Bread is one of the kings of soft rock. Their song "If" is simply gorgeous. "Guitar Man" is also a tremendous song, and who doesn't love the song "Aubrey"? David Gates, the lead singer, is like a male Karen Carpenter, his voice is so good.
BREAD recorded some of the most beautiful love songs ever. "IF" "IT DON'T MATTER TO ME " "EVERYTHING I OWN"- Written about the loss of singer David Gates' Father. "DIARY" "LOST WITHOUT YOUR LOVE" "AUBREY" "GUITAR MAN" "BABY IM-A WANT YOU"
Oooooh David Gates, so gorgeous. And as for his singing, it doesn't get any smoother. i had their Greatest Hits album aged about 12 and was totally in love with David. Your reaction was spot on.
Yes, their song "If" is IMO their masterwork, although "Baby I'm-a-Want You", "Aubrey", "Everything I Own", and "It Don't Matter To Me" are all great too.
Oh wow one of my favorite bands from the 70's. Love all there music. Try listening to The Guitar Man and If. You will not be disappointed. Thanks for the reaction.
I *love* Bread and David Gates (the lead singer - who happens to be from my hometown), and this is one of my favorites. There is so much more from them that you'll love...and something tells me you're going down that rabbit hole. 😁 Ones to check out 'Everything I Own', 'If', 'Diary', 'Aubrey', 'Guitar Man'...and that's just for starters. Great reaction, as always!
"Guitar man", "It don't matter to me", "Been too long on the road", "Baby i'm a want you", "Let your love go", "Everything i own", Breads back catalogue is just easy listening gold.
That’s their quintessential sound right here. They made some of the most beautiful songs. You’ll love every song that gets mentioned here in the comments. Dive in!
Told you about Bread when you listened to America, but no one ever seems to ever listen. Finally someone did so thanks. As good as this song is, it's still not even in my favorite five songs by them. If, Everything I Own, Diary, Baby I'm-A Want You, Guitar Man, etc.
OMG! You’re in for some more “baby making music” with these guys! Some of the most beautiful soft rock you’ll ever listen to. Pick any song and you’ll love it! Can’t wait for your next reaction! Everything I own and Lost without your love are two of my favorites.
So many wonderful Bread songs. These were a collection of top LA studio musicians. Try "If", "Diary", "Lost without your Love", "Everything I Own". All are perfect songs.
Bread was pretty popular back in the day, and they just don’t get enough AirPlay IMO. For beautiful love songs, you can’t get much better than Bread. Everything I Own is where I’d go next, but “If” is also a really good choice.
One of the most under-rated bands of the 70s. David Gates had that voice that hit you right in the heartstrings every time. "Diary" would definitely be my favorite while "If" is a close second.
BEST REACTION I'VE EVER SEEN 💕💕💕 and I'm so glad it's to one of my fave songs. I can't believe I never knew that Bread sang it, now like you I need to hear more of them, mostly to see if I already love any other songs of theirs and don't know it. Through these reactor channels I've discovered several groups like that where I love a good deal of their songs without knowing it, like The Drifters
It’s just so good! I second the “Baby imma want you” . Masterful harmony with Bread! Hey I’ll mention it again..check out lyric video for.“ Lover you should’ve come over” pretty sure you’ll dig it!
What a great reaction! I grew up on this music since my parents are both big Bread fans. I second all the suggestions that have already been mentioned!
No one is doing Bread. Really enjoyed that you enjoyed it. Gates's silky smooth voice that could go really high was good enough that he could've been JUST a singer, but he essentially WAS Bread, writing some of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. You really listen. But it's not just about big families! A lot of Gates's music WAS about big families, but listen to "Everything I Own" for one of the most beautiful tribute songs EVER. I cry my eyes out every time I hear that, and most people (except the smart commenters here!) don't know who Gates is addressing. Same pattern with Gates in that one: Starts simple with guitar, then the strings come in and I lose it. Really enjoy how you enjoy! :)
I love just putting on Bread the full album of their greatest hits.There is no reason to pause or skip.Soft, Gentle ,Soothging.Simply beautiful."Diary","Aubry"",If","Guitar man".Soft rock at it's best.
