DAVID GATES (1971) - 'It Don't Matter To Me' (In Concert at the BBC)

Recorded 'Live in Concert' for the BBC, airing in the UK during January 1972. Although he was a member of BREAD at the time, this was a solo performance and neither Jimmy Griffin, Mike Botts nor Robb Royer made the journey across the Atlantic with him for this one...

I'm 66 years old and I still get the chills down my back listening to this song when I when I was 15 years old I was around 15 16 years old just amazing David Gates and bread what a band what a great band wrote some beautiful songs

[beckysummars]

65 years old, and this still gets to me. My teenage years in the 70s were the best, broken heart and all.❤

1973 born here with a Mother that always had her little black radio on with a piece of masking tape marking her favorite station. I grew up with Annie Dreamboat Annie, love that song, early Heart, Bread, Dan Fogelberg, The Moody Blues, etc. Sometimes I’ll play 70’s soft rock to calm down. Takes me back to playing on my swing set, blue skies smilin at me, no cares.🐝🦋🌻🌞

I've had one of their albums for about 45 years now. I am getting old and sure miss being young and innocent.

No computers at that time. Orchestra served very nicely. Thank you very much

This guy could write and sing the most beautiful songs.

[GranTube]

This is what you call talent! Not the crap you hear today!

[AlleyCat]

There was a girl I loved with all my heart. She broke up with me with this song. 50 years later I still think of her.

[chrismurphy]

Its as simple as this, David Gates with his band Bread wrote some of the most beautiful songs, he also had the perfect voice to sing them. Its a real shame you rarely hear his music on the radio today

David Gates was one the best singer-songwriters from the 70s. Beautiful melodies Beautiful Voice!

[thomasromano]

One of the finest writers of love songs from the 1970's.

[pevensielavere]

I'm still in love with your voice, David Gates. Ever since I was a kid.
I noticed you and your wife will be married 60 years this year. Wow. That's amazing. Bless you both.
