Put a Little Love in Your Heart
Words and Music by J. Holiday, R. Myers, J. De Shannon.
Arranged by E. Fairlie.
This song was originally performed in 1969 by Jackie DeShannon, who composed it with her brother Randy Myers and friend, Jimmy Holiday.
It reminds us to share our love around to improve the world we live in – the world will become a better place. Jackie’s mum used to say to her ‘put a little love in your heart’…
Do you think the world would change if we all woke up thinking this?
In 1988, Annie Lennox and Al Green released a cover version of Put a Little Love in Your Heart which reached number 9 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
Jackie, who turns 82 this year, also sang the song What the World Needs Now is Love.
Let’s spread the message of love and kindness as we sing this song.
