HER FAVORITE!| FIRST TIME HEARING Bread - It Don't Matter To Me REACTION

[@georgewallerlll496]

I requested a one-hit wonder a few days ago by an actor who recently passed away, David Soul, and the song is "Don't give up on us, Baby" ! The song is from the late 70's, and I think Amber will love it since she loves soft rock from the 70's. Just thought I'd request it again. The actor was part of a crime fighting duo named Starsky and Hutch, it was very popular during the 2nd half of the 70's! Just some fun facts about the show. Great action scenes, and great car!

[@quincee3376]

Omg. Funny you mention David Soul. When i was a kid i thought he was the singer of Bread. I got David Gates and him mixed up. Btw great song!

[@teresajock9466]

Don't give up on us , baby....you are so right, another great song! I still play this weekly on my Alexa lol

[@ybursch]

Had David Soul’s album 💜 Starsky & Hutch 1975-79 … similar times with Charlie’s Angels 1976-81

[@terri2494]

Before Starsky and Hutch he played Joshua Bolt, the middle brother on Here Come The Brides. Bobby Sherman , who played the youngest brother, Jeremy, was also a heartthrob in the late sixties and early seventies. My sister had at least one of his albums. I was three years younger and David Cassidy was my first big crush.

[@suzettebavier4412]

Yes Yes Yes

[@RicoCosta317]

One thing that people often overlook about Gates is that in addition to his immaculate voice from God he was also a brilliant songwriter whose lyrics are sheer poetry, and their sad, sweet beauty blends perfectly with that sad, sweet, beautiful voice. Love me some bread and I love that you love appreciate them. It's mutual love society, y'all! 😃

[@jerryrichmond4707]

Gates was a damn good bass player too.

[@magneto7930]

Well said! I love to see these two appreciate the music that I loved before they were even born.

[@surlechapeau]

Jay & Amber, you'll love their "Diary" !!! (for your 8th Bread song)

[@happymethehappyone8300]

I have suggested the very same many times,, Great song with a surprise story twist at the end.

[@RicoCosta317]

Good one! Was just thinking the same thing.

[@pamb3936]

I agree that Diary should be the next one to listen to by Bread

[@JustTanya.]

Yes! It'll actually be their 9th, with this song they've already done 8. But I agree with "Diary". That song actually tears me up though. Heartbreakingly beautiful song.

[@soulgalorememories9921]

As others have said - “Diary” is such a beautiful song, old style lyrics for sure, but that is the beauty about David Gates songs. I can’t imagine anyone not liking Bread or Gates - similar to The Carpenters in that you just have to admit that the songs and the voice are from heaven…yes, “Diary” next.

[@Floppyearsmomma]

Never My Love by the Association. Perfect soft rock band beyond gorgeous song, harmonies and arrangement. Heard it on the radio and thought I needed to recommend it to you. Don’t forget David Gates is Tulsa’s own! ❤

[@billyf2833]

YES!

[@proudmoon3]

Yes! Or another beautiful song by The Association, "CHERISH"! ❤

[@RabbiSteve]

They definitely will love getting deeper into The Association. In fact, in quick search, doesn’t look like they have yet reacted to any by The Association. Overdue. They are going to likely love some of those 60’s Golden Oldies.

[@bonitaweis3231]

I second this!

[@waynemcdonald9600]

I love the simple percussion work they do.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

Firefall "Just Remember I Love You"..A MUST HEAR Classic. 🔥❤️

[@WeirdAlpha]

agree!!

[@proudmoon3]

Yes, please! Beautiful soft rock song!

[@patriciamonz4225]

Love their song Cinderella.

[@VicEclectica]

Have to add the vote for Diary and Aubrey. Bread makes even heartbreak beautiful.

[@anexceleratedlife]

They did Aubrey.

[@johnsalguero4742]

Everything I Own by Bread and Last Train by Gates solo

[@proudmoon3]

They already did Aubrey, but DIARY would be great!

[@anexceleratedlife]

@@johnsalguero4742 They also did Everything I Own.

[@lesleymitcheson8439]

I love diary

[@lisalovemc717]

Amber you make my 85 year old dad so proud loving Bread. It's one of his favorite bands and he brought me up in the 70s listening to them as a kid. I know you've done a lot of them, but if you havent heard Goodbye Girl, it is a must! Also from the movie which is good as well.

[@wiltchamberlainisthegoat13]

Your dad has great taste! I’m 59 years old, and I’ve loved Bread since I was a young kid. 80s music is my favorite overall, but I listened to lots of Bread growing up.

