Everything about this guy and Bread was something very special. Their music is so sophisticated that very few bands could compare to them. Their music is so intricate, yet they make it sound so simple. They were the best.
Could NOT agree more whole-heartedly! I was watching a couple vids of "greatest male vocalists", and NONE of them had David Gates OR Brad Delp from Boston.
David Gates is an amazing singer and writer!!! Never really got the recognition he deserved.Just to let you know david i really thought all you songs were great and you are so talented !!! Thank you for your beautiful music!!!! \
Agreed if they haven't already. The man is in his 80s and we hope he and his group Bread get inducted while most of them are still with us and wish them all well!
My late husband was in the Navy in the 70s when we met,this was our song everything he had to leave,brings back memories of then. Great singer and song writer.
Thanks for sharing, I was only 4 when this song came out but I love hearing folks share their experiences and stories about how these certain songs affected them and their experiences
The movie was the story of my life with my mom at the time. I watch it every time it's on and it brings back such bittersweet memories. This song always brings me to tears.
One of the greatest singer songwriters from the seventies you will never hear music this good again. All the great songs have already been written sorry for all the new performers
At the beginning of this song I always feeling like taking a deep breath, relaxing, closing my eyes and going back to the 70's at the rollerskating at the rink.
David Gates solo is a pleasure. Gates and James Griffin together equals magic. Especially when you bring in drummer extraordinaire Mike Botts and the musical excellence of Larry Knechtel! Bread remain the finest Soft Rock band ever yet their rocking more uptempo material is criminally underrated.
@@jlockwood65 Like EVERY single Uptempo,"raunchy" Bread song, because they're unfamiliar to the public. Unless you bought the albums and actually listened to to them, youd think Bread was only this bland ballad type band when in fact they had just as many rockers as ballads! LOVE Three Dog Night, by the way!
David's voice,you can feel his soul in all his songs. Loved the movie, saw it multiple times.I loved The group. growing up I would listen to the greatest hits on my portable player.Still have the album.God🙏Bless you and your wife/family.My husband & I are highschool sweet hearts. We were 16 Now 61 , 45 years together ,grew up listening to the songs ,all have special meaning for us They don't make music like they used too. Sooo glad we grew up in the 70's
Grew up listening to Bread, the Carpenters and other great 70's bands, and had the pleasure of meeting David Gates [he lived next door to some friends of ours in Hidden Hills, CA]. Tremendous singer, will never be anyone like him....
Greatest songs i was 17 yearls old when this great golden singer came around. He belonged to a great group, bread. A gift from God. Thank you David Gate.
For those who want to sing along All your life you've waited for love to Come and stay And now that I have found you, you must Not slip away I know it's hard believin' the words you've Heard before But darlin' you must trust them just once More, 'cause baby Goodbye doesn't mean forever Let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean We'll never be together again If you wake up and I'm not there, I won't Be long away 'Cause the things you do my Goodbye Girl Will bring me back to you. I know you've been taken, afraid to hurt Again You fight the love you feel for me instead Of givin' in But I can wait forever, a-helpin' you to see That I was meant for you and you for me so remember Goodbye doesn't mean forever Let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean We'll never be together again Though we may be so far apart you still Will have my heart So forget your past my Goodbye Girl 'Cause now you're home at last
Great song. Ol the memories of the 70s. Transport me back to 1978. I had been out of the Marine Corps 5 months, when this aired. I let my hair grow, and a different date every weekend.
Are you still alive today sir 😊 well, just wanted to say hello to you after reading your comments here. Actually, this is my first time knowing this song, one friend sends to me this few days ago, am still can't believe there's this such incredible very warmth so much dedicated song, it's like am living in another world, world of fantacy where everything are so much loved 💞💞💞💝💜💙💚💛⚘🌸🌷🌻🌺🌹🌿
@@WhenImBackInChicago you're welcome. I always tell people the same thing. It was an honor to serve our great Nation and the United States Marine Corps. Semper Fi
The 20 track The Sound Of Bread compilation may be the finest collection ever released. All the David Gates written hits are to be found, some superb Griffin/Royer songs and a few selected album tracks.
True. Every sound, instrument & Nuance exactly as the Studio Recording. At first I wondered if he was singing LIVE to a Studio backing track, but everything was exactly like it. Not even the finest performers are THAT exact in every detail?
Most all the greats all started in Philadelphia and all have to travel west but one of the best stayed in Philly and that was Ed Hurst who used to do the Steel Peir show on Saturdays what great talent we had in the 70's music movies writers TV and yes those were the days!!!!
A greater golden singer with bread, classic music that will never come back to our generations. I was 14 years old a gift that God gave it to me, this great singer and bread musical band.
Also listen to David Gates great song "Took the Last Train" off the same album and all his tons of great Bread Tunes! The 70's and 80's music was so much better than most the garbage they put out today! My condolences to those of you that weren't alive in the 70's and 80's!
I was just thinking of my favourite band "Bread" yesterday. Somehow this song came to my mind and then I started to tear up. Brings back such wonderful memories of the 80s.
It makes my heart hurt that this music will never be performed by David Gates again. I really wish i had been into bread when they toured Australia in 1997. Im 51 and I was born 20 years too late.
Still. Listening in 2023. The voice.. So special.. No. One can sing like him.. ❤
Everything about this guy and Bread was something very special. Their music is so sophisticated that very few bands could compare to them. Their music is so intricate, yet they make it sound so simple. They were the best.
One of the most underrated vocalists of the 20th Century.
Could NOT agree more whole-heartedly! I was watching a couple vids of "greatest male vocalists", and NONE of them had David Gates OR Brad Delp from Boston.
Got that right
Top composer too 🎼🙏
yeah just like glenn campbell a vocal and guitarist
Nonsense. He was rated correctly. He was never underrated.
I'd give anything to go back to 1977 including the rest of my life.
David Gates is one of my all time favorites. Great voice and great songwriter
David Gates is an amazing singer and writer!!! Never really got the recognition he deserved.Just to let you know david i really thought all you songs were great and you are so talented !!! Thank you for your beautiful music!!!!

