Tonight’s mystery artist wrote a song about love that would be one of their biggest hits. However, when he first wrote the song it seemed to nicey nice and so he didn’t present it to the band until six years later. Can you guess the band or the song??

This bit of musical uncertainty was found on Songfacts as they interviews Roger Hodgson of Supertramp. The song Roger felt was a little to goodie goodie was ‘Give A Little Bit’.  When they asked him about writing the song this was Roger’s story.

“It actually took me six years before I even brought it to the band. But I wrote it I think around 1970. That time, the late '60s, early '70s, was a very idealistic time, one of hope, a lot of peace and love and the dream of the '60s was still very alive and maturing, if you like. The Beatles had put out "All You Need is Love" a year prior to that. I believed in love - it was always for love - and just felt that was the most important thing in life. In concert it's the perfect show closer, because what I try to do in my show over two hours is unify the audience and unify all of us. So that at the end, when everyone stands up for "Give A Little Bit," they're open and ready to open their hearts and sing at the top of their lungs and go away with a smile on their face. “

Here is tonight's featured song.