[@4508bluesky]

They have reacted to Goodbye Girl 😊

[@Guitaropenmind]

The voice of David Gates is a gift from heaven. What a songwriter as well......... Many thanks for sharing.

[@FlyingGemSparkly]

Surprisingly Bread has a rockin tune called Mother Freedom that used to be in rotation on rock stations back in the mid 70’s! It’s a banger that you’s might enjoy!

[@davereynolds4992]

GREAT suggestion Barak...one of my favorites and you are right - they WILL be surprised by how it ROCKS. Another song that is similar in that way is "Let your Love go". If you aren't familiar with it, give it a listen.

[@terri2494]

@@davereynolds4992 Yes! I love both of those. I had to look up the lyrics for “Let Your Love Go” to remember it but you’re right. That and “Mother Freedom” definitely have a different sound than most of the songs by Bread. “Down on My Knees” is another rocker. In my mind they sound like they had the same lead singer but it wasn’t David Gates. I looked online but didn’t find who sang them.

[@donnacorey5682]

Bread's slow songs are heavenly but they had a couple of bangers that were awesome too. Check out "Mother Freedom" and " Let Your Love Go"

[@0Yemiserly1]

Both of those are great and I'd also add "Truckin'" to their bangers list.

[@chab1rd155]

You CANT go wrong with Bread!❤

[@Cooljack906]

Bread can make me cry 😢. Everytime I hear them they are just so beautiful. But more importantly, they take me back to my childhood and memories of everyone in my family being alive. Grandparents , Mom, Dad, my baby brother, childhood friends and others we lost 😢 School days that were magical. Days gone by that were so much better than where this world is now. I love reminiscing! I truly have had a wonderful life and Bread is One of my favorite groups ❤

[@jesselobo3213]

David Gates was simply amazing during this era. What a voice!

[@hayleynadel6808]

YES, YES! Don't give up on us baby by David Seol! One of my all time favs, and Amber, you won't be disappointed 😃

[@raquelgear-dp2qf]

Diary -by Bread is killer! I think Amber will dig the lyrics. Kills me every time!

[@proudmoon3]

Another fabulous Bread song I don't believe you've done is "Diary." ❤ Everything you'd expect from Bread, plus some great storytelling!

[@PaintingandExercise]

Another great song of theirs is sung by their other "high voice" singer, James Griffin, called "Look What You've Done". It's a beauty.

[@donnakubiski5572]

I agree. I have suggested "Down on My Knees" which is also sung by him every time one of the reaction channels I watch listen to a Bread song. Either reaction would be great.

[@4tuneagent]

"Dream Lady" is an excellent song, sung by Jimmy, also..

[@0Yemiserly1]

Absolutely! I suggested that one myself a while back.

[@padfolio]

IMO, Griffin/Royer's "Our Lady Of Sorrow", about a woman fighting addiction, is the best thing Bread ever did. Ironically, it is the last song on their last album, Lost Without Your Love.

[@markzimmerman2057]

Sadly no one covers his songs with Bread. "Just Like Yesterday", "Games of Magic", and the others mentioned here already.

[@wiltchamberlainisthegoat13]

This is such a BEAUTIFUL song. I could listen to Bread on repeat for hours, and love every minute of it.

[@debbiewright3035]

One of the soundtracks of my teenage years! Love Bread! ❤️

[@weberauth]

Love you guys. Bread is beautiful . "Cool Change" by Little River Band is another soft rock classic. Another genre "I'll take you there" by the Staple Singers is amazing. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

[@petercourtien4581]

My older brother had their album. Freaking love it still!❤

[@FloridaHiker619]

"DIARY" is one of my favorite Bread songs. I love your channel.

[@brentosuna2088]

Another great soft rock artist I would love for you to hear is Dan Fogelberg. Many soft rock hits... Longer, Leader of the Band, Part of the Plan, Run for the Roses. All Great!

[@davereynolds4992]

His best, IMO, was "Why must I be lonely in love". "The last nail" is also great.

[@ANNEAVES]

Oh yes. Do Fogel erg. Hard to Say. Run for the Roses, Another Auld Lang Syne, The Leader of the Band.

[@jameskennedy721]

outstanding song .

[@kathymolloy5411]

Love this song, brings back so many memories ❤. But I'll bet you'll love "Smooth " by Santana featuring Rob Thomas 😉

Thinking they have already, excellent tune and I love Carlos Santana and Rob from matchbox twenty. Did you know that was his girlfriend in the video.

