The song failed to appear in the charts ; however, when he re-recorded it as `` Let 's Work Together '' in 1969 for Sue Records, the song reached number 32 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, the following year. This was Harrison 's first chart appearance since his number one 1959 hit `` Kansas City ''. Instrumentally, `` Let 's Stick Together '' is an ensemble piece, while `` Let 's Work Together '' is a solo performance, with Harrison ( credited as the `` Wilbert Harrison One Man Band '' ) providing the vocal, harmonica, guitar, and percussion. The two songs use same melody line and structure, but the lyrics differ, as illustrated by the opening lines : `` Let 's Stick Together '' Well now the marriage vow is very sacred The man put us together now you want to make it Stick together, come on, come on let 's stick together You know we made a vow not to leave one another never `` Let 's Work Together '' Together we will stand divided we 'll fall Come on now people let 's get on the ball And work together, come on, come on let 's work together, now, now people Say now together we will stand, every boy, girl, woman, and man Canned Heat version `` Let 's Work Together '' Single by Canned Heat B - side `` I 'm Her Man '' Released January 1970 ( 1970 - 01 ) ( UK ) August 1970 ( US ) Format 7 - inch 45 rpm record Recorded December 3, 1969 Studio International Sound, Los Angeles Genre Blues rock Length 2 : 48 Label Liberty Songwriter ( s ) Wilbert Harrison Producer ( s ) Skip Taylor, Canned Heat Shortly after the release of Wilbert Harrison 's `` Let 's Work Together '', Los Angeles blues - rock band Canned Heat recorded their version of the song. Unlike their previous singles ( `` On the Road Again '', `` Going Up the Country '', and `` Time Was '' ) which featured vocals and harmonica by Alan Wilson, for `` Let 's Work Together '' Bob Hite provided the vocals, with Wilson adding the slide - guitar parts. The song was prepared for release as a single in December 1969, but after learning that Harrison 's song was becoming popular, the band delayed their release until Harrison 's song had run its course. In the UK, where Harrison 's single failed to generate interest, Canned Heat 's version was released in January 1970. It became their biggest UK hit, reaching number two on the UK Singles chart during a stay of fifteen weeks. In the US, Canned Heat 's `` Let 's Work Together '' was first released on August 3, 1970, on their album, Future Blues. An American single followed on August 25, 1970, and reached number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Bryan Ferry versions In 1976 Bryan Ferry released his version of `` Let 's Stick Together '' as a single, on Island Records. It became his highest charting solo single, reaching number four in the UK chart on June 12. The song is included on his album of the same name. Ferry plays harmonica and keyboards, Chris Spedding guitar, Eddie Jobson violin, and John Wetton bass ; the tenor saxophone solo is by Chris Mercer. In the official video, model Jerry Hall mimes the `` mid-riff yelping of an unnamed female backing vocalist ( that ) only adds to the frenetic edge of lustful excitement '', according to AllMusic reviewer Dave Thompson. In 1988, Ferry released a remix of the song as `` Let 's Stick Together ' 88 '', on E.G. Records in UK and on Virgin Records in Germany. The single reached number 12 in the UK chart on October 29.
