Give a Little Bit

At the Concert for Diana on 1 July 2007, Roger Hodgson closed his short set at Wembley Stadium with "Give a Little Bit", and the audience, along with Princes William and Harry, stood to sing it with him. Hodgson later called it a magical moment, noting that Princess Diana had loved the song. He had left Supertramp in 1983, and from then on the song appeared in almost all of his live performances.

Hodgson wrote "Give a Little Bit" when he was 19 or 20, keeping it on a small tape for five or six years before introducing it to Supertramp for recording. Drummer Bob Siebenberg, who joined the band while Hodgson was still carrying the tune around, said he had heard it in hotel rooms long before they cut it. In the studio the pair worked out a drum part built entirely on snare and bass drum, with no tom-tom fills, producing what Siebenberg described as something like a train beat. Hodgson credited the Beatles' "All You Need Is Love" as his inspiration, written as it was during the love and peace movement of the 1960s.

Released as a single in 1977 from the album Even in the Quietest Moments..., the song reached number 15 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart and number 29 in the UK. Although credited to the Rick Davies and Roger Hodgson partnership, as all their songs were from 1974 to 1983, it was a Hodgson composition, and he has ranked it among the top 10 songs he ever wrote.