We need more Bread & David Gates now more than ever in 2024 👏🙏
No one who sings love Ballads comes close to this man. He gets me crying every time
Exactly and I'm a 50 year old woman. Have loved this song since I was very young. Mom and Dad played it constantly....
His band should be in the r&r hall of fame
Agreed if they haven't already. The man is in his 80s and we hope he and his group Bread get inducted while most of them are still with us and wish them all well!
Hall of shame they rather have rappers or madonna the likes
I love David Gates and Bread. My husband would heartily disagree. LOL 😆 🤣. I force him to listen to Bread.
HERE HERE
Still an awesome hit single after so many years!
Verdade, até hj faz sucesso!
No one sings like this man. Such a gift🌹 TIME ⏳
Beautiful comment, hi Tammy how are you doing?
Yeahhh one n only
Alright
The male Karen Carpenter
AMEN
DAVID GATES IS GENIUS
GOD BLESS HIM AND HIS FAMILY
My late husband was in the Navy in the 70s when we met,this was our song everything he had to leave,brings back memories of then. Great singer and song writer.

Most beautiful song ever. Have loved it for years....❤
Bread should be in the rock and roll hall of fame!
My favorite movie of all time - The Goodbye Girl!
Beautiful voice, beautiful song, and one heck of a movie! Thanks!
Its a beautiful movie
The movie was the story of my life with my mom at the time. I watch it every time it's on and it brings back such bittersweet memories. This song always brings me to tears.
👌 A walk down memory lane... Always loved this song and the sensitivity in his voice.
One of the greatest singer songwriters from the seventies you will never hear music this good again. All the great songs have already been written sorry for all the new performers
70’s love songs had a big part in who I am as a person. It connected me to my Soul and grounded me there.
At the beginning of this song I always feeling like taking a deep breath, relaxing, closing my eyes and going back to the 70's at the rollerskating at the rink.

