The Musical Journey of David Gates, James Griffin, Robb Royer, Mike Botts & Larry Knechtel
For a fleeting few years back in the 1970s, they were the pioneers of the American 'soft rock' genre, known for their gentle ballads and a succession of popular singles climbing up the Billboard charts and spreading the world over.
But then it all fell apart...
The phenomenal success of the ballads swept their more progressive music aside, and internal disagreements followed - lawsuits, solo careers - before the bitterness was briefly put aside for a successful 1990s reunion.
But tragedy was still to follow...
This is the story of Bread, and the five incredibly talented musicians that made up the group. Academy Award winners, a Grammy Award winner, million-selling songwriters, respected session musicians... and hit after hit. "Make It With You", "It Don't Matter To Me", "Baby I'm-A Want You", "Everything I Own", "If", "The Guitar Man" ... and "Sweet Surrender". Featuring exclusive interviews and assistance from founding member and songwriter Robb Royer, along with numerous family members, musical associates and friends of the band - "If a picture paints a thousand words..." ("If" by David Gates)
...this is the complete picture.
Finally available in North America, this is the definitive and dramatic account of one of the ’70s biggest hitmakers.
Researched in great detail, Bread: A Sweet Surrender includes exclusive interviews with founding member Robb Royer, along with friends, family, and former musical associates of the band. This first-ever biography of Bread reveals the story behind the group members' formative years, their remarkable rise to fame, and the subsequent break-up—including the messy lawsuits that would dog them in later years. The book also features exclusive insights into their successful but short-lived 1990s reunion.