[@MikeOstrowski-iq8wf]

Great Reaction…… ❤️ Little River Band……❤️ 1) Happy Anniversary 2) The Night Owls 3) Man On Your Mind 4) Help Is On It’s Way 5) Reminiscing 6) Lady 7) It’s A Long Way There 8) Lonesome Loser 9) Cool Change ……. All were big radio hits ❤️🔥🫶🏻

[@miamivicefanatic9736]

The Association was a soft rock band from the 60's, very comparable to Bread. You need to react to "Cherish" and "Never My Love".

[@user-lm9mb5th7l]

My very favorite Bread song. Thanks for covering this. Just beautiful.

[@christianmarler2253]

This is so cleverly written, because while usually in a "break-up" song the singer is either begging the other person to stay, or is telling the other person they will regret leaving and that the singer will be fine so it doesn't matter to them. In this case, he is saying it doesn't matter to him if the other person leaves because he wants her to be happy. He also says it doesn't matter to him if she comes back, because he'll be there waiting for her. It's obvious to me that it DOES matter to him and the title lyric is a kind of defense mechanism to play it cool. He intends to wait forever for her, though he thinks (hopes) he won't need to. It actually matters A LOT to him.

[@christianmarler2253]

Some other songs that use this same trope are 10cc's "I'm Not In Love" and to a certain extent, Eric Clapton's "Promises."

[@michaelpope2886]

@@christianmarler2253 Also, "I'll Be Around" by the Spinners has this same trope.

[@taramahoney2412]

I grew up listening to Bread. Great sounding vocals and music.

[@brentcox7772]

So talented! Saw them in ‘78 in OKC! Awesome!🤘🔥

[@j.w.matney8390]

Bread was a staple with the high school girls when I was in school in 73-74. The boys had to listen to them because we wanted to be with the girls. ha ha It was a rare boy that would admit to liking them in those days and I would bet many like them now.

[@happymethehappyone8300]

A MUST HEAR Classic,, Bread "Been Too Long On The Road" ❤

[@gwilli9511]

I think my fav Bread song is Sweet Surrender. With the violin in the background, this is one of my definite road trip songs to play. Another soft rock group is England Dan and John Ford Coley.

[@stellarpod]

Another wonderful David Gates tune. How could you go wrong? Weather's turning really cold here in Oklahoma in the coming days. Stay warm you guys, and as always, thanks much for sharing. Steve

[@stannous]

David Gates was from Tulsa and was a contemporary of Russell Bridges (Leon Russell) where they attended Will Rogers High School and were both in a band called The Accents. When I lived in Tulsa, David’s brother was my eye doctor. This is how my mom got educated on who David Gates was in the 1970s.

[@willblood7082]

Bread was the ultimate make out music back in the 70’s. Any guy worth his weight in salt had “The Best of Bread” 8-Track tape in his car. Amazing how great it sounded from the backseat, softly playing over and over, parked at the beach on a warm summer night, with the windows rolled down 😉

[@mikemiller3069]

Little River Band has a song with great harmonies and a really funky bass part. It's called, "Happy Anniversary" and it is sung to an ex-wife.

[@lt6134]

Brings back great memories from grade school! Thanks!

David Gates has the magical touch. Years later his performance of The Goodbye Girl was epic and so appropriate for the movie.

[@ashley192277]

Songs to check out from the Little River Band, "Lady", "Happy Anniversary", "It's A Long Way There" , "Lonesome Loser", "Reminiscing" & "Help Is On Its Way"

[@ryanfeit1420]

For The Little River Band I would highly recommend reacting to "Take It Easy On Me" released in late 1981. Dan Fogelberg is another soft rock artist from the 70s/80s I hope you return to. "Longer" by him is one of the most beautiful songs ever.

[@JustTanya.]

I got a loaf (👈🏻see what I did there?😂) of Bread songs to request. "Diary", "Look What You've Done", "Anyway You Want Me", "London Bridge", "Sweet Surrender". For some Bread songs that have a little more Rock than Soft: "Dismal Day", "Truckin'", "Down On My Knees" and "Let Your Love Go". And Jay, I think you will really like "Fancy Dancer". The bass line is very prevalent in that song and it slaps. 😎👍

[@alwaysengines]

I was 7 or 8 when I first heard Bread. My sister had the Greatest Hits and I used to play it constantly. As I got older I got into punk, hard rock, and alternative so I buried my love for Bread because it wasn’t cool. But I eventually came back to them and they still gave me those awesome feelings when I first heard them

[@cherylb2727]

I absolutely love Bread! Thank you two for sharing your thoughts about this group. It is so refreshing to see both of you on your KZbin channel showcasing the music of my era! I look forward every day to see what group or person you are listening to. 😊

[@marc_from_seasideca2378]

Not gonna lie. This song reminds me of when my parents split up in the mid 70s. I was around 6 years old at the time. My Dad listened to a lot of Bread.

