LOST&FOUND!!.......2002-12-04
Raw groove.......1998-12-06
This CD showcases a raw groove, Thomas singing at least as well as Marvin Gaye, often accompanied by lounge bar style soul/R&B backing.
The excellent liner notes explain that Thomas has a more than respectable jazz training with some really famous stars of the 50s and 60s. Yet Thomas brings jazz cool to his own sould, R&B, funk and disco songs.
To set the scene remember Thoms had his own Miami bar - "Timmy's Lounge Bar" in the early 1970s. Early tracks express this perfectly with Thomas playing a lowery organ with drum machine.
The title track, "Why Cant we live together?", is an incredible hippie soul standard, melding Marvin Gaye and Martin Luther King. It is probably better known as the last track on Sade's first album "Diamond Life".
Although Thomas was a hit wonder the balance of the album is still very cool.
If the black urban funk of 70s black action films is for you then so is Timmy Thomas. This albums fit in perfectly with the sounds of "Shaft", Trouble Man", "Superfly", "Foxy Brown", "Cleopatra Jones" and more.
If this is all too long ago think of "Jackie Brown" and Bobby Womack's "Across 100th street" and go south to Miami, you've found Timmy Thomas.
