Why Can't We Live Together is the debut album by Timmy Thomas released in 1972. It was historically the first record to fully replace drummers with a drum machine. The album reached number ten in 1973 on the US R&B albums chart on the strength of the million-seller single, "Why Can't We Live Together".

All songs written by Timmy Thomas except where indicated

On AllMusic, Andrew Hamilton quoted This album was originally released on Glades Records following Thomas' million-selling Why Can't We Live Together which qualifies as the cheapest Top 10 hit ever made. The session consists of Timmy Thomas singing and accompanying himself on organ. The rest of the album is almost as sparse. If you like a lot of production, you won't find it here. Remakes of The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face and the Chi-Lites' "Coldest Days Of My Life won't make you ditch the original versions. And with the exception of the title track, the originals are forgettable".
