When Allen first showed the song to Ronnie Van Zant, he scoffed at it, saying it had too many words.. Later Van Zant had an idea for a melody, asked Allen to play him the song again, and Free Bird was born.
Free Bird. Free Bird, or Freebird, is a power ballad performed by American rock band Lynyrd Skynyrd. The song was first featured on the band's 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 Skynyrd's Innyrds).
