. So I went on google to look up hi five. I went on vibe and I t said Tony Thompson I cried so bad I couldn't stop. My love goes out to his friend and family.

October 7, 2007 at 3:31 am

this breaks my heart in every way. i grew up listening to and loved hi-five. tony had the most beautiful voice. rest in peace.

October 4, 2007 at 8:58 pm

I can't belive this! I know that it's late, but I've been having there tunes in my head all day and I just happen to be looking up info on there whereabouts and this is what I found!!
My cousin is from Waco and we grew up on their music and use to see them as a group hanging out in the mall. I'm so sorry and I send my sympathy to his loved ones! GOD BLESS!!

September 30, 2007 at 7:52 pm

Damn!!!!!!R.I.P Tony. We love you.

September 27, 2007 at 7:56 pm

DAMN TONY! RIP BABYBOY! LUV YA!

September 27, 2007 at 4:51 pm

Man, I'm late as weell. I love his voice . Singing came so easy to him. My prayers are with his family.

September 26, 2007 at 2:34 pm

This is a tragic loss to the Music World. My prayers go out to his family, friends and fans. I have enjoyed his music for years. RIP

September 22, 2007 at 12:59 am

Wow! I'm sooooo late. Hi-Five is one of my favorite groups. I'm sorry to hear that he died.

September 21, 2007 at 6:38 pm

I don't know about youa'll but playing hi-five music brings back some of the best memories of my life a time where our generation was exploring new beginings and relationships Hi-five made those unforgettable times more powerful then ever. The high top fade, b-ball, old E, the running man, there was crazy things we used to do. That generation from the late 80's and 90's will never be duplicated it really was a remarkable time for me. Now that most of my memories have been faded by work and resposability and Tony is gone his music will always bring back those hidden memories in my mind that music so rarely does. And that will never die.

September 19, 2007 at 12:43 pm

Well I know this might be late for some. Tony Thompson I am happy to have had you in my teen years as well as my grown man years. Your music was great. I feel like you were slept on, but real peeps stuck with you. I love HI-Five and your solo project. I just want 2 say thanx for giving us you. God bless I will continue 2 smile for those who are shedding tears.

September 18, 2007 at 10:52 am

I've just heard about Tony's death this evening, what a shock! this is so odd as I heard "I like the way the kissing game " yesterday late on the radio for the first time and was thinking about how Hi-Five members and Tony have been doing now.
Hi Five is my favourite R&B group and will remain, they made me discover R&B in 1993 when I was 17. I grew up with songs, everytime I listen to them their music brought me back to the good old days, my high school years. I'm very deeply sad today as we lost one of the most talented singer of his generation. R.I.P TONY.THANKS FOR BROUGHTING US A LOT OF EMOTION AND HAPPINESS THROUGH YOUR MUSIC. WE LOVE YOU ALL. WE WILL MISS YOU

September 15, 2007 at 1:14 pm

I can't believe this I heard nothing of his passing. He was a friend on myspace. I met him many years ago in New York when he was just starting out with his group.He was such a talented young man . God Bless him and his family!

September 3, 2007 at 9:52 am

Happy Birthday..Tony

Tony's older sister Alice age 34..passed away This past Thursday of an apparent heart attack in her sleep..Please respect the family..For those that think it is funny to joke about somebody's death..you need to get a life ASAP!!..We all have our exit day..don't make fun of other people's misfortune...death may come for you or a member of your family next..Death is one thing none of us can escape...For those who have displayed kind words and sympathy..Keep it coming..God Bless!!

September 1, 2007 at 3:32 pm

August 30, 2007 at 6:58 pm

Oh my God. I love Hi-five. I just recently started to make a CD with their greatest hits and thinking back to the good old days. I can't believe it. I loved Tony like no other it's funny because I was just telling my mother about how much I loved this group the other night. And how many posters and centerfolds that I had of him in my room growning up to find out he has passed is like finding out a really good friend has died. That voice and the smile will never be replaced. R.I.P Tony you will be greatly missed

August 27, 2007 at 9:28 pm

Hi-Five was always a favorite group of mine. I have thier CD and it is in very good condition. I miss all of them.

