Its A Beautiful Day Album 1969
It's a Beautiful Day is the self-titled debut album by San Francisco
psychedelic band It's a Beautiful Day. This album's song "White Bird"
was the band's biggest
hit. The album rose to #47 on Billboard's Top LPs American albums chart
The group's signature song "White Bird" was inspired by the experiences
David and Linda LaFlamme had while living in Seattle, Washington. For a
few weeks in
December 1967 the group members lived in the attic of an old house while
playing and rehearsing at a Seattle venue originally known as The
Encore Ballroom. The
band's manager Matthew Katz had recently assumed control over the club
and renamed it "San Francisco Sound". In an ironic twist on the band's
name, the song was
partly inspired by Seattle's rainy winter weather. In a later interview David LaFlamme said:
1. "White Bird" David LaFlamme, Linda LaFlamme 6:06
