Mr. Gates is a very blessed man: He had a GREAT career, changed the world with his music but he never let it go to his head, he handled his personal life and his money with wisdom, and retired prosperously & happily with the wife of his youth and their (now long adult) children.
Married to the same woman 62 years. No smoking and no drinking - Four kids - 3 lawyers and a surgeon - cowboying and ranching...*sigh* By the way “Bread” is a Biblical reference and their first albums were called On the Waters and Manna...So clearly God is in their lives too.
David Gates has 4 children. three of them are now lawyers and one is a cardiothoracic surgeon. He lives happily in Mount Vernon, Washington enjoying his retirement with his high school sweetheart and wife - Jo Rita
Way back in Summer 1998... David Gates appeared solo at the Cove Haven Resort [Lakeville,PA] accompanied w/ a small string orchestra for one evening. My late wife & I happily sat 2 rows away from the small 300 seat theater's stage. David if you someday read this comment. I just wish to say thanks for making the long trip East for your legion of Bread fans. Best Regards, Tony DiBello
I don't think any of those people in the audience realize the impact that this mans songs, singing and playing has had on peoples lives. Millions upon millions of people have had their lives played out on the soundtrack of this mans words, as has just as many had hearts broken and lives enriched.
David Gates's voice quality hasn't changed at all. He's truly a rare gem. Love listening to Bread. Magnificent classic band! God Bless him even more ❤ 🇧🇷
This man made unforgettable music with the most appropriate lyrics. It's so easy to connect to his songs because they speak our thoughts and reflect our emotions.
His voice is still as strong and amazing as it was in 1970.. That is saying a lot since this is 2019..This man has more talent in his little finger than todays performers have in their entire bodies..
You have the most amazing voice. I listen to you every single day. I cry when I listen, because I want to go back in time so bad. I never got to see you. Thank you for being a big part of my life.
I saw your post and when I read it I started crying too. I listened to the AM radio when I was a kid in North Carolina and Bread was one of my favorite groups. I think I bought Guitar Man on a 45 rpm record at Grant's for .69 cents.
He said in an interview, now at 76, a Bread reunion would be unlikely. Sometimes it's better to be grateful and stay the heck out of the limelight when your best work is behind you." Well, he is a national treasure I think.

I AM BLOWN AWAY, HOW & THE HECK DOES HZ VOICE SOUND THE SAME AS SWEET & MELLOW AS WHN HE WZ WHAT? 35? A BLESSED VOICE! LISTENING I THOUGHT IT WAS THE 60'S-70'S AGAIN❣THEIR SONGS ALWAYS FAVORITE, BEAUTIFUL❣ G'na in the D
I was a pre-teen in mid 70s. My brother had a Bread Greatest Hits 8-track. I wore that thing out. I could sing and play the guitar but I never gave a thought of what I could have done at the time. 20/20 hingsight.
Met David Gates a couple of times, he lived next door to some friends of ours in Hidden Hills, CA. Very nice and humble man that sang terrific songs during my school years.
In my opinion one of the greatest musical composer /vocalists in the business. Close your eyes and swear was 1972 listening to that beautifully clear tone.
Just saw your video and wanted to thank you . Thank You. I wish I could shake the hand of David Gates and i would tell him what it meant to me growing up with his songs. Between The Beatles and Bread i followed along with their music and learned how to use my voice as an instrument.Now at the age of 66 i still have my singing voice, and its all because of the way he could hit the highs without straining the vocal chords.the results is longevity.
Gosh, he's gotten better looking over time and he sounds the same. Before I watched this video, I had a feeling that he would still sound great, because his music was so soft and gentle, not like the screamers of hard rock, who's vocal chords can't hold up. What a guy! I never get tired of his music!
Respect to the table people for not running up and hugging him out of respect for years of amazing songs that we'll never stop singing and will pass on to our children. Eternal love to David Gates.
What a class act!! I was sitting on my new bean bag chair with my Bread album on after work last night....now that is happiness and contentment!!! 👍😍😍😍👍😃😃😃😃😃
I just heard Make It With You for the first time a few days ago, in his medley with Glen Campbell. I tear up every time I hear it, as I'm living it out.
OMG, David Gates STILL sounds good in 2019. I've ALWAYS liked the music by "Bread!!" It was a GREAT group from the 70s. He has a VERY crisp sound with his voice and it makes me cry TEARS OF JOY!! Plus he LOVES what he does by making people happy and bringing out his talents and enjoying life day after day. Kudos goes out to DAVID GATES for doing an AWESOME job on this performance!!
Bread was the main group I listened to as a pre teen 10 yrs old into my teens we did water ballet to their songs in jr high school timeless music such happy memories

rare type of person nowadays. he is a good role model for his neighborhood and also for the world
OMG. How does he still have the same voice after all those years?! It's golden...
And how about the wrinkle free skin - David dont stop now your on a roll
No drugs,good ole healthy living
Unbelievable! I’d swear it’s faked, so perfect! One of all all time greats!

My guess is clean living
David Gates has 4 children. three of them are now lawyers and one is a cardiothoracic surgeon.
He lives happily in Mount Vernon, Washington enjoying his retirement with his high school sweetheart and wife - Jo Rita

Not many artists can sound that good 40 years later - the voice and talent is undeniable - then and today - GOD BLESS you David🙏🏼

I was going to write the same thing!, that young generations sitting there, can not get to imagine who is this legendary man.
Cheryl i loved you so much..Thanks Mr Gates.
Yeah, but he might have gained some fans.
Darkest night of my life I just listened to bread and cried.
Well said 🎶💗
It’s rare to be able to keep that higher range as we get older. David Gates is the rare exception.
El DeBarge 60+ same voice still
He is singing falsetto

I believe this was 2002 recording
Happy to be alive to hear his music.
He sounds as good on this as he did in 1970-73 when these songs came out.
You have the most amazing voice.
I listen to you every single day.
I cry when I listen, because I want to go back in time so bad. I never got to see you. Thank you for being a big part of my life.
Yes, same here. Everyday really.
Gosh I feel the same way. His songs are so haunting esp Diary and Clouds.
I think the same
I saw your post and when I read it I started crying too. I listened
to the AM radio when I was a kid in North Carolina and Bread was one of my favorite groups. I think I bought Guitar Man on a 45 rpm record at Grant's for .69 cents.
Wow...that very distinctive 'falsetto' voice of David Gates & he hasn't lost it with the passing years!
He said in an interview, now at 76, a Bread reunion would be unlikely. Sometimes it's better to be grateful and stay the heck out of the limelight when your best work is behind you." Well, he is a national treasure I think.
Well, no kidding. The other members are dead.

Agreed, his music is woven in the tapestry of several generations.

If I could sing I'd want to sound like that. Absolutely stunning performance.
Wow, his voice hasn't changed a bit after all these years. Love all Bread songs to this day.
What an incredible man. His voice had not changed since the 70’s. His songs bring back soo many memories from the 70’s.
Still mesmerizing voice after all these years.

Darlene James I agree. I grew up hearing him and bread on radio.
