Timothy E. "Timmy" Thomas (born November 13, 1944) is an American R&B singer, keyboardist, songwriter and record producer, best known for the hit song, "Why Can't We Live Together". In 1972, Thomas played sessions for the TK group labels, signing to the Glades Records imprint, where, later that year, he released "Why Can't We Live Together". The record topped the U.S. Billboard R&B chart, made the top three in the Billboard Hot 100, and Top Ten in many other countries. In the United Kingdom the track peaked at #12 in the UK Singles Chart. This disc sold over two million copies. Thomas followed up the release with "People Are Changin" (B-side "Rainbow Power"), which reached the charts in 1973. In 1974, he released the album You're The Song I Always Wanted To Sing. He went on to release six further Glades singles and then, in 1975 recorded a duet with Betty Wright entitled "It's What They Can't See". From 1976 through 1980, Thomas recorded singles for both the Glades imprint and the T.K. Disco label, including "Stone To The Bone", "Africano", "Touch To Touch", "The Magician", "Freak In, Freak Out", and "Drown In My Own Tears" and the albums "The Magician" (Glades, 1976) and "Touch To Touch" (Glades, 1977). He also continued to work on sessions for TK Records artists, including Gwen McCrae, and in later years as a producer. Thomas went on to record several R&B hits culminating in "Gotta Give A Little Love (Ten Years After)", a U.S. Top 30 soul entry in 1984 for Gold Mountain Records.
