music.wikisort.org - Composition"We Can Talk" is a 1968 song by The Band that was the opener for the second side of their debut album Music From Big Pink[1] Written by Richard Manuel, it features The Band's three main vocalists (Manuel, Levon Helm and Rick Danko) in nearly equal turns, often finishing each other's phrases. Initially a staple of their concerts (including Woodstock and the Isle of Wight Festival 1969), it was dropped from the set list in 1971.[2]
