Guys; I don’t care about opinions and don’t expect to respect mine. But this guy is the best romantic composer ever. He’s a musician, lyricist and poems writer. One more of the many jewels from the seventies. Grew up listening to this guy now I’m 66 and still finding something new every time I listen to his songs. Thank you so much Sir Gates for all the great times and memories; you made me experience with your lullabies. Truly something “ OUT OF THE ORDINARY “.

Great days when the BBC actually cared about the arts and music !

Many have forgotten how seriously talented he is, his songs remind us of his undeniable gift to popular music.

I stumbled upon "Diary" by Bread after listening to "Without You" by Badfinger. I was initially upset that KZread redirected me to a band I was unfamiliar with. Then David Gates began to sing Diary. From that moment on, I was hooked.

David Gates = Lead Guitar + Slide Guitar + Piano + Keyboards + Drums + angelical voice and lyrics 🕊️🕊️

To me, David Gates is one of the greatest musician in this world, thanks a lot for his music. Love. Frivhid.💝🎼🎹

One of my idols in pop music. 70s was actually best music era.

What stunning songwriting...David Gates doesn't get the credit he deserves...just so amazing!

David Gates is 31 years old here, it took him until his late twenties to really get discovered. An amazing talent. David is a very humble man, I absolutely love all his music. I seriously think David Gates has one of the best singing voice ever. What shocks me is his net worth is only 3 million dollars, that makes absolutely no sense, the most underrated singer, songwriter, performer EVER.

Yep...I start with that because I agree with everyone who commented. My son who is 27 , called and said "Dad I remember when i was little you would play bread songs on your acoustic " and when we hung up I broke down. David touched so many hearts , and you know when a person of his stature is a phenomenon.? There isnt anyone and will never be anyone like him.

Listening to David Gates on this BBC program I am reminded just how very talented he was and how much I loved his music. "Make It With You" takes me back to high school and my high school girlfriend. I loved her.

David has to be one of the greatest, but most underrated singer/songwriters of all time. Love the chords he uses and those incredible falsetto vocals that he pulls off with ease.

This great musician, composer, and vocalist should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

HOLY CRAP. I appreciated his work with Bread, but this...........this shows him with much more depth and talent than he showed with the group. A true legend, underappreciated now, but his music will win out eventually and he'll get his recognition among the greatest songwriters of the era.

I am only truly recognizing him right now . I am obsessed with David Gates. I grew up with his music but it was only recently that i have truly heard him , as a grown adult male, with all of my experiences ... I am a HUGE fan now. He is absolutely brilliant

The supermarket I go to plays 70s music. I was just there this morning and heard, "It Don't Matter To Me" and "Baby I'm a Want You". Bread Lives 50+ years!👍

The best LOVE SONG SINGER SONGWRITER there ever was! Hope you are doing well still David Gates at 81!

The strings on these songs complement his singing so well. And what a true gentleman he is.

This BBC concert is something I would've never imagined to exist -- David Gates was a very small name at the time in the music business, even though Bread was climbing up the charts, and he was a well-known pop arranger throughout the musician scene in Los Angeles. In a way, with his history with Margaret Mandolph, Gates really wanted to be a mirror of Phil Spector; starting his 'Planetary' label with relatively no outside support, and arranging the songs to do with the label. He will be remembered so differently in the future, than as a dim star in an ocean of bright ones today. He'll be known as well as Spector or B. Wilson is, in terms of his songwriting and producing efforts. David Gates was Bread, and one of the ultimate inventors of the 60s California sound. Which lead to soft rock and his eventual solo career. One hell of a talent.

This concert is beauty, defined. What a creative genius, and a sacred soul. Thank-you, David, for setting love to music.

Wow, what a musical journey this is. Thinking back to those days, I don't think there was a group or single singer/songwriter who explored the many facets of love and relationships like Bread did. I know it seemed all the young girls in high school loved these guys while none of us would never own up to the fact that they crafted some superior songs and albums, too concerned we were over Led Zeppelin or Grand Funk Railroad. Almost 50 years passed from this performance and I mourn the popular music that has passed from my youth.....
