  David Gates - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Gates (born December 11, 1940) is a singer and songwriter, best known as the front man of the group Bread (formed in 1967).
Gates was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, dropped out of college and married young, and set off for California to begin a career in music.
Having spent several years out of music altogether, Gates returned to the spotlight in the 1990s, and is still writing and performing.

 DAVID GATES of Bread - Rock Music Artists - Corporate Entertainment Booking
Two Southern musicians, David Gates of Tulsa, Oklahoma, and James Griffin of Memphis, Tennessee, were struck simultaneously by a bolt of ambition, and in 1962 found their separate paths to Los Angeles, California, where music seemed to be flourishing with great potential for talented people to express themselves creatively.
Both David and James were constantly honing their skills as writers, instrumentalists, and arrangers in many musical circles around L.A., plugging their songs and penning tunes for a litany of contemporaneous recording artists.
David Gates followed up with another ballad, the smash hit "Make It With You." It became obvious that this 'soft rock' approach was going to be the sound that Bread would ultimately become identified with and certainly had a deep connection with as players.

 Adrift in the Sea of Adulthood / David Gates' characters are at once self-aware and self-destructive   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Rather, Gates writes about real people, adrift in the amorphous sea of adulthood, battered by their own petty compromises, the inability to live up to their better selves.
Similarly, the narrator of ``Vigil,'' a man waiting for his adult daughter to emerge from a coma, is willing to focus on anything except the truth of the situation: that the car crash in which she was injured occurred after an adulterous assignation in an anonymous motel.
Gates' meandering approach is not always successful; ``A Wronged Husband,'' for instance, seeks to capture the implosion of a marriage, but despite some insights (``I remember speaking the vows,'' the narrator tells us, ``and thinking, Maybe''), there is little to engage us.

David Gates next record, Never Let Her Go (1975), simply reiterated (with slightly diminished results) the eclectic formula of First.

 David Gates - First   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Despite the presence of such prestigious sidemen as Jim Gordon, Jim Horn, Larry Knetchel and Russ Kunkel, David Gates' first solo album since the breaking of Bread is the same old slick rock & roll Muzak -- often very pretty and doubtless commercial, but devoid of identity.
Produced and arranged by Gates, the album comprises ten attractive formula tunes, the best of which have the professional gloss of filtered airbrushed nude centerfolds in which nothing is revealed.
Gates' voice is ideal when sliding from tenor to alto to tenor in ballads such as "Sail Around the World," "Ann" and "Clouds," typically romantic daydreams puffed up with phony, soap-opera pathos.
