Timmy Thomas' timeless classic "
Why Can't We Live Together" remains as powerful and poignant as ever. It's been covered and sampled countless times, and this weekend it got another update courtesy London's
Ash Reynolds. Dealing mainly in disco and funk, Reynolds has stuck to the stripped-down soul roots of the original 1972 recording while adding a tasteful house backing. The captivating and cool organ still sends shivers down your spine, creeping and crawling atop the new percussive bed. And of course Thomas' vocals remain as passionate and pure as ever. However, Reynolds has done more than just put a house beat on the immaculate original, he's given it a subtle, moving groove that fits in almost invisibly it's such a perfect pairing. Stirring both lyrically and now even more so musically, stream
Ash Reynolds' 2020 update of the all-time classic "
Why Can't We Live Together" below.
