"Join Together" is a 1972 song by British rock band The Who. Released as a non-album single, the song has since been performed live multiple times and has appeared on numerous compilation albums. "Join Together" is also notable for its roots in The Who's abandoned ''Lifehouse'' album, a quality shared by The Who's other 1972 single "Relay". ==Background== "Join Together", under the working title of "Join Together With the Band", was originally intended to be released as part of the ''Lifehouse'' album, but upon its shelving, the song was temporarily abandoned. Following the abandoning of ''Lifehouse'', "Join Together", as well as other songs initially intended to appear on the album, was used in the working track list of another canceled Who album, ''Rock Is Dead—Long Live Rock!''. The song was recorded on the same day as "Relay" (its follow-up single) and a demo of "Long Live Rock" in May 1972. The band's lead singer, Roger Daltrey, remembers the song positively, but claims that he was initially skeptical about using synthesizer. With the definitive title of "Join Together", the song was released as a non-album single in 1972, backed with a live and unedited version of Marvin Gaye's "Baby Don't You Do It", recorded at San Francisco's Civic Auditorium on December 13th 1971. 〔 The single was successful, reaching number 9 on the British singles chart and number 17 on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100.〔 The single was the second of three non-album singles relating to the aborted ''Lifehouse'' project, the others being "Let's See Action" and "Relay". It was included on several compilations, including ''The Singles'', ''The Who: The Ultimate Collection'', ''20th Century Masters: The Millennium Collection: The Best of The Who'' and ''The Who Hits 50!''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Join Together (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
