Timmy Thomas

Timmy Thomas is usually significant for having been a significant one-hit wonder with “So why Can’t We Live Together?,” a track recognized by its stripped-down creation — soulful body organ, played apparently improvisationally more than a tempo from a primitive drum machine, with Thomas’ impassioned vocals split over both. The effect was a 1973 strike for Thomas as well as for T.K. Information subsidiary Glades. While Thomas experienced released information before “Why Can’t We Live Collectively?,” and continuing release a them afterwards, non-e of these garnered much in the form of product sales. He continuing to focus on periods for T.K. Information performers (including Gwen McCrae and Clarence Reid’s alter-ego, Blowfly) and may be spotted within the ’90s functioning as a manufacturer for LaFace Information.
