Timmy Thomas and Steve Winwood Roll Together

Timmy Thomas had a terrific classic soul hit, his biggest, “Why Can’t We Live Together,” back in 1973.  The optimistic song speaks of hope, harmony, and a more peaceful world.

In 2003, Steve Winwood captured the essence of the original song and added some lively organ on his CD, About Time.

Both versions offer gritty organ solos showcasing the virtuosity of Thomas and Winwood on their keyboards.

Thomas wrote the song.  His full length original is 4 minutes, 40 seconds.  Winwood clocks in at 6 minutes, 39 seconds.

Listen to both Thomas and Winwood in this short, 48 second Classic Soul R&B Music Jam Blog mix by yours truly.
