The Colours of Music
Add a splash of colour to your day with Colours of Music on Coast FM!
Weekdays between 6am and 6pm, the Classic Hits crew is painting the airwaves with iconic tracks from the 60s to the 90s — all featuring a colour in the title.
From the bluesy charm of the 60s, to the golden grooves of the 70s, the purple-hued pop of the 80s, and the bold anthems of the 90s, it's a vibrant playlist that spans four decades of unforgettable music. Think “Black Magic Woman,” “Brown Eyed Girl,” “Yellow Submarine,” “Purple Rain,” “Blue Monday,” “Behind Blue Eyes,” “Red Red Wine,” and so many more classics that coloured a generation.Turn up the nostalgia and let every shade of song brighten your day.

Artist of the Day - Tony Thompson
Tony Thompson (November 15, 1954, New York City, New York, USA – November 12, 2003, Los Angeles, California, USA) was an American drummer.
Tony Thompson started his career as Labelle drummer, then joined Chic from 1977 to 1982. In the 1980's, he played behind artists as diverse as Madonna, Mick Jagger, Debbie Harry, Sister Sledge, Diana Ross, Rod Stewart, Jody Watley, Duran Duran and Robert Palmer.
In 1985, Thompson teamed up with Robert Palmer and Duran Duran's John and Andy Taylor in the rock unit The Power Station. The same year, he joined surviving Led Zeppelin members Robert Plant, Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones, along with second drummer Phil Collins, for a semi-Zeppelin reunion at the star-studded Live Aid concert. After being involved in a serious car accident in 1986, he worked with decreasing frequency in the 1990's.
