Timmy Thomas - Why Can't We Live Together (Countdown, 1986)

[@alisonl6723]

Look at the audience .. just sitting there doing nothing… in the presence of a masterpiece 😢

[@dailyadventures.]

This was an average experience back then, so much incredible music. We would just sit together to listen and appreciate a new song …seems weird now but actually more reverent in its way.

[@artful1designer]

Like it is going right over their heads.

Don't even know what time it is, Classic

[@Giveupyerowlsins]

Imagine now If you remembered being in the audience, knowing what this song means to so many people

[@MCTooTall]

Oh man! Whoever fails to recognize just how epic this is and it’s place in human history, both the song and performance, just hasn’t lived and I suggest they go research the impact of minimalist music like this on music as a whole and the influence guys like this musical genius have on artists today.

[@veragarcia1105]

Concordo.uma obra prima mesmo!🎉❤

Merci Monsieur Thomas 🇨🇵

Heard the song today..love it..Was released 1972 when we were all brothers..down for the struggle together..just trying to maintain our own existence..then politics, social media, and news shows divided us....sad times..

[@jpq6257]

@harly5571 "1972 when we were all brothers" - Kidding ? Or stoned or not born yet I Guess ? Sorry may sound a bit harsh; but 1972 *we" were NOT brothers at all !

[@kevingoins9858]

​@jpq6257 maybe in your sad corner of the world😊

[@jpq6257]

@@kevingoins9858 Thanks for your kind reply, "brother"

[@trabalhador3740]

He expresses his song with soul and emotion. Amazing voice.

[@frankw9836]

Sade did this song well as well

[@LindaOliver-e8q]

Here it is October 2024 and this question is even more relevant today than when it was recorded.

[@markriobr]

Always on any playlist i did for me. Never get tired hearing with him or Sade

[@Frank-sm9yl]

A great time for music and a dreadful time for music. This is a gem.

[@mjwatson31]

Timeless masterpiece

[@sylviagarza8137]

1972 was an amazing year ! With all these’s songs this song brings back memories

[@johnrobinson4281]

I'll always love this song real talk why can't we all live together

[@LouisCapps-p3z]

Master piece song. Kick ass Timmy Thomas. This song will live forever

[@suniyawilliams8376]

Rip Timmy and this is the best song his ever made in my opinion

[@Basman59]

Just so glad I was a teenager in the 70s...my love of soul, proper R&B, Reggae thanks to my parents love of Motown makes me love this and those versions that followed, Sade, Santana, and Stevie Winwood, not to forget Joan Osborne. BUT, Timmy rips it up and makes it bloody hard to follow like a lost first love. God do we need more of this now more than ever.

[@frankw9836]

70s & 80s BEST time in Human history !! I am sorry for those Kids today who have to grow in this woke world today

[@thabiletladi4687]

​@frankw9836 Best times ever.We had Best music the groove was on another level.You correct Sir.We were a blessed generation

[@arlonzoscott4443]

This is where Sade got this song - he did a great job and loved Sade almost dead on version!never saw him perform wow!

[@SuperBeachbum74]

Own them both but prefer sades !

[@GQLewis]

This song is masterful. This is that What's Going On, Mercy Me generation. Beautiful, soulful, socially conscience messages that are just as important today as they were 50 years ago. Songs like Is it because I'm black, and Wake Up Everybody should have a renaissance. These songs will never grow old. Bravo!

[@isrberlinerin4063]

I agree and i say too love has no color !

[@energyasylum997]

Timmy rockin’ the Jheri curl! INCREDIBLE TIMELESS MASTERPIECE!!

[@AmericanBornGrappler]

Probably one of the greatest songs ever written, his piano technique and his voice is awesome. Thank you, Sir. 🙏🏻🇺🇸

[@JustLocal]

Just an act for tv!

[@prapanchkokkalemada2307]

Just wow. Truly an unappreciated masterpiece

[@marionmathis7343]

I agree the people sitting there with no rhythm awesome song

[@londonroulette]

Love how that keyboard is not plugged in lol. They could at least plugged it in. Timeless tune. Timmy Thomas love you man. Sad, sad you’re gone.

[@jamenlyndon3695]

Nah bruz it has plugs but this may be lip synced!? What do you think all? Timmy still rules either way

This is the essence of music, i dont know how i lived widouth this until now

[@sonjajanssen6368]

I was 14 years and I hear it the first time in our youth house.❤❤❤❤

[@maritzburger]

I too heard it when I was about 16 at a friends house, remember the place and time, that how much this resonated with me. Were both in our late 50's and I reminded him of this. Music has the ability to bring the world together in peace and love, just wish more people would really LISTEN ☮🤟

[@invisiblemaninvisibleman2097]

Even back then a very unique and provocative song.
