[@SaverioP]

As far as mellow music goes, it doesn't get much better than Bread.

[@rodneygriffin7666]

You're right, it doesn't get much butter.😂

[@marksimpson1991]

Just imagine... A battle of the mellowist bands on earth. Bread, Air Supply, Seals & Croft, etc. See which band could get the audience the most extremely relaxed in their seats. LOL

[@chetcarman3530]

Oh, it does, it does...!

[@todvball]

Gotta agree.... Also: I like mellow Lionel Ritchie... Sail On, and Easy

[@rollotomassi6232]

They make make music that's like really good warm soft Bread with the crust cut off.

[@jamesbrown9130]

There was a period of time when Bread, Seals and Crofts and America seemed everywhere on AM radio. I truly miss that period.

[@clare1061]

The Bellamy Brothers " Let your love flow " Sammy Johns "Chevy Van" Music was fantastic back then

[@totalincomesolutions]

OMG! you could have not said it better than that... Those bands are every part of my youth growing up... and they ruled radio in the early to mid 70s for sure.

[@janicekelly6667]

Yes it did🎉

[@samcook1545]

Don't complain about your high ratings...remember, music was a hell of a lot better 40 years ago than it is now!

[@pammie9411]

Amen 😊

[@larrybremer4930]

While I would agree there are many less talented performers since autotune I think there is still some fantastic music always being created. I think the bigger issue for us older folks that remember all the great songs of the 60s, 70s, and 80s simply have a harder time finding something new that stands out in that pack.

[@paulhagger3895]

Nonsense

[@michaelbeasley5783]

"Aubrey". One of the most beautifully melodic songs ever.

[@DropAnchor1978]

Agreed. One of their best and superb in any category.

This was Bread's most successful song on the charts. It went #1 in the summer of 1970. Just a great ballad

"If" is one of the most beautiful love songs ever written.

[@24WESJULY]

The next song from Bread should definitely be " Diary." A song that made many 16 year old guys quietly cry into their pillow in the 1970s.

[@paulvaultguy]

and then 'Aubrey', an amazing piece of music.

A someone who grew up with great songs, I can say that there were so many A songs that we got spoiled. It was just the nature of the time.

[@karenglenn6707]

Well said!

[@redpine8665]

Across all genres too!

[@thegrimreader8526]

I remember lying by the pool listening to this with two friends who are no longer with us. Life is for us to keep. This takes some of us back to a very sweet time indeed.

[@maryannturton9830]

That is a memory caught in time that brings your two friends into focus!

[@derbrewster]

nnturton9830 Yes! At least for today, we were together again, young, and without a worry in the world.

[@richardhooser5096]

So well said. Lives well lived my friend.

Cheers, Richard, cheers !

[@TrustJesus333]

Thank you for taking me back with you. I have the exact same story, lying in the sun with two wonderful friends in the 70s. Sadly, both also gone too.

[@markmurphy558]

As a 16 yr.-old working my first job, I wore Bread out on the jukebox. Spent half my earnings before I got home. Easy to do at $1.85/hour.

[@Chrisrw2023]

Back in the day I thought Bread was wimpy. Over the years they grew on me. The chord changes in this song are so beautiful.

[@dennis2966]

Back in the day my friends thought that I was wimpy for liking Bread so much. Now time has proven me right, and them wrong.

[@markb742]

When Bread was big in the 70s, I just didn't appreciate them, but I was a dumb teenager back then, and really like them now.

[@Nightcrawlerfive]

I think our testosterone levels must have dropped off since those days.😄

[@davidchapman2213]

Such is the nature of toxic masculinity. It is a shame that we, as males, allow a whole genre of music to define who we are as men.

[@Flowerchick1967-tq1vn]

Oh good grief. You two are killin’ me with the songs these days. That said, beautiful song, beautiful memories. ❤️

[@philpartynski3125]

Fantastic song by the fantastic Bread. This is my go-to song when I play solo gigs. Never fails to delight the audience. Keep up the good work, my friends! “It Don’t Matter To Me” needs to be next up for Bread journey. 👊🎶💙

[@Flowerchick1967-tq1vn]

Phenomenal song.

[@belindasolowiej9543]

I just re-listened to “It Don’t Matter to Me” after seeing your comment. What a beautiful, heartfelt song! I hope Andy and Alex give it a listen.

