Try a Little Kindness, 1970
Written by Curt Sapaugh and Bobby Austin
Just what the title indicates, this song is a straightforward, positive song about paying kindness forward. "And if you try a little kindness / Then you'll overlook the blindness / Of narrow-minded people on the narrow-minded streets." I particularly like how the song notes that you should help people even if they are the architects of their own position ("With a heavy load from the seeds he sowed"). Although Campbell is thought of as a country artists, this song is easy-listening rock, and he delivers the vocal with the enthusiasm of a soul singer. This song is popular today with Christian ministers and advice-givers, despite true Christian feeling being looked upon as "woke" nonsense by theocrats and their sheep these days.
