Together We Can Make Such Sweet Music

About Together We Can Make Such Sweet Music

"Together We Can Make Such Sweet Music" is a 1967 song co-written by Richard Drapkin and Marty Coleman. In 1968 it was assigned to Artie Fields' Top Dog label in Detroit and issued as a 45 by rhythm and blues singer Joe Towns (Top Dog 105). When Top Dog was bought and then absorbed into the Motown stable the song was reissued with production duties from Clay McMurray as two singles for The Spinners, initially as the B-side of "It's a Shame" on Motown's V. I. P. Records. Three years later it appeared as a reworked single for the main Motown label itself. The later release was to cash in on the success of The Spinners since signing for Atlantic Records (and leaving Motown) over a year prior. The song's narrator tells his love that there's no need for them to argue and fight due to how strong their love is when they're together. Two versions of this song were released, both of which were led by one of the group's front man Bobby Smith, with very notable changes. The first Spinners version was more soulful, and featured the group's former front man G. C. Cameron with a lead part on the bridge; this version also appears on their second album, 2nd Time Around. The second version (released in April, 1973) was more conventional and commercial, remixed with additional adjusted instrumentation so it would sound more like the group's hits on the Atlantic label. Upon the song's re-release, "Together We Can Make Such Sweet Music", would hit #91 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts making it the group's last Motown single to chart (and their only Motown song to chart after they left the label). This second version was released on a "Best of the Spinners" LP by Motown the same year. more »

Ho, why should you go to the left
Why should I go to the right
Why must we argue this way
Why must we fuss and fight

Oh, together we can make such sweet music
Together we can make it right
Oh, together we can make such sweet music
Together we can make it right, mmm, mmm

Now when you're feelin' bad, I am feelin' it too
Whatever your dreams are I'll share them with you
Till life has ended I'll stay by your side
You are my sunshine and you are my pride

Oh, together we can make such sweet music
Together we can make it right
Whoa, whoa, together we can make such sweet music
Together we can make it right, ooh, ooh

Whoa, whoa, I know the love we share is locked in our hearts
And there is nothing that can tear us apart
Wherever you are that's where I'll be
I'll keep this love that you've given to me

Whoa, together we can make such sweet music
Together we can make it right
Whoa, whoa, together we can make such sweet music
Together we can make it right