August 27, 2007 at 4:37 pm

I was deeply sadden over the loss of Tony Thompson. His voice was one of a kind and thr0ugh his music he lives on.

August 21, 2007 at 6:18 pm

August 18, 2007 at 8:53 pm

Tony will be missed my heart goes out t o his family

August 17, 2007 at 2:07 pm

It's so sad that we have that Tony left so young.May god give the Thompson's family and Hi Five strength and guidance in this time of sorrow

August 15, 2007 at 10:40 pm

As a teen, I loved the music of Hi Five. I can remember having such a crush on Tony, as many girls did. Tony's loved ones are and will remain in my prayers. God Bless!

August 13, 2007 at 7:16 pm

I was really hurt when I found out that Tony had passed. He was one of my favorite singers. I had a real crush on him. It is so sad that we have lost such a talent. I will truely miss him.

August 12, 2007 at 3:43 pm

Wow i am in shock! Am like teary eye, its just so sad, I was and still am a fan of HI-5,I loved there songs, music, style, it is just so sad when you lose such good talent, regardless of how they passed. May he rest in peace, and may he sing to the angels of heaven above. And may his family be well at times like this.
hugzz lil mary

August 10, 2007 at 12:39 am

tony will be sadly missed. I just purchased the greatest hits cd by Hi- Five. My condolences goes out to his family. I grew up listening to them and was wondering what happened to them.

August 9, 2007 at 6:30 pm

He will sadly missed my condolences go out the family. I remember growing up listening to his music we are the age. R.I.P Tony

August 7, 2007 at 1:24 pm

I know that someone is going to get the wrong idea when they read my last post, so I just want to say that I miss Tony and loved him as if he were my flesh and blood. So, I can only imagine what his family must be going through. It's hard for me to pick a favorite Hi-Five song, but I would have to say that it's a tie between "Can't Wait Another Minute" and "Never Should've Let You Go." I remember the scene in Sister Act 2 when the song played. It was when Sister Mary Clarence came over to convince Lauryn Hill's mama to let her back in the choir. Ya'll remember that? That song was one of those Saturday afternoon clean up around the house songs... Oh God! I can't believe that he's gone. I know that he's in a better place, but it's still so hard to believe. He seemed like one of the few artists whom I could've expressed my true appreciation to and he would've been genuinely thankful. My heart goes out to the family for their tremendous loss. To his son...you had an incredible father. You have some serious shoes to fill, my brotha! My heart breaks for his mother and siblings. R.I.P.

August 7, 2007 at 12:01 am

I just cannot believe that he's gone. I feel like I knew him. I have cousins who look something like him, so it's kind of like he is my family. I absolutely love all of the Hi-Five hits. The music just puts me in an indescribable mood. I would die to have a talent as awesome as Tony's. Along with the emotion of sadness, also comes anger b/c I don't understand how someone so talented could let himself go like that. If the drug overdose speculation is true and he could hear me, I would say, "Tony, how can you be so selfish? Don't you realize how much your family and legions of others loved you? You were working on a new album. Why did you do this? It makes no sense whatsoever." My heart goes out to his family, especially to his sister, Tonya, who sent me a myspace message. Rest in peace, "King T.U.T."

August 6, 2007 at 11:37 pm

I am so sad about this. I just heard about it on XM and I thought the dj was confused. I still listen to High-5 as well as Tony Thompson's Sexsational CD. I am 28 years old, so I grew up listening to him. I am so saddened by this. I know I had heard the group on the Wendy Williams Show last year, so I am just in amazed about this. My prayers go out to his family and friends and I will never ever forgot High-5 or Tony. Sending my love and prayers. RIP

July 23, 2007 at 2:57 pm

HIFIVE WAS AGREAT GROUP TO LISTEN TO DURING MY HIGHSCHOOL YEARS.TONY ALWAYS STOOD OUT TO ME BECAUSE I HAD THE BIGGEST CRUSH ON HIM.I'M SORRY TO HIS FAMILY,FRIENDS,AND FANS FORTHIER LOSS.

