Timmy Thomas – Why Can’t We Live Together (Edição HB 2016)
“Why Can’t We Live Together” is a song by Timmy Thomas from the album Why Can’t We Live Together. The song is notable for its sparse, stripped-down production, which featured only a Lowrey organ, percussion from an early rhythm machine and Thomas’s passionate, soulful vocal. Thomas first sang it as an improvised number in his own nightclub, the Denisse Lounge.Afterwards, following positive audience reception he wrote it as a full song. Thomas recorded a demo at Dukoff Recording Studios in North Miami, Florida, with Bill Borkan acting as sound engineer.The single version got more airplay because the longer instrumental coda was considered by many radio stations to be closer to jazz records staff producer Steve Alaimo listened to the demo of the song and was going to re-cut it with a full band, but then decided the song was already finished the way it was.[1] Released as a single in late 1972, the song became a major hit in the U.S. during the early part of 1973, reaching the number one spot on the R&B chart, number three on the Billboard Pop Singles[2] and eventually selling over two million copies. It was also a hit in the UK as well, peaking at #12.[3] There was a re-release on 7″ and 12″ in 1979, with a live version as B-side on the 7″ European release.[4]
No matter no matter what color, mmmm you are still my brother. If only everyone thought that way… what a beautiful world it would be. I love watching his feet… never seen anyone do that before. Have loved this song for many of my 60 yrs on this earth.