[@debsandz]

💯 percent agree! It's such a great song!

[@jgsrhythm100]

Top 2 Yacht Rock 1) Ozark Mountain Daredevils- Jackie Blue 2) Dobie Gray- Drift Away

[@dgraja22]

Remember you are NOT rating on a curve. These are the best songs - people’s favorites or poll winners. Nearly all of them should be A’s.

[@guichogf5636]

Haven't heard this in years. I was always into more heavy stuff, but hearing these softer songs that were on AM radio back then, I realize how lucky we were. Even the stuff that wasn't our particular cup of tea was superb music. There really was something of quality for all tastes.

[@corbinhbucknerjr558]

You got it right when you said people are recommending the best. Most of the songs you review got a LOT of radio play, so of course they would be highly rated. You don't have to worry about giving out a lot of A's A+'s or even S's. Give the songs what they deserve, and don't be concerned about the ratios.

[@lisalovemc717]

Exactly!

[@susanfontaine5214]

Agree 100 %!!😊

[@emilyflotilla931]

That's exactly why I can't say I have a favorite band....I have the Moody Blues as a consistent, but I loved oh so many in the day, from Dylan to the Dead.

[@kimmoreno4708]

Exactly! I was a teacher for 30 years and all I could think when they said that was how I would never grade a class of students on ratio. :) Each has to be graded on its own merits. (Sorry Johnny, you have to get a C...I have given too many As and Bs this month. Can you imagine? Haha )

[@stephenvolt1730]

Just like all these David Gates Bread songs, the vocal melody and delivery is as beautiful as it gets.

[@surlechapeau]

A&A, you'll love their "It Don’t Matter To Me" !!

[@Flowerchick1967-tq1vn]

Beautiful.

[@marthalowe1556]

YES!!

[@lisadowney6777]

“I feel like we’re giving out a lot of A’s and A+’s lately.” Maybe you’re just listening to the best songs that each band from the 70’s has to offer? Just because there are a lot of them doesn’t negate their quality. Thanks for all your reviews. Love hearing my high school and college classics through your well informed reactions.

[@ArtofFreeSpeech]

For a very VERY long time, this was the #1 most requested wedding song.

[@scottstewart5784]

For what it is, it's an A or better. You said it yourself, they made it stand out from the crowd with musicianship. And David Gates' voice? S tier.

[@andyman58]

Memories of simple times and lazy Summers as a 12 year old come to mind every time I hear this now that I'm older. One of Bread's best.

[@lantose]

Yes, I was 14 in 9th grade when it came out and went to #1. Pretty soft for me but everyone liked the band Bread back in the day!

[@itchyandred4131]

Pure 70's soft rock gold✌️

[@scottboswell6406]

This Bread is soft crust, haha!! My favorite Bread song, A+ for me. Sopping up the sweetness, rocking the romance!

[@aBeatleFan4ever]

It's an easy A+ love song. Hard to beat David Gates' voice for this type of song.

[@brxee]

Even rock lovers want to lay back and chill sometimes, and there's not many better to do it to!

[@kevinferrin5695]

The orchestration and arrangement and sweetening in this song are phenomenal.

[@randyteta9170]

You can give it an A it’s one of the best songs of the early 70’s

[@geffryg]

1971 my girlfriends and my special song, still have the 45 record. Then her Mom heard the song and tore into her for listening to a "getting it on song" based on the title !

[@robinstarkey6071]

As a 15 year old girl in 1970, the sun rose and set on Bread for me. They were phenomenal

[@billwilson7948]

I love the pristine sound, the production value. Bread is up there w/ Steely Dan & ELO for tone, depth & space in the sound.

[@davidschecter5247]

So true. They were as much perfectionists as Steely Dan.

Having grown up hearing Bread on the radio, every time I hear one of their songs now, it's very nostalgic and a little bit sad.

[@dabearcub]

You guys have credibility, no worries about the r abundance of A ratings. You’re hearing the best of the best.

[@tjtampa214]

That's 53 years ago! 💜 C'mon how much competition did this song really have back then for this style? Haha. 💜 One of my favorites all this time and I was very little when this came out, maybe in first or second grade. Lol. This was barely into the seventies, this was right out of the 60s. Bread was phenomenal.

[@andythrush3341]

Smooth as silk! Beautiful voice! Bread was chill music and always good for date nights.

