Bread Oldies

Bread
Artist Overview
The kings of 1970s soft rock, Bread was led by singer/songwriters David Gates and James Griffin. The band's mellow, highly melodic style made it a mainstay on the Top 40 and AM radio throughout the decade, with huge hits such as "If" and "Baby, I'm A-Want You." Bread split in the late 1970s, with Gates and Griffin pursuing solo careers. Gates had a solo smash with the title song for the hit film THE GOODBYE GIRL, and Griffin found success in the country-music field with the Remingtons. Any hopes of a Bread reunion were dashed when Griffin died of cancer in January 2005.
