BREAD (1972) - The Bobby Darin Show ("Baby I'm-A Want You")

Bread perform their Top 10 hit "Baby I'm-A Want You" on The Bobby Darin Show back in 1972. The second song performed that evening, "Fancy Dancer", has yet to be officially released on DVD... but is available to view elsewhere on this channel !

[@luisdiaz3887]

That second voice sung by James is poetry in itself RIP The three deceased members of this great band. Mike Botts Larry knechtel and James griffin Mr gates still among us I believe he’s 83 by now salute and respect to you Sir.

[@rolandoaponte214]

Certainly a good band in his own MOR niche, but to say the "greatest band ever" is unheard of....I'll assure you they won't ever be inducted into the RRHF...not that I don't think they deserve it.

This songs brings back memories of my childhood from the day I was adopted by my late parents. Both my father and mother shower me with lots of love. Eventhough both had passed away peacefully many years ago till today I still remember missed them in my heart and I know one day I'll see them again and this time I'll tell them again I Love Them Both So Much ❤

[@TinekeWilliams]

How sweet of you to write this. I adore my children and hope they always feel much wanted

[@Myronkline]

God bless you Ricky. What a wonderful thing to write about your parents. I have a wonderful son whom I love dearly. He's about 42 years old now and hasn't seen me for years. Doesn't want anything to do with me. So hard to understand, and such a terrible pain to live with.

[@petrslivinski7481]

David Gates writes the most beautiful soft music of the 70s: he dominated the industry. And yet some critics scoff at his lyrics. Shame on them!

[@fifthof1795]

When did critics do anything of worth ?

[@Jimbo.05]

Well said Petr, agree totally!

[@johannej3241]

Sour grapes. Those people don’t know how to write music let alone beautiful melodies.

Sounds great at night songs of old school not listening to kind for a long time. But goodnight.

[@claudiamorgana7836]

The 70´s was the best!

[@cinematic35]

The 70's was it as far as world class song writers, musicians, and performers go. We have often discussed this among friends and fellow musicians in light of the mundane racket on the airwaves today. It was a MINDSET that produced this kind of legendary artistic compositions. There was a standard of musical excellence, beauty, technique etc. which is been abandoned by the talent mocking buffoons of today. And some of the stuff I've heard on the radio lately is insulting that it reminds me of some kind of initiation into a mental health clinic. I'm convinced that no one will be able to rival this kind of phenomenal music the next 1000 years!

[@rosarkp]

70's and also 80's!♥️🌹

[@stonyxpress7079]

Totally agree Kim, u kno we wuld never see Olivia Newton John or Nicolette Larson sitting on a wrecking ball naked to score a hit!! The stuff u hear today is shiittt

[@camlendrim7609]

Bread songs are very sentimental to me. Melancholy in brief doses can be cathartic. Memories are the sweetest pain. ❤

[@barroncrist5779]

Saw David Gates perform live back in 2000 he still sounded excellent. Bread were one of the early 70's best soft rock bands.

[@lauramorris2641]

This song brought me back to those innocent days.

[@andrewfyakim525]

In 1972 I was flying from Norfolk Va. to Pittsburgh sitting next to a guy carrying a briefcase. We talked a bit, and I noticed a small brass plaque on the briefcase "Bread". I asked him what that meant. He said it was his band, who all were also on the flight. He shook my hand and told me he was David Gates. I was a music major in college at the time, and of course recognized 'the name' although I didn't recognize him. He was very nice and we talked 'music' for much of the flight. I doubt he would remember this meeting, but I will never forget it as he was the only 'famous' person I have ever met in my 70+ years.

[@ts.elliot5870]

[@ricklamonte5485]

+ronangelox David Gates is Bread without him there is no hits greatest singer song writer ever .he is a legend

[@euanelliott3613]

I remember hearing this song on the radio at the age of 6. My parents marriage still had two more unhappy years to run, and school entailed simple lessons and occasionally going AWOL to hide in the coat trolley. I had sandwiches for lunch with Penguin biscuits, and I remember the smell of Tarmac as the workmen fixed the potholes in the playground. We painted a lot, and used marker pens which reeked and didn't come off. One of the teachers had the soundtrack of The Good The Bad And The Ugly and played it after assembly. Good times.

[@Pulsonar]

Incredible track, David Gates had a genius in crafting a spellbinding tune, and had a phenomenal voice, like an angel. I remember seeing a few women customers transfixed and humming along when this song came on the supermarket radio where I worked, some forgetting where they were and even wiping away tears back in the early 80s! It was so unusual to see such reaction to a golden oldie in a superstore for heaven’s sake! Everyone whistles or hums along to favourite songs, but not like that, I’ve never seen random public reaction to songs from any group like that since.

[@567wolfen]