[@flubblert]

Beautiful song. Hard to believe you never heard it, even as background music . "Aubrey" next

[@UFOS4]

Bread was a guilty pleasure back then because soft rock just wasn't something I would follow. This song is so sweet. Try "If" for a more intense tug at heart strings. You guys picked a good one and treated it kindly.

[@doobiedave9686]

The Bread song If was our first dance song at our wedding and Bread has to be the most mellow band ever. Even their upbeat songs like Mother Freedom and Been Too Long On The Road are mellow. 🙌✌️

[@StarGirl-oz5gh]

All Bread songs are classics.

[@jessicalee7119]

This has always sounded like someone Truly speaking from their Heart! I Love that!

[@pamcruz9134]

Bread is such a awesome vibe ....💛

[@kentandrade]

Hitting some great circa 1970 soft rock lately. Nice. Really appreciate the reaction, guys.

[@michaellazzeri2069]

From the summer of 1970, and as always, written, arranged & sung by David Gates, the vocal leader of the group. This song was on AM Top 40 radio in Denver, 950 KIMN, right around the time Richard & Karen Carpenter were taking the music world by storm, with " Close To You ". Also, James Taylor, with " Fire & Rain" , earlier that year. --------MJL, 76 y/o

[@TheGreatGig73]

It's just not fair that this much amazing music came out of one decade

[@johndixon4115]

You guys have not done "If". That is one of my favorites from them . The song "Aubrey" also

[@user-ts6xn5mq8q]

For Easy Listening / Soft Rock, it's hard to beat these guys. Highly recommend their tune "If."

[@andrewroberts4736]

This band were my dad's favourite so I was brought up on this. Love this song and I miss my Dad every single day. So glad you reviewed this. Makes me happy and sad.

[@SPohl-zy4rz]

This is "s" tier for me. Easy, sweet, mellow, soothing.. Could listen to it over and over.

[@gmanvidz]

If you ever hung out with girls in the early '70's you know you love this!

[@brendanfromireland]

Guys don't down-rate just cause the songs are all A, A+ or S tier... Classic music is chock full of those tiers.

[@bradjbourgeois73]

The production is immaculate in this song!

[@marinebean420]

What a beautiful vocal progression.

[@randybaker6042]

S. The number of songs that are at the pinnacle of cheesiness that accomplish what this recording accomplishes is very, very small. Almost impossible to be this sweet and be taken seriously at all. It mainly stands on the vocal. The vocal approach takes it to S tier.

[@terri2494]

Well said! 👏🏻

[@jamuirhead]

Best of Bread, best high school slow dance/make-out album ever.

[@cynthiawhite9830]

Yes, it's because we suggest the best! There's a lot of crap that's never suggested.

Their first big hit and it was huge back then. I was a kid, but I remember it playing all the time. I really enjoy Bread. They were pretty mellow, but still well crafted songs with great production and lyrics.

[@MOS650]

I was a small kid when the song was released but it was my lay back and chill song.but way too short .

[@iraidaacevedo3723]

Such a beautiful song 🎼🌷Love Bread, they have lovely music and lyrics🎼♥️👏🏻 Thanks guys for your great reactions ♥️

[@harpergras]

Bread was one of the smoothest sounding groups back in the day.

[@genevievecooperman4213]

It's an "A" for sure!

[@PaintingandExercise]

I listened to Bread so much back in their heyday. One of my most favorite songs of theirs is actually sung by their other "high voice" singer, Jimmy Griffin, which is "Look What You've Done". Jimmy got shoved to the side when the music label chose David Gates to be the face and voice of Bread.

[@amitychief3061]

As talked about in “70’s Weekly Countdown with Mark and Pete”, David Gates’ Mom was interviewed and was quoted as saying she was really proud of her son’s success, but disappointed that he did a song called “Naked With You”.

[@georgeorwell4534]

This was THE slow dance song of its era. Wonderful and forever memorable.

[@charlier711]

A Voice contestant did this song recently and Gwen Stefani raved. You need to do "If'". I think it's their best.

[@lilamuzik3385]

You have to give songs what they earn. The reason the scores are so high is because "oldies" rock. No use worrying about your ratings...low rating just because you worry about too many "A"s is just counterproductive. And pisses many of your fans off.

[@WoefulMinion]

Agreed. We've sorted through all the music and recommended the best. That's why, as much as I love music from the 70's and 80's, I don't discount modern music. If I find some I don't care for, I remind myself that it hasn't been curated yet.

