42 years!
Seems like only yesterday.
Unlike most “greatest hits” collections this was one you just dropped the needle on and only went back to flip the album.
Those were great days my friend, great days.
Youth truly is wasted on the young!
My sister’s favorite band when we were growing up.
We had the Reel-to-Reel of “On the Waters” which was played non-stop, I remember really liking that album (it had ‘Make it With You’ on it).
The question being...did more people hear them on the radio or in an elevator?
Cassette tape.

Amazing number of great songs in a short period of time. And then, poof, they were gone.
David Gates was around for a long time doing music commercially.
I call this kind of thing a person going through their “Creative Period”. You see it all the time.
Probably in the elevator!
Too many great songs were turned into so much crappy elevator music!
One of my boys developed a fondness for Bread along with the Moody Blues. His musical interests run all over the place, but it’s nice that younger people are enjoying them.
Am I the only one to find the lyrics to “If” completely an irredeemably nauseating?
Thanks, David, for some great tunes.
ff
Not to mention that high pitched girly seventies voice.
Ugh.
Ha. Nice!
Ping.
That was make out music in the 70s. I had the 8-Track.
“Am I the only one to find the lyrics to “If†completely an irredeemably nauseating?”
No. And “Baby I’m A Want You” can be substituted for epicac.
Another group (like Toto) formed from highly acclaimed studio musicians.
Lots of good hits, too!
Their “Best of” album had superb engineering and the latest re-mastered version by my friend, Steve Hoffman, is easily the best sounding version.
I liked the album. I still have it.
Off topic: I just brought my turntable out of the attic and set it up (had to get a new needle, cartridge and a pre-amp, btw).
I was excited to get “full fidelity analog sound.” I compared a Stevie Wonder song on vinyl and iPhone (through the amplifier).
Independent tests showed the iPhone sound was... better.
WHAT??!!
Valium on Vinyl.....
Ugh
Members of my old Milwaukee band Methyl Ethyl and the Ketones moved to Ca. and formed a band called Jelly. They did a tour with Bread. Actress Amy Madigan and organist Jesse “Jelly” Roe alone with Freddy Blifert from The Hound Dog Band. It was The Bread and Jelly Tour.
