Timmy Thomas

Though perhaps best known for the skeletal organ groove of his 1972 hit "Why Can't We Live Together," R&B vocalist, keyboardist, songwriter and producer Timmy Thomas enjoyed a long and storied career in various sectors of the music industry. After making solo albums throughout the '70s and into the '80s, Thomas transitioned into a production role in the '90s, though he continued releasing singles and one-off records like the 1993 compilation With Heat & Soul. Thomas' music was still being discovered well into the 2000s and beyond when artists like Drake and Darren Espanto covered his songs or sampled them for new hits.
