Three Little Birds by Bob Marley & The Wailers.

Today’s entry is by request! This is one of Marley’s most popular songs and I couldn’t figure out why it wasn’t on Wikipedia! I then realized it’s not called, “Everything’s Gonna Be Alright” but instead, “Three Little Birds.” I was gonna say…this was a hit but not a single? Not possible!

Three Little Birds was released in September of 1980 from the album, Exodus. It went to #17 on the UK’s Top 20 and has been covered by various artists over the years. In 2008, an 8-year-old British singer, Connie Talbot, covered the song and it reached #1 on Billboard’s Hot Single Sales Chart. Listen to her version HERE.

The song is self-explanatory, it says you shouldn’t let worry get the best of you because everything will work out in the end. It is believed that the “three little birds” represent the trinity.
