<P> `` Why Ca n't We Live Together '' is a song by Timmy Thomas from the album Why Ca n't We Live Together . The song is notable for being recorded in mono ; its sparse , stripped - down production , feature a Lowrey organ , bossa nova - style percussion from an early rhythm machine , and Thomas 's passionate , soulful vocal . Thomas recorded a demo at Dukoff Recording Studios in North Miami , Florida , with Bill Borkan acting as sound engineer . The single version got more airplay because the longer instrumental coda was considered by many radio stations to be closer to jazz . </P>
