"Sing a Little Song" is a song and single written and performed by Jamaican, Desmond Dekker.
It was first released in 1975. It entered the UK singles chart in August, reaching number 16 and staying for seven weeks on the chart.
Following the death of Dekker's producer, Leslie Kong in 1971 he found his music career foundering. In the mid 1970s, in an attempt at further success he combined with English production duo Tony Cousins and Bruce White who went under the name, Bruce Anthony. After two chart failures, the third single "Sing a Little Song" made the charts in 1975. As with some of Dekker's earlier releases such as "Problems" the b-side of his hit It Miek, it deals with life's hardships in a light-hearted manner.