July 19, 2007 at 9:41 am

He had a very good voice nand I was waiting on a REUNION. He will be missed and his family is in my prayers

July 18, 2007 at 4:32 pm

I was saddened at the news about Tony Thompson's death. He and High Five made huge contributions to the sounds of the 80's. For the family, please take comfort in knowing that his life was full, because he was able to share with the world the talent that GOD blessed him with. Not too many people are that fortunate.

July 17, 2007 at 5:12 pm

I always a big fan of Hi-Five since I was about 14. To hear about Tony Thompson is very shocking to me. My heart and prays goes out to his family and friends. To his family, you guys stay strong and you all will meet again in a better place. SORRY FOR YOUR LOST AND GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!!

July 17, 2007 at 4:10 pm

I was telling my cousin that we need to go on a talk show and have hi five up there so we can see them cause i loved hi 5 since i was 13 , 14 but now one of the members are dead and its to late for me to meet him. I wish I had went on and tried to meet the group with all of them but now it might be hard for them to come out with out tony but i will love to see them one day when it anit to late and I will. RIP tony U will be miss Love you always Kaity G from n.c

July 17, 2007 at 12:35 am

thats so sad that he's dead he sucha
good singer

July 16, 2007 at 10:53 pm

I was just reading "sister 2 sister" mag and i saw that Tony had passed, I had been wondering for years what he was doing these days. I still listen to hi-five and was in love with Tony. I am so saddened to see that when I finally see an article about Tony, it was announcing his death.

July 16, 2007 at 7:34 am

greetings to the family and friends of Tony.without sounding off a cliche may the Lord bring you closer as a family.so many times we take LIFEfor granted even to the point where we believe God owes us another day because we arer just not ready to die.but in a world full of sin,self gratification and outright disregard for Jesus,justice or just being cordial what can one expect?may we remember Tony ,his voice,smile and kind spirit and look at why God has given us another day on this earth.may we also not fool ourselves into thinking that everybody who dies automatically goes to heaven.the bible says those who call upon the name of the Lord jesus christ shall be saved.america as we celebrate the life of one of the most beloved singers let us not forget to put God first,keep God first and remember whatever you do for Him will last.(matthew 5:4).

July 15, 2007 at 9:05 pm

I miss you Tony.
I was so hurt to hear that Tony Thompson passed away. I have every album that has anything to do with Hi Five. I cried when I heard the news as if it was my own flesh and blood. I pray for his family. May God heal his family of all pain and suffering. I pray for Tony's soul and that he is in a better place. I love you Tony. Even though I never met you in person I will always remember you. Your music style alone gave an expression on who you are, I loved it. You will be always be missed and loved in my heart. I love you Tony and Hi Five

July 13, 2007 at 4:10 pm

Tony was only a couple of years younger then I am. I grew up listening to Hi-five, they were one of my favorite groups, I just want to say that he will be missed but his spirit & music will live on forever. Prayers for the other members of Hi-five and tony's family.

July 12, 2007 at 1:12 pm

I am so sad to here that Tony Thompson died. I heard it on the raido and it was really tough blow. I remember being in love with his voice when I was little, and it was really good to see him again in these videos. I don't know when or if I ever would've seen those videos again if I hadn't come across this website. He really was too cute for words, and he will be missed unconditonally.

July 12, 2007 at 2:15 am

I appreciate the comments from the people who have positive things to say. All of the accusations aren't called for from the others. I am always thinking of Tony and actually let him know I appreciated him instead of running to add his Myspace page after the fact. Tony's family, real friends and fans keep your heads up.

July 10, 2007 at 5:48 pm

Come on now, you know that it can be an accidental overdose. I doubt this guy was trying to kill himself, so thats why its said to be accidental. Either way its rather tragic. I feel for his family, especially his son. Why are all these great entertainers from the 90's dying so young? I am just hoping that Devante from Jodeci isn't next. R.I.P Tony.

July 10, 2007 at 10:42 am

I'm very sorry to hear about Tony Tompson. My prayers are with Tony and his family. Rest In Peace.

July 8, 2007 at 5:26 pm

Man I really hate that this happened to Tony Thompson. He was one of my favorite singers, and I hate that I never got to see him in concert or in person. To this day (even before his death), I continue to listen to cd's of Hi-Five in my car. ****RIP Tony****

July 5, 2007 at 4:04 pm

Tony Thompson was such a talented singer, I loved his voice and style. The "Kissing Game" is one of my all time favorites.