A couple of late 60s groups for you Young Rascals. How can I be sure . Good loving . Beautiful Morning. And the Classics Four. Traces of love . Stormy. Spooky
One of my favourite bands great songs. So many great tunes....baby I'm a want you, guitar man, if, Aubrey, everything I own......etc so many great tunes.
Bizarre confession this song was playing on the radio as I lost my virginity many years after it was released bread have several great songs my favourite. I would give anything . Bomb warning
Bread are one of my favorite group for as soft ballads....along with the Carpenters.....these groups owned the music charts in the 70's because of their soft smooth music which was soooo romantic back then and very positive. I want you to react to "I Found Your Diary." One of my favorite songs from them.
OMG Chod!! "It Don't Matter to Me", "Look What You've Done", "IF" (classic baby-making song), "Diary"....so freaking many from Bread. Yup. I think you drove that Firebird right into a bakery. Definitely a "Bun in the oven" rabbit hole. Bread is very fattening for women Chod. Don't be letting the wife hear this stuff!!! Especially in the bedroom. you wanted a warning?? They don't call our generation the "Baby-Boomers" for nothing!! Pick one and bring a lot of carrots for this rabbit-hole. Look at the comments lighting up!!!! rofl
Best of Bread - Side one.. is the ultimate "Get heartbroken - Get in your car...Start crying as you drive into the night for 20 minutes" music, I don't think I've ever listened to side two lol
Thank-you! I've loved Bread since I was a teen in the 70's. As someone suggested below, Everything I Own is another great one. David Gates wrote it in memory of his dad and it's guaranteed to touch anyone with a heart.
It wasn't one of their singles, but "Our Lady Of Sorrow" sung by their other singer, James Griffin, is a haunting song about a woman struggling with addiction.
Hi. I love Bread. My big sister used to have a The Sound of Bread compilation album when I was a kid in the mid 70s. The Bread melodies stuck in my head as I got older but I mostly got into my own music. During the grunge period in the early 90s I remember walking into a local second hand record shop and I saw a Best of Bread CD. Bread were so unhip and really uncool, but just looking at the song names brought me back to my childhood and hearing those melodies in my head, but I was actually embarrassed to buy it because Bread were so unfashionable, but I splashed the cash and bought it. When I got home and played it, oh goodness, song after song of songwriting heaven. Instantly taken back to my childhood on such beautiful melodies and songs. I have since grown to love Bread and love their unfashionablity. Bread is a treasure trove of beautiful songwriting and their albums are well worth checking out if you can. Any album from 1969 to 78 is perfect - and I don't say that flippantly. My favourite Bread album is On The Waters (1970), it's just sublime music. Anyway, I'm getting carried away here. Thanks for giving this a listen Chod. Much appreciated.
Song for romancing your soulmate . Bread on the stereo , candle lighting , bottle of wine or herb ...... Bread was the must have album , meaning you had to have at least one of their albums for those quiet nights with your sweetheart . Loved the early 70s .
"Hooked On You", a song that got ignored by radio because they thought it sounded too much like their previous hit, "Lost Without Your Love." It's a great song!
So sublime, as a child I used to get my older sister to play her Bread albums at night because they were so gorgeous and serene they helped me sleep. As I got older I loved them for their lyrics and message as well. His voice is like butter.
The album Best of Bread was in everyone's collection in the early 70's. Side One of that album (yeah, back when albums had sides) was played over and over and over in my household. The smooth grooves of this song is so amazing.
Fun fact: Bread lead singer David Gates and the great Leon Russell were highschool classmates! They were even in a band together in the mid 1950's when they were teens.
Guitar Man is a must...I grew up with this. I was 5 when this song came out and remember vividly when it first played on the radio....Give a Listen to Al Stewart "Year of The Cat" and "Time Passages" cool sax..awesome 70's!
"Make It With You" is a fine song, but Bread has 2 other songs that I think are even better: "If" and "Everything I Own". Then they have other good songs, but I'd check out those 2 songs first.