I love David Gates "GOODBYE GIRL" love his voice!
I used to do a lot of traveling as a kid back and forth between my parents and this song and his other music was great for traveling.
This is one of my favorite songs ever by Mr. Gates! I'm a big fan of Bread's love ballads.
Grew up listening to Bread, the Carpenters and other great 70's bands, and had the pleasure of meeting David Gates [he lived next door to some friends of ours in Hidden Hills, CA]. Tremendous singer, will never be anyone like him....
love his songs so much.. 2024 til forever..❤
A voice of an angel. Such a beautiful song
What an immense talent. His best songs are perfection.
Music in today reality can not compare this 👍🏻🙏🏻
A wonderful singer. One of the best and a great songwriter as well.

David Gates a gift to humanity.
Greatest songs i was 17 yearls old when this great golden singer came around. He belonged to a great group, bread. A gift from God. Thank you David Gate.
Thank You For Sharing This Song!
This song couldn't be more perfect for the movie. Great job DG.
For those who want to sing along
All your life you've waited for love to
Come and stay
And now that I have found you, you must
Not slip away
I know it's hard believin' the words you've
Heard before
But darlin' you must trust them just once
More, 'cause baby
Goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean
We'll never be together again
If you wake up and I'm not there, I won't
Be long away
'Cause the things you do my Goodbye Girl
Will bring me back to you.
I know you've been taken, afraid to hurt
Again
You fight the love you feel for me instead
Of givin' in
But I can wait forever, a-helpin' you to see
That I was meant for you and you for me so remember
Goodbye doesn't mean forever
Let me tell you goodbye doesn't mean
We'll never be together again
Though we may be so far apart you still
Will have my heart
So forget your past my Goodbye Girl
'Cause now you're home at last

David Gates is a gifted , smooth , honey voiced singer and song writer . All wrapped up in one package , and not a bad looking one at that .
David Gates! Master class
The 20 track The Sound Of Bread compilation may be the finest collection ever released. All the David Gates written hits are to be found, some superb Griffin/Royer songs and a few selected album tracks.
Absolutely beautiful

One of my favorite song when i sad. And one of my favorite voice and singer. Mabuhay david gates.
When performing live is not an issue. Great song and artist.
Not that Gates was singing live here.
True. Every sound, instrument & Nuance exactly as the Studio Recording. At first I wondered if he was singing LIVE to a Studio backing track, but everything was exactly like it. Not even the finest performers are THAT exact in every detail?
LOVED The Good-Bye Girl.
He is one of the best song writers and this beautiful love song shows it . one of my favorites .

The first movie I ever went to. Beautiful song!!
60s - 90s pure magic. 🎠
This song has my heart 💖💜💖
Relaxed and pleasant voice. Brilliant song
I loved that movie. The song is great too.
Most all the greats all started in Philadelphia and all have to travel west but one of the best stayed in Philly and that was Ed Hurst who used to do the Steel Peir show on Saturdays what great talent we had in the 70's music movies writers TV and yes those were the days!!!!
Hank T miss the 70s. If I could go back to 1970, when I was 15yrs old, I would not change a thing. Great times, plus 4 yrs in the Marine Corps.
A greater golden singer with bread, classic music that will never come back to our generations. I was 14 years old a gift that God gave it to me, this great singer and bread musical band.
Also listen to David Gates great song "Took the Last Train" off the same album and all his tons of great Bread Tunes! The 70's and 80's music was so much better than most the garbage they put out today! My condolences to those of you that weren't alive in the 70's and 80's!

The almost 'perfect love song ever written' that till today hasn't been bettered.
I was just thinking of my favourite band "Bread" yesterday. Somehow this song came to my mind and then I started to tear up. Brings back such wonderful memories of the 80s.
You woudnt find a better singer than David Gates
