Timmy Thomas (born 13 November 1944, Evansville, Indiana) was best known for the hit song, " Why Can't We Live Together " in late 1972. This disc sold over two million copies. He recorded five (5) albums. The last of them called " Gotta Give A Little Love (Ten Years After) " in 1984 on Gold Mountain Records. In this album were included two wonderful tracks entitled " My last affair " and " Same ole song ". " My last affair " Thomas released as a single on SRI Spector Records International in 1982. " Same ole song " Thomas released as a single on Gold Mountain Records in 1984 respectively. I have noticed that many radio producers don’t really play the song " Same ole song " on their radio show. It is unbelievable. In my opinion this song is a fantastic mid-tempo. Composed and produced by Lou Pace. Thomas appeared on Nicole McCloud's 1985 album " What About Me? ", singing a duet with her ca...
