High or not, because addiction is an awful illness, he achieved more in a few short years than most people ever will. A very young Tony Thompson carried an entire group. He was Hi-5! Thankfully his beautifully unique voice is on “wax” for us to enjoy forever. May he Rest In Peace.🕊💙🥀🎤💎 We love & miss you Tony T!
He is something special. Witnessed it first hand when we hung out together one night. I'm still blown away that he actually called me. I still hear his voice. Remembering that hug.😊
I know it's so sad that he didn't overcome his demons he is a once in a generation talent idc what no one says cat's should study him espically after that last versus battle IJS
Tony Thompson is a legend!!! This R&B Group deserves more recognition. I salute Treston Irby for holding his own all those years with Tony. He was the only other member actually singing live. The rest of them were incredible dancers!! Every member brung something special to the group. Tony Thompson will never be forgotten. R.I.P. Roderick Pooh Clark and Tony T🌟🕊️🕊️
Emily Brown they call they self having a concert or something not to long ago. Not only did they sound terrible but they looked terrible also. A couple of the members looked like they been on drugs
Back when a singer sounded exactly as themselves or close as possible to what you heard on the album. Yep the 90's had pure talented singers that could actually sing. Rip T squared
Bernice Hudson man u are so right. tony was tha group!! I sure hate things didn't work out for him then he passed away. tht episode on unsung was deep. this is the first time ive gotten to see live videos where u actually hear how good he was
This is what is missing in r&b music today. A nigga that can actually sang! No auto tune no pitch perfect tools and no lip syncing. Just raw talented vocals. Sooo unfortunate what happened to him. Hi five could've been having a reunion at the soul train or bet awards by now smh rip tony
I keep playing this over and over dam Tony had a mesmerizing voice....his solo album was really good...not sure why he didn't make him the break out solo artist cuz he was definitely Hi Five...sad he was not still here I was looking forward to his new stuff..
His music was to real for the industry like all real artist before us if you're a born to be legend that makes the difference your way they will kill you
Tony was the group. there is no hi-five without tony thompson. treston was soo fake on that unsung documentary. he was jealous of tony and wanted his voice and spotlight
akeem greene yasss glad somebody else said it.. treston always wanted to steal Tony's shine, he was jealous of tony IDC what nobody says.. you can put on this front all he wants to. but treston we see right through you..
I love the group Hi- Five great talent of all of the members. I wish all the other members the best. I miss you Tony Thompson. We all miss you and always be in our hearts and thinking of you. REST IN PEACE TONY T.
Tony's voice is very unique! Still my favorite group of all time, well TONY...because the rest of my brother's are just standing there lip-syncing. Tony's voice, control and style is pure. Gone too soon
Rip Tony Thompson and Pooh miss this group my favorite 90 group growing up still listen to they music and Tony album still till this day Loved the way Tony sang gone to soon but never forgotten hi five waco legends rip Tony Thompson and Pooh
tony's voice was so unique and beautiful nobody else's voice can compare... haven't heard one like his yet! rip tony thompson 🙌🏽 and they forgot to turn trestons mike off im dead you can hear him whispering that had me cracking up
I wish there was more footage too of Tony and the group too..when I was younger I recorded some of their old peformances and stuff on vhs but I don't know what the hell I did with them tapes I use to record everything on tv lol..I was only like 11 when they hit the scene but I still was crushin on tony..lol..me being 34 now I can sure appreciate him a whole lot more..RIP Sexy
B jor by far one of the best!!! Tony was mad talented!!! I just keep thinking things should have been way different for him!!! Im tellin you I think Waco is cursed or something!!!
***** @Waco is cursed LMAO..It be that way sometimes though some people just have the worst luck and even though I know he is a better place, I still feel like all that shit they went through including tony was unfair..but hey they say Life's not fair , That's why its important to count your blessings because someone could be far worse off than you, and enjoy life to its fullest while you are here..May god continue to rest and bless Tony's soul though
b jor I see u on so many videos of tony I'm so glad I'm not the only one obsessed I started feeling like I'm going crazy or something lol he was just so talented & his voice omg!!! It just makes me so sad the way it ended it's like I can't wrap my head around how it even got to that point u know.
If I was older at this time it would've been really nice to see Tony Thompson he look like a very sweet man R. I. P. Tony ❤❤❤ .. Sadly I Was Only 2 when this song came out
Tanisha Rick's, I believe too myself he was a good man, and a handsome man. Tony was back then and still now a great person. Although, he isn't here anymore on earth , but all of us who admire him and love him will always miss him. Let's look into the good within people not always the bad. Miss you Tony T.
A Stellar performance by an exceptional lead singer Tony. The group Hi Five is back. I hope they do this song justice like Tony did. Come on Official Hi Five.
Sing it tony truly truly missed loved the way he sang 🥰 for ever hi five Tony left the world to soon but always be remembered for ever wish I was there to see them my all time favorite 90 group still my favorite group just missing Tony ❤️
You are an idiot. Every group has a lead singer that does most of those vocals. And neither Tony or Toriano were able to do anything by themselves without the group. They all went solo and had a chance to test your theory. Their careers flopped as solo artists
You’re right the rest had no voice at all, yeah there’s a lead singer but the rest of the group is supposed to know how to sing, in this case the members couldn’t sing
Angie Carson Tony flopped because of bad promotion just like the final hi five album faithful flopped because of bad promotion the singles that made it on motion pictures albums is how jive made money bacc they didn't promote it because the group had already established they wasn't going to resign to jive Tony solo album wasn't promoted properly as well he didn't need the other four members all of there music is Tony covering the lead fill ins and baccground vocals so please explain your argument
I could come back to this any day, week, month, or year. Pure vocal talent. No studio needed! #90s #TT #RIP Still listen to their greatest hits album like it just dropped 🎶 Even Tony's solo album.🙏🏾
*It's now Spring 2018...I was a teen when this song came out, but I'll always love it. Tony Thompson was fine as wine, and he had a voice that was smoother than silk...RIP T* 💜
Classic song that still sounds good today. This was, is, & will always be one of my favorite songs!! Tony vocals are so on point. He really should have had a bigger career.