Sad..Sad indeed.

July 4, 2007 at 9:24 pm

It's sad that you meant so much to us and it took a tragedy for us to truly see how talented you were. We miss your music and we love the memories it brings us. I wanted to be a video girl back then :) We will keep the family in our prayers. Thanks for sharing him with us.

July 2, 2007 at 4:56 pm

I just left a concert that was dedicated to tony and dino of H Town. It was a wonderful but sad event. I miss Tony being the main singer in the group. I did not know that Tony had passed untill I heard about the concert last week. I'd just like to say it was not the same without you T and may you rest in pease. Tory, alford, and one of the members of Hi-5 performed well in your honor. My son is a member of your family and never got to know you. Shame on me for that. I know that you were a brilliant person. To everyone else, never shy away from your family. No mater how far they are from you they are take the time to get close to your families and get to know who they are. My son will never know, and it was a funeral missed. Stay close to who you love.

July 1, 2007 at 4:50 am

Man ah man. When do I get a chance to stop weeping. I remember looking at the BET awards the other night thinking man I dont think I have ever cried this hard for a man I didn't know when I looked at the tribute to Gerald Levert. Then when I heard about this today for the first time almost a month after Tony's passing I boo hoo'ed like a baby. It takes a lot to make me cry but Tony and High Fives songs was so sentimental to me. I remember a guy that liked me would sing those songs to me and try to do the dances back in the day. I don't know what else to say except Tony and the other guys are among the very very few young men in these days that still had substance of the old pioneers. I will send up prayers for the family and just know that when everything else runs out the prayers will be stored in the valves of heaven for you. God bless you all and know that Tony "Can't wait another minute" for you all to meet him Glory. So, keep your heads up and make it there. Peace be with you, Chelle from OKC

I JUST WANNA SAY I AM SITTING HERE LISTENING TO YOUR SONGS REMINISCING AND DROPPING TEARS...R.I.P TONY AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY....

June 25, 2007 at 12:43 pm

may your faith along with gods grace be with you as you mourn the loss of your love one.he tells us as y0u may already know that we are suppose to smile when are love ones leaves us and to do the opposite when we see achild born into this world that we live.he doesint judge us when we are sad because he knows that we are born of the flesh and we know not what we do. he forgives us for our sins and our wrong doings,if we ask him to forgive us for what we do. so please rember you have so much to be thankful for you had tony in your lives more than we can ever have him. he was your child, brother, grandchild, aand cousin. his fans, his friends we will remember him. but but you the family, you will forever have memories, along with the son he left to carry his legacy.

June 25, 2007 at 6:32 am

His family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Watching him on that video just now almost brought tears to my eyes. His voice sounded so sweet, even up to his solo album. I still have that one. Man, I was just wondering a while ago what ever happened to that talanted group. May God be with his family in their time of sorrow. R.I.P. No matter what the cause of death is, as long as he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior, he's in a better place. I believe that....

June 24, 2007 at 10:38 pm

My Condolences go out to the Family of this tragic death, I just found out today when I recieved my jet in the mail, then went online to research it , I still hear his songs all the time on my XM radio, and now I will think of him next time I hear a song from Hi-five, my prayers are with the Family at this sad time.

June 22, 2007 at 11:19 pm

I just found out the news of Tony's death from a very close friend who was reading the Jet mazagine. I couldn't believe it. I had to go straight to the internet to see for myself. This is such a shock to me I was a big fan of theirs. Years ago I met Tony at the mall when they visited Memphis. He was so nice and very handsome with his deep dimples. He gave me a autograph and told me that he was there shopping for his niece. I thought that was so sweet. He had a sweet personality and was so nice. I'll never forget that day or this one for that matter. I will truly miss u! My sincere condolences go out to his family!

June 22, 2007 at 10:25 pm

Tony will truly be missed. Hi-five was one of my favorite groups growing up. My prayers go out to his family. We Miss You TONY.....