You can only imagine how lucky we were to be in the 70’s with Bread, the Carpenters, America, then group like Chlcago, EWF and at the same time the Philly Sound,Motown, and that’s the tip of the Iceberg. At the same time tortured because we had to wait for the radio to play it, unless you were lucky enough to have money and buy the 45,s or even more the albums, so you’d hope the Greatest hits would come out soon.
Bread has gone down in most people's minds as being just a soft rock band. While they didn't have much in the way of hard rock, they could rock out pretty good sometimes. If you do want more of their ballads, there are many to choose from, Baby I'm A-Want You, If, Everything I Own, Aubrey and Diary, just off the top of my head. Some of my personal faves of their less ballady songs would be (most of these were not hits, though, but are still great and too-often overlooked and I honestly think you'd love them:) *Take Comfort, Let Your Love Go, Mother Freedom, She Was My Lady, What A Change, *Down On My Knees, *Nobody Like You, *Dream Lady, Daughter, *Just Like Yesterday. Some more of their ballads that weren't hits, but were quite fine in my opinion are He's A Good Lad, *Live In Your Love, Come Again. Guitar Man is a song that is one of their more rock-ish songs that WAS a hit - the only one that I can recall, which is why most people remember only their ballads. Other than Guitar Man(which is a fine tune - check it out), every hit they had were ballads. The songs I've listed with asterisks were not sung by David Gates, who is the silky smooth singer who sang this song, but instead, James Griffin, whose voice isn't as silky smooth, but very likeable pleasant in it's own way. The song Daughter is sorta sung by both Gates and Griffin. Gates does leads and Griffin does backgrounds. I love Bread so much and it breaks my heart that David Gates is the only one still living. Larry Knechtel, their bass player was actually the person who played the lovely piano on Simon and Garfunkel's Bridge Over Troubled Water, an emotionally epic must-hear song if you haven't heard it yet.
I was 13 when this came out. Haven't really heard Bread in decades, and Never listened to them with headphones. It was an unsophisticated record player or AM radio. But your reaction made me really Listen to the music as if for the first time. I have a whole new appreciation now, Thank You!
Bread has about seven songs that are absolutely fantastic and you just heard one of them. "Baby makin' music"?; sounds about right. You MUST hear the following (and I'm sure lots of people will say the same}: Baby I'm A-Want You, If, Everything I Own, Guitar Man, It Don't Matter To Me, Aubrey, Diary, Sweet Surrender, Mother Freedom & Lost Without Your Love.
"Baby, I'm a Want You" "Diary" "If" "Everything I Own" "Aubrey"
This covers Bread right here and these are all fabulous songs.
@@anniegoodrich262 Can't forget The Guitar Man and It Don't Matter To Me.
Lost without your love
The Bread song everyone is REQUIRED to listen to is "If." You're welcome.
Yep. One of the best love songs ever written.
And it’s so beautiful!! 🙂
YES, If is my favorite love song of all time.
An absolute winning peach of a song.
If was and still is one of my favorites!!!
“ I would give everything I own” Bread awesome
Also "If", "Aubrey", "The Guitar Man", Baby I'm-A Want You"
Believe he wrote this after his father passed. Great song.
My fave!!!
YES!
Bread is one of the kings of soft rock. Their song "If" is simply gorgeous. "Guitar Man" is also a tremendous song, and who doesn't love the song "Aubrey"? David Gates, the lead singer, is like a male Karen Carpenter, his voice is so good.
I’m glad you mentioned Aubrey. I’ve always loved that song but it is lost in all their other great melodies
@@beths999 , I totally agree.
another band - should have been inducted in the Rock Hall of Fame
The song If is lovely.
"Everything I Own". A fantastic song about his late father
"If" and "It Don't Matter to Me" are both classics!!!
"Everything I Own","If" and "Guitar Man".
The Best of Bread. Can't go wrong.
I need to dig out my Best of Bread album.
One of my all time favorite albums!!!!!!!!
Especially on a lazy Sunday!
BREAD recorded some of the most beautiful love songs ever.
"IF"
"IT DON'T MATTER TO ME "
"EVERYTHING I OWN"-
Written about the loss of singer David Gates' Father.
