Michael Thompson is one of the most popular and richest Guitarist who was born on February 11, 1954 in Savannah, Savannah, United States. Rock and blues songwriter and guitarist who performed with the Michael Thompson Band.

He worked with Ray Charles on Charles’ final album, Genius Loves Company.

Just as Thompson’s session career was hitting its stride, 1980s studio guitar staple Dann Huff left L.A. for Nashville and put out the word that producers and contractors who wanted him should instead call Michael Thompson. Thanks to the studio engineer Humberto Gatica’s suggestion, Thompson began what would become a decade-long hit-laden association with producer/songwriter David Foster, including a number of Celine Dion records, beginning with “The Power of Love”. It was during another Dion session for Foster in 1995 that R&B singer/songwriter/producer Babyface heard him through the wall of the studio and invited him to play on the project he was there for, the #1 Waiting to Exhale: Original Soundtrack Album for Whitney Houston. Babyface, too, would frequently use Thompson throughout the 1990s, including on the huge hit “Change the World” with Eric Clapton and Babyface’s own hit single, “Every Time I Close My Eyes”. Thompson was in Babyface’s live band for the MTV special, album and DVD Babyface: MTV Unplugged NYC 1997.

Following the tour, Thompson played guitar for the TV series Fame, a gig he would hold for four years, and started his own band, Slang. In 1983 he was invited by Andy Fraser, formerly of Free, to be the guitarist on his album Fine Fine Line, for Island Records (1984).

He has four children with his longtime wife Gloria Thompson.