June 22, 2007 at 10:17 pm

I was 13 when Hi-Five first came out in 1990. I was on my way out of junior high school at the time. I didn't find out that he was dead until I went to the New Jack Swing website. It is a major loss. I going to miss you and your honey-sweet voice, Tony. I'm offering my condolences to his family.
RIP TONY

June 22, 2007 at 4:15 pm

iLOVE THE GROUP HI-FIVE HES GOING TO BE MISS. pRAYER GOES OUT TO THE FAMILY AND THE MEMBER OF THE HI-FIVE FAMILY

June 22, 2007 at 11:48 am

I was shocked and sad to read of Tony's death. I had just read about it in Jet magazine two days ago. He had such an incredible voice at such a young age. My two favorite songs by High Five are, Quality Time and Can't wait another minute. I would like to send my condelences to his family and God bless them.

June 22, 2007 at 9:59 am

I loved your voice, smile and dimples!! I was in high school when you guys came out. Your music has touched me so much over the years. The Kissing Game and Can't Wait Another Minute remain two of my most favorite songs of all time. I know that I never met you but your voice and remembering your smile will live on forever in my heart. They still play I Like The Way (Kissing Game) every Friday Night in a local club here in Alabama. I have often said to myself that it is one of the few songs I can hear over and over again and never get tired of hearing, not one time in my entire life. That song puts a huge smile on my face and makes me feel good every single time I hear it. Can't Wait Another Minute would make me cry but in a good way as it was such a beautiful song sang by a beautiful young man with such a tender beautiful voice. Thank you and may you rest in piece.

June 21, 2007 at 1:55 pm

I am truly saddened to hear of your passing. I have forever been a big fan of you and Hi Five. I Like the Way and Can't Wait Another Minute remains to be two of my favorite songs by far to date. Your music, your voice, and warm smile truly touched me. Words cannot describe what a big fan of yours I was and still are and of how my heart aches as I just have heard of your untimely passing. You were truly talented. My God bless. R.I.P.

June 21, 2007 at 10:01 am

I just found out about TONY today 6-20-07 when my new jet magazine arrived . SO here I am .

June 20, 2007 at 3:47 pm

i'm so sorry to hear about the death of tony thompson.at th ame time i'm very upset about published speculation and hearsay of drug overdosage!

June 17, 2007 at 8:53 pm

My uncle just called me today with the horrible news. I refused to believe it until I thoroughly searched the web and I'm...just... I'm from and small town in Mississippi and I had the honor of going to the MC Hammer bust-it tour where Hi-five was featured. I thought I was in heaven. I used to scream at the t.v. when ever I saw their video. And I know I wasn't the only girl who had that relationship with Tony in her head. I just get tickled when I think of how Tony had to hold on to the mic stand to keep from being snatched off of the stage. Every time he was rescued by the other group mates some little girl would find her way back on stage to get a piece of her man! It was so funny but I was afraid that he might have gotten hurt. I was thinking to myself "they'll never come back to MS, ever!" This is truly a shock to me. To the Thompson family my prayers are with you. And remember to keep your focus on God. He is our Comforter in time of need.

June 17, 2007 at 12:43 am

I am still upset over the terrible news of Tony's passing.

I have always cursed the entertainment industry and will continue to curse it for what it does to people. Not everyone is capable of dealing with the industry and the snakes that work in it, even the people who think their strong. This death should have never happened. It's a shame that Tony did not experience the love that we are showing him now that he is gone. I believe that things would be different if he knew he was so loved.

You are at peace now sweet angel. You can sing in the choir above where there is not hurt, no passing judgement and no pain.

You'll be missed but no forgotten.

Good Bye Sweet Angel.

His voice was incredibly rich and soulful. He was one of my favorite vocalist. I was listening to how he killed the track on "Never Should've Let You Go" and I started wondering what he was up to and that's when I found out....totally killed my mood. He will sorely missed. RIP man, what a voice!

I just cannot believe it. I had to search the web to make sure it was the right Tony Thompson. I loved him to death. My favorite song was "unconditional love". Everytime I hear it, I think of the boy I fell in love with back then, Corey Tompson, who I still love till this day. He will be truly missed. RIP, Tony.

from the UK tony thompson will surely be missed from E.5, E.8, E.9 i know my older brother and his friends grew up on this era i was young but i still knew good music and hi five are one of the greatest!!!!!!

