1987 single by Supertramp
"Free as a Bird" is the title track from Supertramp`s 1987 album of the same name. Released as a single at the end of that year,[1] the song achieved only marginal commercial success.
Overview
The music video for "Free as a Bird" was produced by Sue Pemberton and directed by Michael Patterson and Candace Reckenger.[5]
Cash Box said that "Rick Davies sets an easy groove with his patented, bluesy keyboard style, and takes you to a gospel out-chorus."[6]
In 1988 "Free as a Bird" was performed on the Dutch pop music television series, TopPop.[7]
It is the only song from the album of the same name that survived the accompanying tour. Live recordings were released on Live `88 and It Was the Best of Times.
"Free as a Bird" also appears on Supertramp`s 1992 best-of album The Very Best of Supertramp 2 and the later compilation Retrospectacle – The Supertramp Anthology.
