  • This one had me smiling the whole time. Today was my first time hearing David Gates and the band Bread. Not only are his vocals silky smooth, but the song "Make It with You" is such an endearing piece.

    I grew up listening to the soft rock music of Bread in the 70's & had their albums. Love David Gates voice. He has one of the most soothing & mellow voices. They had so many hits such as "If", "Everything I Own", "Baby I'm-a Want You", "Diary", "Lost Without Your Love", "It Don't Matter To Me", "The Guitar Man", "Sweet Surrender" & "Aubrey". In 1978, Gates enjoyed success as a solo artist with the hit singles "Goodbye Girl" (from the movie The Goodbye Girl) & "Took The Last Train".

    David Gates mom is from Lyman, Wyoming. After his mom and dad married, Clarence Gates, moved his family back east so David's dad could teach music at the college level. They eventually settled in Oklahoma. David's maternal Rollins family come from Western cattle ranching and farming scratching out a living in the Bridger range of Wyoming... David's uncles and aunts were wonderful singers many moved into the professional college and sciences. I recall attending Rollins family reunions where they would gather around the piano and was so impressed and can still hear the rich tenors, baritones and sopranos and full voices of my great aunts and uncles singing together. It was a blast to attend Bread concerts in the 1970's. David's generation is fast slipping to the other side of life. David is the youngest of that generation. David and Jo Rita's children are very well grounded despite their Dad's hard fought eventual success in music. His children reside in the greater California area working in law, medicine and business. David and Jo Rita, now retired reside in the Pacific North West. I'm blessed to be an extended cousin and family member..

Larry Knechtel was an amazing multi instrumentalist who arranged and played the piano on Bridge Over Trouble Waters. Bread also had James Griffin as the other guitarist/vocalist/songwriter. Have a listen to one pf his contributions Look What You Done. BTW he co wrote the Academy winning song For All We Know in 1971.

    For most of my life, I've been attracted to music just off the beaten path...I prefer Waits to Dylan, The Misfits to The Clash, Bauhaus to The Smiths, and Tool to just about everything else. But Bread is an exception. The songwriting is so spot-on, the message so clear in a genre like easy listening, where so much is lost in the muck. Imagine in your mind an eighteen year old kid sharing a trailer off campus his freshman year of college (1989), and imagine music blaring out of that trailer, songs by Danzig, Slayer, The Cure, Depeche Mode, The Violent Femmes,...and Bread. Love these songs...

    I learn a lot here. Not only is Beth is a pro she's also very genuine and likeable. Her personality and enthusiasm help me learn more than some other "reactionists". In my pre-pubescent life (and even later) hearing David Gates always soothed me. He was at the forefront of "soft rock." Somewhat like Glen Campbell but with less recognition, and sadly so. A great musician. And he's still with us!

    Lovely. Definitely do more Bread if you can. Not even the extent of his range on display here, and a truly incredible songwriter too

    I used to play "Make It With You" when I was a street musician back in Dallas years ago. I've had 2 married couples come up to me, request this song, then tell me that I had played it for them way back on thier very first date.

    BREAD has been a part of my wife and I's life. Played their 'IF' at our wedding 49 years ago. Saw the Bread tribute band last nite called 'Toast'... yes really. Thanx for reviewing... wonderful... nice to hear / see someone knowledgeable react with goosebumps like we do.

    This is such a wonderful tune, and David's voice is always so smooth. I remember hearing songs from Bread all throughout the 1970s on the radio. Thanks for bringing back some great memories!

    David Gates has a very beautiful voice and the song they did that really encapsulates not only that sweet voice but his haunting voice is
    the song Aubrey. One of the most beautiful and heart breaking songs ever.

    I Love This...! I remember the day it aired. In my late 20's, friends and I would frequent The Golden Bear in Huntington Beach, California. For a few dollars we saw The Who, Janis Joplin, Buffalo Springfield, Neil Young and many others. We could run up to Hollywood to The Whisky A Go Go, and see The Doors, Chicago, and others just getting their start. In Anaheim, California, we saw The Mamas and The Papas, with Simon and Garfunkel as their opening act. It was a crazy, wonderful, fun time. However, I truly think it was the calming music of Bread that led me to "Drop-Back-In" and settle down. I truly enjoy watching and listening to your reactions. Your comments are always right on point. Best wishes from an American living in Japan,

    Thank you so much for listening to Bread--in particular, to David Gates. He had a number of hits, and deservedly so. From what I've read about him, it seems that he was as sweet as his voice was. I think he's in his early 80s now and still married.❤❤❤🎉

    I remember being at the dentist in 1977 and listening to this song while I was getting a root canal. It was soothing and calming. I’ve always remembered that moment. Such a great song!!

    Thanks for the video. I also like Gates’ GOODBYE GIRL. Bread’s songs AUBREY, IF, DIARY & LOST WITHOUT YOUR LOVE are also beautiful.

    David Gates is a superb songwriter with a distinctive voice. Together with his band Bread, he put out a bunch of hits in the 70s. Yes, he hails from Tulsa, Oklahoma and is an incredibly likable and humble guy. This is a live version (no lip synch) that's very faithful to the album version. That's legendary session guitarist Dean Parks on the solo, too. If you want his most beautiful song, try "If", a song he dedicated to his father, if I recall correctly. Thanks, Bethany!

  • @rosannw9357
    @rosannw9357 Před 9 měsíci

    This was one of my very favorite songs in the early 70's. You had a cute look on your face when you saw him in the video. I had the same look "way back when." 🥰🤤

  • @laurelinlorefield318
    @laurelinlorefield318 Před 8 měsíci +2

    Notice that the oscillation in his voice is repeated regularly (even in the guitar solo) ... rhyming poetry in the music itself. Yes, he does have a large range. Songs like "If" will demonstrate the higher end. This is a fantastic and remarkably clear-eyed proposal song. Other favorites of mine are "Everything I Own", "Baby I'm-a Want You", and "The Guitar Man". Glen Campbell especially appreciated David Gates. Check out the duet they sang (in London, I think, but I'm not sure).

    Beloved of the eternal, I don't understand your language, but nothing is needed to understand you, except through your eyes...that enjoy the blessed song that reaches our heart and conscience...we feel it through the song and its gestures and feelings that together we touch the supreme divinity... the eternal absolute that dwells in us...

    It was so lovely to see your expressions as you listened to this song that I grew up with!
    I’m so glad that you enjoyed it!!
    The Best of Bread was the first album that me and my sisters owned.
    You might want to listen to the David Gates solo album.