My heart goes out to the Thompson Family. Tony was a "calm in the middle of a storm", his voice brought such pleasure to R&B. Though he and the Hi-Five group have been off the scene for some time now. I've always reflected on that one song he sang, "Unconditional Love" off the Menace II Society soundtrack. Tony will truly be missed by his longtime fans. R.I.P. TONY............

I THINK I CAN TAKE A FAMILY MEMBER PASSING BETTER THAN I CAN TAKE THIS I STILL CANT GET OVER HE CAME TO MY JOB AND PERFORMED B4 IN THE EARLY 90S WE STILL HAVE HIS PICTURES UP

June 12, 2007 at 4:11 pm

Tony will be greatly missed. I think I'm still in shock.....I had to see if for myself to believe it. My sympathy and prayers are with your family Tony.

June 12, 2007 at 2:22 pm

I am still in shock. I was a die hard Hi-Five fan. I was in Jr. High when they came out and that was one of the first concerts I ever went to. Tony was very gifted. I have all his CD's (and a cassette tape). My deepest sympathy to his family and friends. My thoughts and prayers are with. May the Lord comfort you and give you strength.

I couldn't believe my ears, I am so sorry for your lost. God bless the Thompson family I'm praying for you. He was a beautiful artist and a beautiful person. He blessed us with his music while bringing back so many memories. "Look to the lord from which cometh your help".

June 11, 2007 at 11:57 am

my heart and prayers go out to the family and friends of this handsome and talented young man

June 10, 2007 at 8:04 pm

I honor his talent, I honor his success, I honor the legacy that he has left behind. Growing up in the 90's I most certainly remember listening to Hi-Five and watching their videos. I will miss Tony, I will miss Hi-Five. As with TLC's devastating loss of "Left Eye" Lisa Lopes. The loss of Tony Thompson is just as devastating. Tony may you rest in peace...(silence) May God bless you and the Thompson family, be strong! Thanks for the memories.

June 10, 2007 at 6:01 pm

Wow, this is so tragic, he was such a talented young man! I really loved Hi-Five and their music and Tony's voice was so rich and sweet.

June 10, 2007 at 4:02 pm

I just found this out today and this is soooo devasting to hear. I just loved Hi-Five growing up... my cousin and I used to wish and dream that we could play the kissing game with the Hi-Five Members! :) It is becoming almost sickening to see our young generation dissipating from addictions to violent crimes either they have committed or out of there control. My condolences go out to his family and friends. Wise up people God has bigger plans for all us. Peace, Love and Happiness.

June 10, 2007 at 2:59 pm

Tony's voice is like no other singer. He cannot be compared to anyone (If your saying he can I challenge you to tell me who). You know those great singers that can evoke emotions out of you, Tony had the ability to do that to me. You will be missed sweet heart but definitely not forgotten. Hi-five's number 1 fan straight out of Toronto,Canada. RIP Tony(I love you Angel).

June 10, 2007 at 10:11 am

this was a big shocker to me. he will be truly missed. I grew up listening to hi five. To this day i still play hi five tape along with tony's solo album. He was on of the those people you always wanted to me. I just wish i would have still had that chance.

To his family be strong and always remember that he was and will always be loved by the people he touched.

Tony Thompson will be soooo deeply missed. He was an amazing and talented young man who's music was a great part of my childhood. I seriously cannot believe he is no longer with us in person, but his spirit will always live on. May God bless his family and friends throughout this difficult time. Hi Five were a fantasic group who in my opinion, should never have split. Listening to them reminds me of my childhood but also is a joy to listen to - their sound was unique, beautiful and always a pleasure to hear. I often had their music on repeat, driving my family mad! RIP Tony Thompson. You'll never be forgotten here in th UK. May God comfort, guide and keep your family well.

June 9, 2007 at 7:04 pm

Hi-Five was a great group they should have never broken up but they had some great hits that brings back memories of the 90's quality time was my favorite tony thompson will be missed very muchfor his great voice god bless him and his family i hope they released his lastest music he working on (R.I.P)Tony Thompson you'll never be Forgotten!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
