Cyrus Cassidy #45437 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 My parents had this vinyl record, and I still like the music. But I figure this forum would remember them better: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex Wilson Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Nice 70's era group, a couple of their hits were, "Baby Im-a want You" and "Make it With You" they were kind of a soft rock band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwater 53393 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Late 60s early 70s “soft rock” group. “If” was probably their biggest hit. Today it would be elevator music called easy listening/pop. There were some REALLY good musicians in that band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yul Lose Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Yes. Very easy to listen to unlike Steppenwolf and some others I listened to back then. The 70’s were the best in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rye Miles #13621 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 I had that album!! They were a decent group. Lots of good old love songs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Choctaw Jack Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 IIRC the lead man for the group,David Gates,teamed up with Pete Carpenter of The Carpenters after his sister Karen committed suicide.Together they wrote lots of theme music for television. We probably heard more of their music than we even realized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Great group. David Gates is the one on the far right in the photo. He was basically the lead singer and song writer. As already mentioned, "IF" was one of their big hits. David also sang "Goodbye Girl". If you wanna hear some really good music, go to YouTube and type in 'Bread' or 'David Gates'. Be ready to sit in your easy chair and relax. I still listen to them all the time. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 As long as this thread is expanding to encompass more great music from Bread’s era, all for the purpose of enlightening young Cyrus Cassidy’s breadth of harmonic knowledge... Richard Carpenter was the first producer who used multi-track recording to allow one singer to lay down multiple tracks and create their own song in harmony with themself. The Carpenters’ “We’ve Only Just Begun” was the first #1 hit to use that technique. Bobby McFerrin’s “Don’t Worry. Be Happy.” Is probably the most recent. And since I knew Cyrus would ask, here is Karen in all her amazing glory... The only female voice you hear is her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 70’s were the best in my opinion. Best music, best muscle cars (70-74 that is) and Love those 70's hair styles Chicago's "Old Days." Good times I remember, Gold days, fulled with simply pleasures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
