"Little Bird" is a song written by Dennis Wilson and Steve Kalinich for the American pop band The Beach Boys. It was released on their 1968 album "Friends" as well as being released as the B-side of the "Friends" single. The single peaked at #47 in the U.S. and #25 in the U.K.
Brian once quoted "Dennis gave us 'Little Bird' which blew my mind because it was so full of spiritualness. He was a late bloomer as a music maker. He lived hard and rough but his music was as sensitive as anyone's."
The backing track for the chorus of 'Little Bird' was originally recorded in October of 1966 as 'Child Is Father To The Man', composed by Brian Wilson for the aborted "Smile" album. Early mixes of 'Little Bird' included the muted trumpet featured in the Brian Wilson composition. 'Child Is Father To The Man' was eventually rerecorded for the 2004 solo release Brian Wilson Presents "Smile".
