 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.

 Bread Fans - David Gates and Bread Atlantic City Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
David Gates, James Griffin, Larry Knechtel, and Mike Botts played for the first time in nineteen years at Atlantic City's Tropicana Showroom on August 30, 31, and September 1 (three sold-out shows).
David continued to write hit songs like "Goodbye Girl", "Took The Last Train", and "Never Let Her Go", and recently released as a brand new solo CD in 1994, "Love Is Always Seventeen", a fantastic album of typical David Gates songs.
David's, "Mirror, Mirror" was just unbelievable and James', "Just Say When" are earmarked for a new Bread album, which by the way they haven't promised, but here's to hoping.