"DIARY"
"LOST WITHOUT YOUR LOVE"
"AUBREY"
"GUITAR MAN"
"BABY IM-A WANT YOU"
Yes loved all the above songs, 70’s had the best music of any decade, loved it! It was a fun decade for me, teen years, the best years!!
"Guitar Man" is a must listen to, from this band !! Great reaction.
This style of song was their stock in trade. More baby-making music includes "If", "Everything I Own" and "Baby I'm A Want You"...
Oooooh David Gates, so gorgeous. And as for his singing, it doesn't get any smoother. i had their Greatest Hits album aged about 12 and was totally in love with David. Your reaction was spot on.
David Gates could sing a grocery list and it would sound good.
Yes, their song "If" is IMO their masterwork, although "Baby I'm-a-Want You", "Aubrey", "Everything I Own", and "It Don't Matter To Me" are all great too.
You mentioned two great songs that I forgot to mention to him... thank you!
Oh wow one of my favorite bands from the 70's. Love all there music. Try listening to The Guitar Man and If. You will not be disappointed. Thanks for the reaction.
Their song "Diary" is a stunner. For me it redefines love
I *love* Bread and David Gates (the lead singer - who happens to be from my hometown), and this is one of my favorites. There is so much more from them that you'll love...and something tells me you're going down that rabbit hole. 😁 Ones to check out 'Everything I Own', 'If', 'Diary', 'Aubrey', 'Guitar Man'...and that's just for starters. Great reaction, as always!
Yeah, you got a long road of Bread hits comin'.
After Bread, try The Hollies: The Air That I Breathe, or Gasoline Alley Bred.
"Guitar man", "It don't matter to me", "Been too long on the road", "Baby i'm a want you", "Let your love go", "Everything i own", Breads back catalogue is just easy listening gold.
Big Rabbit hole here my friend. Don't stop! You won't regret it. They didn't make a bad song.
There are so many 70's easy-listening songs that are beautiful.
That’s their quintessential sound right here. They made some of the most beautiful songs. You’ll love every song that gets mentioned here in the comments. Dive in!
Told you about Bread when you listened to America, but no one ever seems to ever listen. Finally someone did so thanks. As good as this song is, it's still not even in my favorite five songs by them. If, Everything I Own, Diary, Baby I'm-A Want You, Guitar Man, etc.
THE TRIFECTA OF AMERICA, BREAD, THE CARPENTERS!!!!!!!!
Almost forgot to add "It Don't Matter To Me". Yet another great song from Bread.
The late 60's/early 70's were an explosion of great music. I remember it all!
Next from Bread:
"Everything I Own", "Sweet Surrender", "Guitar Man", "Diary", "If", "Aubrey"....
Pick whatever you like. Bread always brought it.
OMG! You’re in for some more “baby making music” with these guys! Some of the most beautiful soft rock you’ll ever listen to. Pick any song and you’ll love it! Can’t wait for your next reaction! Everything I own and Lost without your love are two of my favorites.
One of the greatest group of soft rock. They had so many hits in the 70's that are so good and sound well even today. Unforgetable.
So many wonderful Bread songs. These were a collection of top LA studio musicians. Try "If", "Diary", "Lost without your Love", "Everything I Own". All are perfect songs.
'Everything I own', 'If' & 'Diary' Many more after that
Bread was pretty popular back in the day, and they just don’t get enough AirPlay IMO. For beautiful love songs, you can’t get much better than Bread. Everything I Own is where I’d go next, but “If” is also a really good choice.
BREAD ❤️....one of my favorite songs growing up in the 70’s. Thank you for listening to it and giving it a thumbs up because it is SO deserved 🎤🎹🎼❤️.
Awwwww....one of my all time favorite bands/songs. Just smooth and easy. Thank you for choosing this one. :)
Another is..."Baby I'm a Want You" the lyrics with feelings. "Everything I Own" is also one of their best.
One of the most under-rated bands of the 70s. David Gates had that voice that hit you right in the heartstrings every time. "Diary" would definitely be my favorite while "If" is a close second.
