"Give a Little Love" is a song by the Scottish boy band Bay City Rollers. It was written by Johnny Goodison and Phil Wainman, and produced by Wainman. "Give a Little Love" was released in July 1975[2] as the only single from the Bay City Rollers third studio album, Wouldn't You Like It? It spent three weeks at number one on the UK singles chart,[3] becoming the group's second and final UK number-one single, and was the sixth-biggest selling single of 1975 in the UK.[4]
Unlike the single version, the original UK album version was augmented with a string section, while the US-only Bay City Rollers album had only the basic rhythm track and no strings. However, the song was not released as a single in the United States.
