David Gates, the author of most of the Bread songs, was a genius at lyrics and arrangements. He's currently 83, and living in his native Tulsa, OK. There are so many good songs! If, Diary, Everything I Own, Baby I'm a-Want You, etc. The band broke up because they wanted to do more rock. The ladies loved this music back in the day. They did have some rock songs like Mother Freedom, Truckin', and Too Much Love but they weren't "hard" rock. This song was on the radio when I was 14 and I loved it! I still do. I've been married to my lady for almost 42 years now.
