David Gates - Hits Medley, TOTP2

[@lastdaysguitar]

Mr. Gates is a very blessed man: He had a GREAT career, changed the world with his music but he never let it go to his head, he handled his personal life and his money with wisdom, and retired prosperously & happily with the wife of his youth and their (now long adult) children.

[@enoslayuk7580]

rare type of person nowadays. he is a good role model for his neighborhood and also for the world

[@bebopjazz1972]

OMG. How does he still have the same voice after all those years?! It's golden...

[@capecod7545]

And how about the wrinkle free skin - David dont stop now your on a roll

[@chikoyla]

No drugs,good ole healthy living

[@onesixfive]

Unbelievable! I’d swear it’s faked, so perfect! One of all all time greats!

[@hawktchr8]

Married to the same woman 62 years. No smoking and no drinking - Four kids - 3 lawyers and a surgeon - cowboying and ranching...*sigh* By the way “Bread” is a Biblical reference and their first albums were called On the Waters and Manna...So clearly God is in their lives too.

[@kevindoyle3614]

My guess is clean living

[@mclenonade3267]

David Gates has 4 children. three of them are now lawyers and one is a cardiothoracic surgeon. He lives happily in Mount Vernon, Washington enjoying his retirement with his high school sweetheart and wife - Jo Rita

[@shannonpincombe8485]

One of the best voices, songwriters of all time. This crowd didn't know what a LEGEND they were watching.

[@anthonydibello5854]

Way back in Summer 1998... David Gates appeared solo at the Cove Haven Resort [Lakeville,PA] accompanied w/ a small string orchestra for one evening. My late wife & I happily sat 2 rows away from the small 300 seat theater's stage. David if you someday read this comment. I just wish to say thanks for making the long trip East for your legion of Bread fans. Best Regards, Tony DiBello

It’s rare to be able to keep that higher range as we get older. David Gates is the rare exception.

He is singing falsetto

[@gabrielat1]

David Gates's voice quality hasn't changed at all. He's truly a rare gem. Love listening to Bread. Magnificent classic band! God Bless him even more ❤ 🇧🇷

[@rickrodrigues2219]

Wow...that very distinctive 'falsetto' voice of David Gates & he hasn't lost it with the passing years!

[@edge7375]

This man made unforgettable music with the most appropriate lyrics. It's so easy to connect to his songs because they speak our thoughts and reflect our emotions.

[@bobolulu7615]

I don't think any of those people in the audience realize the impact that this mans songs, singing and playing has had on peoples lives. Millions upon millions of people have had their lives played out on the soundtrack of this mans words, as has just as many had hearts broken and lives enriched.

[@estudio12carlosg.16]

I was going to write the same thing!, that young generations sitting there, can not get to imagine who is this legendary man.

Yeah, but he might have gained some fans.

Darkest night of my life I just listened to bread and cried.

Happy to be alive to hear his music.

His voice is still as strong and amazing as it was in 1970.. That is saying a lot since this is 2019..This man has more talent in his little finger than todays performers have in their entire bodies..

[@ninod1502]

I believe this was 2002 recording

He sounds as good on this as he did in 1970-73 when these songs came out.

😳😥❤️❤️ AMAZING ! He takes back to that beautiful time in our lives. I am sorry but PEOPLE THIS IS MUSIC ! That’s it, that’s all !

[@sparkette49]

What an incredible man. His voice had not changed since the 70’s. His songs bring back soo many memories from the 70’s.

[@rickydizon2176]

Wow, his voice hasn't changed a bit after all these years. Love all Bread songs to this day.

[@Music4allofU]

He said in an interview, now at 76, a Bread reunion would be unlikely. Sometimes it's better to be grateful and stay the heck out of the limelight when your best work is behind you." Well, he is a national treasure I think.

[@OrthopedicFantasies]

Well, no kidding. The other members are dead.

[@santiagoramirez7162]

Music4allofU Video Productions , Siguiendo mi ruptura , tampoco me gusta que tengas lindas amiguitas y te saluden vía internet , y te quieran tanto, aunque Sean amigas y para ti también , elllas saben más que yo. Ellas te buscan como si fueran todo en tu vida. Lo que me lleva la tristeza es que apenas te estoy contestando un recado y tú ya me estás terminando. Me causa mucho coraje y creo que esto ya debe de tener un p7nto y final. Basta yo hay paz mental desde que empezamos este tórrido romance. Que Dios te siga bendiciendo amor, y sigamos adelante sin disgustos . Te admiro y mereces alguien que en realidad te quiera. Hasta que llegemos a encontramos si se presta la,oración.

[@justpassingthrough4802]

I saw your post and when I read it I started crying too. I listened to the AM radio when I was a kid in North Carolina and Bread was one of my favorite groups. I think I bought Guitar Man on a 45 rpm record at Grant's for .69 cents.

Incredible. His voice is STILL flawless. You can hear the sincerity in his voice. David Gates is one of the few musicians I would love to meet.

[@nealwright5630]

I was a pre-teen in mid 70s. My brother had a Bread Greatest Hits 8-track. I wore that thing out. I could sing and play the guitar but I never gave a thought of what I could have done at the time. 20/20 hingsight.

Just saw your video and wanted to thank you . Thank You. I wish I could shake the hand of David Gates and i would tell him what it meant to me growing up with his songs. Between The Beatles and Bread i followed along with their music and learned how to use my voice as an instrument.Now at the age of 66 i still have my singing voice, and its all because of the way he could hit the highs without straining the vocal chords.the results is longevity.

Increíble canta igual que los años 70 !! Genio .

Plus he LOVES what he does by making people happy and bringing out his talents and enjoying life day after day. Kudos goes out to DAVID GATES for doing an AWESOME job on this performance!!

[@lindahandley5267]

Gosh, he's gotten better looking over time and he sounds the same. Before I watched this video, I had a feeling that he would still sound great, because his music was so soft and gentle, not like the screamers of hard rock, who's vocal chords can't hold up. What a guy! I never get tired of his music!
