Why Can't We Live Together is a song by Timmy Thomas. The song is notable for its sparse, stripped-down production, which featured only a Hammond organ, percussion from an early rhythm machine and Thomas's passionate, soulful vocal. TK Records staff producer Steve Alaimo listened to a 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. [ [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=33:dnfexqrgldde allmusic : Why Can't We Live Together] ] 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 Pop chart and eventually selling over two million copies. The song has been covered by many artists, including Mike Anthony (1982), Sade (1984), Joan Osborne and Steve Winwood (2005). In 1990, a "Stand Up For Love" re-recording of the song was done by Thomas.
