Freebirdis a power ballad by the American rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd. The song was first featured on the bands debut album in 1973 and has been included on subsequent albums released by the band, including the previously unreleased, unfaded-ending version of the original recording (featured on Skynyrds Innyrds). Amazon music reviewer Lorry Fleming calls it the most-requested song in the history of rock music. Released as a single in November 1974, Free Bird bowed at #87 on the Hot 100 on the 23rd and became the bands second Top 40 hit in early 1975, where it peaked at No. 19. A live version of the song also reached the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1977, peaking at No. 38. Free Bird also achieved the No. 3 spot on Guitar Worlds 100 Greatest Guitar Solos. It is used as a finale by Lynyrd Skynyrd during their live performances and is their longest song, often going well over 14 minutes when played live. It is considered to be Lynyrd Skynyrds signature song https://youtube/watch?v=D0W1v0kOELA