BEST REACTION I'VE EVER SEEN 💕💕💕 and I'm so glad it's to one of my fave songs.

Through these reactor channels I've discovered several groups like that where I love a good deal of their songs without knowing it, like The Drifters
if you listen to "IF", then you will hear a DOUBLY romantic song that will make you pop!
Bread/If studio version
Guitar Man has always been one of my favorites.
Tommy James and the Shondells, "Crystal Blue Persuasion" beautiful tune.
It’s just so good! I second the “Baby imma want you” . Masterful harmony with Bread! Hey I’ll mention it again..check out lyric video for.“ Lover you should’ve come over” pretty sure you’ll dig it!
Can you imagine being in high school when this song came out. GUITAR MAN, IF, DIARY, AUBREY, what a dep rabbit hole.
What a great reaction! I grew up on this music since my parents are both big Bread fans. I second all the suggestions that have already been mentioned!
No one is doing Bread. Really enjoyed that you enjoyed it.

Loved your reaction!!! Hahaha 😀 and because of it's effect on you...more bread songs please!!!!!! 😂
If you liked this,you will love almost everything you hear from them.All they do are mellow,smooth,beautiful music.Another rabbit hole!!!
I love just putting on Bread the full album of their greatest hits.There is no reason to pause or skip.Soft, Gentle ,Soothging.Simply beautiful."Diary","Aubry"",If","Guitar man".Soft rock at it's best.
If Bread does not calm and soothe your heart, get to the hospital.
A couple of late 60s groups for you Young Rascals. How can I be sure . Good loving . Beautiful Morning. And the Classics Four. Traces of love . Stormy. Spooky
One of my favourite bands great songs. So many great tunes....baby I'm a want you, guitar man, if, Aubrey, everything I own......etc so many great tunes.
Bread was THE soft rock band for several years. One beautiful song after another
Bizarre confession this song was playing on the radio as I lost my virginity many years after it was released bread have several great songs my favourite. I would give anything . Bomb warning
All of Bread's music is beautiful✨ the song "Baby I'm a want you" Was me and my first loves song. When I hear it I kinda die a little Inside 😞💔
Count me in for another recommendation for "If."
Bread are one of my favorite group for as soft ballads....along with the Carpenters.....these groups owned the music charts in the 70's because of their soft smooth music which was soooo romantic back then and very positive. I want you to react to "I Found Your Diary." One of my favorite songs from them.

Yup. I think you drove that Firebird right into a bakery. Definitely a "Bun in the oven" rabbit hole. Bread is very fattening for women Chod.
Don't be letting the wife hear this stuff!!! Especially in the bedroom. you wanted a warning?? They don't call our generation the "Baby-Boomers" for nothing!!
Pick one and bring a lot of carrots for this rabbit-hole.
Look at the comments lighting up!!!! rofl
My Mother in law and Father in law would put on "If" and dance ...it was their song 💖😊
The years 1964-72 were golden, with '67 perhaps the best year of all time. The quality and depth of it are endless.
Danced a lot of prom dances to “IF”. Guitar Man is also one of my favs. Their songs make you forget about a crappy day. Thank you peace ✌️
Best of Bread - Side one.. is the ultimate "Get heartbroken - Get in your car...Start crying as you drive into the night for 20 minutes" music, I don't think I've ever listened to side two lol
Thank-you! I've loved Bread since I was a teen in the 70's. As someone suggested below, Everything I Own is another great one. David Gates wrote it in memory of his dad and it's guaranteed to touch anyone with a heart.
met my wife in 75 got my caddy in 79 got married 79. we are still cruising with bread and the rest music. love the 70's
Just wonderful isn't it. It will be our 4th in July we played 3 Bread songs at our wedding. Baby I'm a want you was our first dance!!! Cheers
Nice-reaction! Everything I own is my favorite. His voice is one of a kind.
You played Bread when you wanted to "mellow out". In one word, "SMOOTH".
I was at the wedding reception for an extended family member and his new bride chose this song for the Father-Daughter dance. No shit.
