Documented collaborators

Butterflies Are Free is a performer page dedicated to celebrating the enduring legacy of The Free Design, the Greenwich Village-based group whose breezy, harmony-rich sound helped define late-1960s and early-1970s sunshine pop. While Butterflies Are Free is best known as a track from their 1970 album Stars/Time/Bubbles/Love, this page also situates the material within the broader arc of the band’s history—rooted in the vibrant New York folk-pop scene, later re-emerging with new material in 2001, and preserved for new generations in recent reissues and box sets.
