Why Can't We Live Together, Timmy Thomas's 1972 debut on TK Records, is a quiet little revolution in soul and funk: it's the first record on which a drum machine did the whole job, with no drummer in sight. That ticking, machine-made pulse gives the music a ghostly, intimate feel.
The title track did the heavy lifting, a single that sold a million copies and pulled the album into the top ten of the US R&B albums chart. It's a lean record, but a strangely forward-looking one.
