White Bird is a song by San Francisco rock group Its A Beautiful Day, written by David LaFlamme and then wife Linda LaFlamme (née Neska). It was arranged and produced by David and sung as a duet between him and group member Patti Santos. A prominent stylistic feature of the songs original arrangement are multiple violin parts overdubbed by David. It was first released on the 1969 eponymous debut album Its a Beautiful Day by Columbia Records. Its a Beautiful Day is an American band formed in San Francisco, California, in 1967, featuring vocalist Pattie Santos along with violinist David LaFlamme and his wife, Linda LaFlamme, on keyboards. David LaFlamme, a former soloist with the Utah Symphony Orchestra, had previously been in the band Orkustra, and unusually, played a five-string violin. The other members of Its a Beautiful Day in its early years were Hal Wagenet (guitar), Mitchell Holman (bass) and Val Fuentes (drums). Although they were one of the earliest and most important San Francisco bands to emerge from 1967s social phenomenon Summer of Love, the band never quite achieved the success of contemporaries such as Grateful Dead, Jefferson Airplane and Santana, with whom they had connections. The band created a unique blend of rock, jazz, folk, classical and world beat styles during the initial seven years it was officially together.
