PLEASE do some additional Bread songs! I highly suggest: Baby I’m a Want You, Make it With You, Guitar Man, and Everything I Own. Be sure to hit these ones, they’re really nice sounding songs, and were hits in the 70s. Lead singer is David Gates. But do the studio versions, not live, because studio version is what we all remember from the radio growing up! You can always compare it with a live version after first hearing the original :)

They had so many hits such as "If", "Make It With You", "Baby I'm-a Want You", "Everything I Own", "Diary", "Lost Without Your Love", "It Don't Matter To Me", "The Guitar Man", "Sweet Surrender" & "Aubrey". In 1978, Gates enjoyed success as a solo artist with the hit singles "Goodbye Girl" (from the movie The Goodbye Girl) & "Took The Last Train".

My favorite song by Bread and a song worth checking out is "Everything I Own." For years, I thought it was a song David Gates had written about a breakup with a girlfriend. When I found out it was about the loss of his father, who died young, the lyrics took on a deeper meaning for me. It's really quite a moving song.

[@ChuckHackney]

One of the top 5 most beautiful love songs of the 70's. Or, I might add, any decade.

[@hfortenberry]

Bread was my favorite band as a child. My parents divorced when I was 5 and when I was 6 and 7, I used to listen to Bread, with their beautiful lyrics of love and I knew when I grew up, I'd have true love in my life. I'm so glad you did this. Bread is the name of the band and David Gates is the singer. I agree with the comments that you also need to react to Make it With You, Baby I'm a Want You, It Don't Matter to Me, Sweet Surrender, Everything I Own, Diary and Aubrey. Sidenote, the man who is capable of singing these beautiful songs, David Gates, was atypical of the bands of the time because he lived his life this way, being happily married to his wife for decades, probably over 50 years by now.

[@ShelbyFarrow]

Did you find true love?

Listening to Bread brings me back to my college days. I ended a 3 1/2 year relationship and it was tough. Not so tough on me because I knew he was not the one I wanted to spend my life with. The breakup was so hard on him though. He would call me and sing songs to me over the phone playing his guitar. The very last phone call I took from him he sang the Bread song Diary. It would be a great one to listen to if you haven’t. There’s quite a twist at the end of the song. I have been happily married to another for 47 years but Bread brings me back to that difficult time.

Rhiahl Many of us must watch/subscribe to many of the same 'reactors'. I love Andy & Alex as well as Rob Squad, too!

Bread is a band and pretty much every song they put out is a winner. Having said that, I think both of you would like GUITAR MAN! 🙌

[@christinefougere]

Love this song, used to listen to it over and over again on my walkman, just aged myself. I was a teenager in the 60's, we had the best music ever.

"Diary" makes me cry every time I listen. Beautiful and heartbreaking.

[@elainestephens380]

I love all their songs, though, "If", "Diary" and "Everything I Own" are my favorites. Thanks for sharing your joy and your genuine love of music with us. Love you guys!

Another perfect reaction for Bread! Yes, floating is the perfect description. I’ve even got my husband watching you guys, and that is really saying something! What a beautiful voice! ♥️The old white woman & her husband too!

I Randomly mentioned them during Your John Denver Vids ! THANK YOU ! I am a metal head since 1980, but Bread esp. David Gates song writing gives me goosebumps

It feels like people are discovering this band again. They are so great. I have what I call a ‘heaven vision’ (scenarios where I am blessed with living out a dream but feeling it like it was real and still on earth) where I am just a guy at my job and we’ve all gone to a karaoke club and I take the mic…and make the audience gasp and weep openly by singing songs like this with the power and delicacy of a master. It’s just one of many such dreams. To have a voice like this though…what a gift.

This song still makes me happy cry. Good stuff forever!
