This may surprise many! "Living Together" by The Jacksons is only available on a Canadian 45
tucked away on the B side to "Dreamer", otherwise album only from "The
Jacksons". It's from their mid 70s Philly period.
"Living Together" was written by Dexter Wansel and reminds me of
elements of Archie Bell & The Drells "Everybody Have A Good Time",
which came out the same year, so I had a look to see if Wansel also
wrote it but it was Bunny Sigler.
"Dreamer" was written by Gamble & Huff and was only released as a
promo in US but charted at #22 in UK (but didn't have "Living Together"
on the flip before you rush out to find one!).
Prices are rising on this one now that the cat is out of the bag, so
expect to pay upwards of around £60 if/when one becomes available as
there are currently none for sale on Discogs, or just buy the album for a
few quid as there are plenty of those around!
Whilst we are here I may as well post a couple of other Jacksons tracks. "Blues
Away" (written by Michael) was the flip side to "Show You The Way To Go" (so can be picked up for literally pennies) and was also on The
Jacksons album. "Even Though You're Gone" (another Gamble & Huff composition) was a UK 45 only and charted
just before "Blame It On The Boogie" in 1978.
