The source of Marley's inspiration for the lyrics of "Three Little Birds" remains disputed.

Some believe the lyrics are partly inspired by birds that Marley was fond of that used to fly and sit next to his home.

Monty Alexander recorded a cover of "Three Little Birds" in January 1992 and, in 1999, he released it as a hit single.

"Three Little Birds" was released as the first single by British child singer Connie Talbot on 10 June 2008.

Talbot released a music video to publicise the single, which was filmed in Jamaica.

[20] Rashvin Bedi, writing for Malaysian newspaper The Star, said that "Three Little Birds" was her favourite song on Over the Rainbow.

She then joins a child whose parents had been arguing and plays with them and others in a field, then dances with them on the beach.

The children are then led to a stage, where Talbot performs as the others sing and play musical instruments.
