"Bread" являлись одной из наиболее популярных поп-групп начала 70-х годов. В то время ансамбль выпустил вереницу успешных мелодичных софт-роковых синглов, автором которых являлся клавишник и вокалист Дэвид Гейтс (р. 11 декабря 1940, Оклахома). Продюсер и сессионный музыкант, в 1968 году Гейтс познакомился с Джеймсом Гриффином (гитара, вокал), уже успевшим выпустить сольную пластинку ("Summer Holiday"). Джеймс тогда пригласил Дэвида на продюсирование своего нового альбома. Однако, немного пообщавшись, парни пришли к выводу, что им надо организовать совместный проект.
Замысел был воплощен в жизнь с помощью Роба Ройера (экс-"Pleasure Faire"), с которым Гейтс сотрудничал в начале его карьеры. Вскоре трио стало одной из первых поп-групп, подписанных к лейблу "Elektra Records". Уже к концу 1968 года у "Bread" был готов дебютный одноименный альбом. Диск был полон приятных софт-роковых композиций, но, тем не менее, хит-синглов из них не получилось. Зато на втором альбоме "On the Waters" группа закрепила за собой звание хитмейкеров.
Первый же сингл с этой пластинки, "Make It With You", занял лидирующие позиции в штатовских чартах, открыв путь песне "It Don't Matter to Me" с первого диска в лучшую американскую десятку. В итоге "With On the Waters" получил "золото", и для закрепления успеха группа отправилась на гастроли. Для этого дела состав пришлось доукомплектовать барабанщиком, коим стал Майк Боттс. Выпущенный по весне 1971-го "Manna" не смог повторить успех своего предшественника, но одна из песен, "If", все же вошла в горячую десятку. После выхода пластинки "Bread" покинул Роб Ройер, а вместо него взяли клавишника Ларри Кнечтела.
Первый сингл, "Mother Freedom", выпущенный обновленным составом летом 1971-го, занял в американских чартах лишь 37-ю строчку. Зато к концу года музыканты выбросили на рынок еще один миньон, "Baby I'm-A Want You", оказавшийся уже на пятом месте в хит-парадах. В начале 1972-го в свет вышел полнометражный альбом с таким же названием, ставший наиболее успешным релизом "Bread" (третье место в чартах).
В том же году группа записала еще один полноформатник, "Guitar Man", после чего в коллективе начались трения. В основном разногласия были у Гейтса и Гриффина. Дэвид, являвшийся автором большинства хитов, настаивал на выпуске одних синглов, а Джеймс придерживался иной позиции. Договориться между собой они так и не смогли, и в результате команда была распущена. Музыканты занялись сольными карьерами, а "Elektra Records" издала пару сборников лучших вещей "Bread". В 1976-м состоялся реюнион группы, и на следующий год был записан "Lost Without Your Love". Заглавный трек с этого альбома стал последним хитом ансамбля, присутствовавшим в первой десятке.
Раздоры между Гейтсом и Гриффином вспыхнули вновь, в результате чего последний хлопнул дверью. Гейтс собрал новый состав и попытался было давать концерты по вывеской "Bread", но его бывший коллега подал на него в суд и добился запрета деятельности группы под этим названием. Дэвид и Джеймс впоследствии продолжали заниматься сольным творчеством, причем у Гейтса дела шли получше.