I think he misheard the lyrics😉
Now you're ready for "If", "Diary", Sweet Surrender" and "Everything I Own". Pure magic brother. :)
It wasn't one of their singles, but "Our Lady Of Sorrow" sung by their other singer, James Griffin, is a haunting song about a woman struggling with addiction.

Anyway, I'm getting carried away here.
Thanks for giving this a listen Chod. Much appreciated.
David GTes was so smooth that he was slicker than butter!
Song for romancing your soulmate . Bread on the stereo , candle lighting , bottle of wine or herb ...... Bread was the must have album , meaning you had to have at least one of their albums for those quiet nights with your sweetheart . Loved the early 70s .
From the sound of Boom Boom Wilburn's reaction, we may be introduced to Wilburn Jr in about 9 months 😄
🤣♥️😂♥️🤣. Yep 👍
"Hooked On You", a song that got ignored by radio because they thought it sounded too much like their previous hit, "Lost Without Your Love." It's a great song!
So sublime, as a child I used to get my older sister to play her Bread albums at night because they were so gorgeous and serene they helped me sleep. As I got older I loved them for their lyrics and message as well. His voice is like butter.
"Everything I own" and "Baby, I'm a Want You"
If you haven't heard Scott Walker, singing Joanna, or The lights of Cincinnati, you've still got a looking way to go!!
Enjoy! 😁
Great reaction. I suggest Bread "Guitar Man".
Guitar Man is a great one, a must
I was about 13 years old brings back memories .
The album Best of Bread was in everyone's collection in the early 70's. Side One of that album (yeah, back when albums had sides) was played over and over and over in my household. The smooth grooves of this song is so amazing.
Fun fact: Bread lead singer David Gates and the great Leon Russell were highschool classmates! They were even in a band together in the mid 1950's when they were teens.
David Gates on vocals. Bread is as good as any soft rock band and there is plenty to discover, I recommend 'If'
Guitar Man is a must...I grew up with this. I was 5 when this song came out and remember vividly when it first played on the radio....Give a Listen to Al Stewart "Year of The Cat" and "Time Passages" cool sax..awesome 70's!
"Make It With You" is a fine song, but Bread has 2 other songs that I think are even better: "If" and "Everything I Own". Then they have other good songs, but I'd check out those 2 songs first.

oh gosh if he thinks this is baby music-I wonder if he's heard Barry White-LOL!~!
At the bullseye of what's sweet , tender , and precious .
Enables and engenders sensitivity .
You clearly 'get' this vibe .
I was 5 years old when this came out. I grew up listening to this song and to this day it’s still the best!!!!
I was 13 when this came out. Haven't really heard Bread in decades, and Never listened to them with headphones. It was an unsophisticated record player or AM radio. But your reaction made me really Listen to the music as if for the first time. I have a whole new appreciation now, Thank You!
David Gates is an incredible singer/songwriter. Huge hits and many of them.
“Guitar Man”
“Diary”
“Aubrey”
Everything I Own. If. It Don’t Matter To Me. 3 incredibly beautiful songs. Bread was amazing! 😎🎶❤️
Bread has about seven songs that are absolutely fantastic and you just heard one of them. "Baby makin' music"?; sounds about right. You MUST hear the following (and I'm sure lots of people will say the same}: Baby I'm A-Want You, If, Everything I Own, Guitar Man, It Don't Matter To Me, Aubrey, Diary, Sweet Surrender, Mother Freedom & Lost Without Your Love.
Ha, ha. You've only scratched the surface of Bread. Yes, "If" is a required listening to song of theirs. 😉
Keep up the good work.
"Mother Freedom" if you want a more upbeat song from them and somewhat different from their other songs. A real banger, for them at least.
You nailed it!! Bread was one of the best bands in the seventies.
Thank you! I love seeing someone your age actually enjoying and having apprection for the music!
Everything I Own is my favorite of theirs, but no lie, there isn’t a bad Bread song!
Lush and beautiful. David Gates voice is pure magic. If, Aubrey, and The Guitar Man are musts- hauntingly beautiful..
I think the name Bread is wright for this group because it is kind of food for the soul. Great reaction!!!