[@davidreyna7712]

My favorite Bread song. So many decades ago when I was just a kid and listening to all the Bread hits. Fantastic.

[@danalbertproduction7220]

Night are forever without you by England Dan and John Ford Coley is a classic soft rock song.

[@lizzie6638]

For LRB I would suggest "Help is on it's way" and " It's a long way there". Also, you've only done my favorite artist Dan Fogelburg twice, so songs I'd really love you to react to are "Netherlands", "Scarecrows Dream", and "Same Old Lang Sine".

[@waynemcdonald9600]

I love Bread. They are on the playlist I listen to daily. But please give the Association a reaction....Never My Love

Bread reminds me of road trips to the South New Jersey shore with my family back in the 70’s when I was a kid. Same with the band “America”.

For a Little River Band song, I suggest you go back to their very first hit, called “It’s A Long Way There”. It got a lot of radio airplay back in the early’70’s. It has a great electric guitar solo in the middle. Check it out!

[@shyman99]

Early 70s? 1976 is not too early! lol

[@davereynolds4992]

I just posted a suggestion for this...but it HAS to be the LONG version (about 8:40)...Otherwise you miss all of that fantastic guitar work.

[@paulwalker9421]

"Diary" by Bread is still one to hear!!!

[@itsahellofaname]

Just when you thought you knew what to expect from Bread, along comes a song like "Mother Freedom"...you have to give that one a go!

[@bobreaves6804]

Bread was one of my favorites back in my youth. Their songs always sounded so crisp and clean in those pre-digital days.Some of their classics you have yet to hear such as "Diary", "Down On My Knees", and "Let Your Love Go". Their songs always sounded so crisp and clean in those pre-digital days.

[@RobChilds-gl2wp]

❤ love Bread. You need to hear MOTHER FREEDOM! Also, if you really want to hear more Little River Band, then MAN ON YOUR MIND and THE OTHER GUY should absolutely be on your list!

[@davereynolds4992]

****THIS IS THE ONE**** I've mentioned this before, but since you asked for LITTLE RIVER BAND songs, this is absolutely the one you need to listen to. The LONG version of "It's a long way there". About 8 minutes and 40 seconds long. There is a shorter "radio" version, but you'll be cheating yourself if you don't do the longer one (you'll miss some fantastic mellow guitar work). I promise that when it's over, you will think it's only been 4 or 5 minutes. FANTASTIC!!!! As for Bread songs, there are many. I was a senior in HS when this son (It don't matter to me) was released - I remember it well. Another song with the same vibe and sweetness that folks never seem to mention (or react to) is "Sweet Surrender a short song, but beautiful and with the same sort of fantastic guitar solo (short) as Amber liked in this song. Hope to hear reactions to one or both soon!

[@richarddaugherty8583]

Love this song! I remember when this was all over the radio in my teens. It's also a prime example of what my guitar teacher was trying to make me understand; that often, less is more. This arrangement is a thing of beauty! The guitar fills are perfectly placed, and as Amber noted, the drummer wasn't trying to be the fasted drummer on the planet. He was holding the tempo for the rest of the band to float on. You really need to react to Mother Freedom and Truckin' Down the Highway. And for The Hollies, Long Cool Woman. That one is a rocker! I always turn up the volume for those three!

[@lynnlafever1810]

This is my favorite Bread song! I realize you do not know most of the group's first hits, what songs were their "breakout" song, but this was their FIRST hit! And this was their introduction to me.

[@rickmeister]

Thank you so very much for reacting to this song! Way, way, WAYYY back in 1969...my then-girlfriend and I thought we were in love. My parents and her parents knew each other and they all thought that we were simply too young to handle what might happen (I was 17, she was 16). So, they all sat down with us and pretty much required us to "cool our jets" for 3 months. Then this song came out as we had our last date night for the 3 months. Sadly, she eloped with some other guy shortly thereafter....then I realized how smart my parents were!! So, for me, it's sort of a sad memory that turned out just fine in the end. Isn't it amazing what memories a simple music reaction brings up?