[@greggmccabe7833]

If you want to hear a real “stretch” for Bread, try “Mother Freedom” by them. Even if you don’t do a reaction, listen to the song, seriously. You will be amazed.

[@davidschecter5247]

Some other great rockers, too. But people just want to see Bread as David Gates' ballads, as marvelous as they are. But they were so much more than that.

[@steveandme63]

As much as I love this song, I'd rather have you hear Aubrey or Diary. Besides being absolutely beautiful, they both have unexpected twists in the lyrics I think you'd appreciate.

[@cherylwoodward]

Songs were just that good-from late 60s to late 70s. It was a great time to come into your musical identity as a young person. I still go back to this era more than my college years in the 80s.

[@kev7161]

There's a reason that most of the songs you listen to have made it into the top 10 up to and including #1 on the charts in the past. It's because they have a catchy hook or really great instrumentation or smooth, flawless vocals, etc. These songs have become beloved over the decades and have lasted for decades because they are so good. And that's why you give so many A and A+ scores (kind of what you said). I'm sure Bread has put out songs during their time that didn't quite make it up there to the top and that's okay. Most artists and bands have experienced this (just listen to classic American Top 40 shows and you'll see what I mean).

[@steveturner3999]

I wore out my 8-track copy of "The Best of Bread". I used to get a lot of flak from my friends when they went through my album collection and found Bread. I’m a rock & roll guy through and through but I always had a soft spot for Bread and the Carpenters.

[@clementsfamily7002]

Perfect name for a Band. Bread. No meat on the bones. It isn't what they wanted to do. (Meaty Rock) They were who they were, and they were cool with it.

[@lynne5322]

Yep! And even tho they might not have intended it, bread also implies communion & companionship. ( Fun etymology: com + pan = with + bread / break bread)

[@daleclark7127]

Beautiful song that is reminiscent of that early 70’s mellow rock. Bread is the template of this genre.

[@writerjohnmcnally]

Check out Billy Stewart’s “Summertime,” the 5 minute version. Elton John (and others) credit this soul singer as a major influence.

[@tashakomaroff2982]

Omg, I’m so happy you recommended this song. I feel like it’s been forgotten but it is stunning.

[@bilabrin]

Speaking of mellow dances try Morning Dance by Spyro Gyra. It has a Sax solo, and I believe Xylophone solo and a Marinba solo. It's very reminiscent of Chuck Mangione's Feel So Good and one of my all-time favorites!

[@maryk446]

I bought this song in the summer of 1970. Check out it's B-side "Why do you keep me waiting" - more of a rocker, - snappy, poppy, somewhat like John Lennon and Elton John's "Whatever gets you through the night." But the most underrated Bread song is "Been too long on the road." This is a song you could make a TV movie of the week out of. Back in the day this is the kind of song you'd hear on Friday night at 7 p.m. on the radio and then call the record shop to see how late it's open because you just HAD to buy it. It's also not a gentle ballad in the style of most of their songs, so the style will surprise you.

Just because you've given out a bunch of A and A+ ratings is no reason to give a song a lower rating. We can't help it if all our favorite songs are so awesome!

[@StatisticsJason]

These were all seasoned session musicians coming together. So they were able to add a lot of subtle magic to songs you wouldn't normally hear in the soft rock/love songs genre.

[@bishdizzle67]

You can't give out a lower rating on this one just because you have given out a bunch of high ratings lately.

Oh, you know if we suggested songs that we consider to be rated F, they would probably love it for being unique or quirky or surprising. Maybe they should do a poll for F-rated songs.

In the genre of "Easy Listening", Bread and this song are the poster child. Comparing it to other songs in other genres is foolish. For what they were trying to accomplish, this should be A+ to S. If this is not to your taste, it doesn't matter how well they did.

David's vocals on this on make this recording transcendant.

[@paulhansberry8168]

Remember, late 60's early 70's, my generation had an excess of good, often different and experimental music to chose from, WE WERE SPOILED with the excess. It was actually difficult to keep up, both time wise and monetarily with what was available, most of it was so good, so don't be too hard on yourselves, so much goodness. Hell, Wings Of Pegasus just did a vid on the Andrews Sisters 1941 hit Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy. Lots of good stuff back there. And that's the stuff that sticks around.
