This song is about David Gates' father who passed away in 1963. Gates was the lead singer for Bread. Their greatest hits album is a treasure trove. Knocking on 10k Miss E.
You are right about it being a masterpiece. David and his bread bandmates particularly James Griffin wrote so many Classics songs. You will have a wonderful time diving into their catalog. They were truly magnificent musicians with tremendous songwriting skills.
You have such an amazing mind for such a young person. Very refreshing. Thank you very much for the awesome reaction. This song always hits home with me for sure.😃🙏🏻
Awww.. i remember singing this song in a Jeepney in Philippines. All the Filipinos and filipinas were impressed with me.. i miss Philippines so much!!!
Hi E♥ I heard this song when I broke up with my 1st serious girlfriend and another song from them called Baby I'm a want you, both from 1972, but I was young and stupid and after a couple of days I said "What are you doing" and put on Deep Purple and Smoke On the Water and I was good LOL
I really don't have anything I can say. This song speaks VOLUMES on its own. David Gates has a magical voice that could put you in a virtual trance. This is not an end; Bread had many beautiful songs and many hits. Well worth the journey. Beautiful song, great reaction!!!!!!!!
Great pick again! Underrated Group IMO. Mellow. Bought the album back then and it has been a while since I heard this. I may buy their greatest hits now that you reacted to this.
You picked a wonderful song by Bread! There are many. I loved them back then and I love them now. Thank you for this one. I also like "Make It With You" and "Guitar Man".
There two voices in the history of popmusic absolutely beautiful. That's this one and the voice of Robin Gibb. Thank you verry much for this one, it's just perfect. 👊❤
Some classic songs from this band, they got famous from soft rock/ballads written by David Gates like this song, "If," "Make It with You," "Baby I'm-a-Want You." Bread's bassist and keyboardist was Larry Knetchtel, who could play these wonderful gospel or blues lines on piano (the most famous of which is "Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Simon & Garfunkel...other great examples are The Byrds' "Glory, Glory" and Poco's "The Honky Tonk Upstairs").
Awesome take on Bread.So glad to see and hear some of the earlier music appreciated by you and your fellow podcast followers.One request,"Broken Bells" by Greta Van Fleet.(The Candle session)
Classic band and classic song, as I said before David Gates just has a mesmerizing voice. I was going to mention that there is no description box for any of your other platforms. Anyway you have in tears with this song, my mother loved David Gates and Bread was one of her favorites, she is no longer with us but you brought so many memories and beautiful memories Thank you mija!
Strangely enough this reminds me of my favorite uncle who passed away in 1989. He only liked "'Big Band Music" from the 1940's into the 1950's. One day he he was all excited and raved about this beautiful song he heard that a guy wrote about his father. So I think of him when I hear it. He used to call me " Ol'buddy ' and my cousins were jealous... : )
Guys most of the time will not show their feelings, but this song brings me to my knees. It is a constant thing and that is why some guys like me will never knowingly admit to it, just sayin'
Elok, I enjoy watching your music reactions and like that you are so polite :) You are absolutely right about enjoying your family while you can as I can relate to family members who have passed-away.
Beautiful song. And my advice to all. If you saw her and you knew she was it. Don't waste time and follow her. Because if you don't you will always be haunted with the words WHAT IF I DID.

You will need to listen to the song by Bread. It is called "Aubrey"
Guys most of the time will not show their feelings, but this song brings me to my knees. It is a constant thing and that is why some guys like me will never knowingly admit to it, just sayin'
What a unique reactor...cute and sweet.
David gates & bread is the best band for me. The most popular songs & excellent
❤❤
my fav is the diary by bread
Elok, I enjoy watching your music reactions and like that you are so polite :) You are absolutely right about enjoying your family while you can as I can relate to family members who have passed-away.
Check out the song called if by bread very beautiful
Beautiful song. And my advice to all. If you saw her and you knew she was it. Don't waste time and follow her. Because if you don't you will always be haunted with the words WHAT IF I DID.
My 2nd fav is Aubrey by bread
Listen to "If", "Diary", "Aubrey" and his other incredible ballads.
Listen to every song they sang, "Guitar Man", Aubrey, Baby I'M A WANT YOU" AND listen to Karen Carpenter "SuperStar" & A Song for you"❤
When music had melody.
"Go for a cup of coffee" Ha! One of the many things that make music back then better is effort in lyrics. Today it's just rambling or silly memes.
🎸🎸🎸1/2 They had many hits. Check out If and Baby I'm A Want you. I think they are better songs.
Muchos hombres como suscriptotes....BE CAREFUL, Elok.....!!!!😮
Wow. That video had some serious problems.
Pretty sure David Gates was from Tulsa, OK.
