I have been a Bread fan since the early 70’s but I didn’t know David Gates wrote this song in memory of his father. Like you said, I am now hearing this song in a different light. And by the way, you are truly awesome. Please keep uploading. I enjoy the heck out of your performances.
Que buena interpretación... para mí esa junto if lo mejor del mundo ..bread lo mejor d lo mejor....nunca me cance d bailarla con mi amor. Desde los 12 años.
WoW ! Absolutely stunning ! You are indeed a very talented musician. I was truly impressed and amazed by your musical abilities. They are truly remarkable. I saw guitar, bass, and drums all accompanied by your superb vocals !
My mom introduced me to this song on the radio when it was first on the radio in 1972. She said it made her think of her father. Well, Mom passed 2 months ago, and I just stumbled across your cover of the song. I love how there were more of "you" in the ensemble than Zathras had brothers on Babylon 5, and how deftly you all played off each other. Mom would have cried. I know I did. Thank you.
My wife and I have been married for 44 years now. Bread was the band we always listened to when we were dating and first married. We were too broke to go to any concerts back then but, I did take my wife to a wonderful concert they put on when she turned 40. It was a wonderful evening! I am so glad you did this song. It takes me right back to those times. Our favorite Bread song is "If" (hint, hint hint wink wink)
Wow, I just found you by accident here on RUclips about a half hour ago on my feed, and I can’t believe I’ve missed out on all these fantastic covers all these years!! As a musician myself, since I was a pre-teen (over 50 years), I have to say that you are truly one of the most talented, multi-instrumentalists and vocalists I have ever seen or heard… playing guitar/bass/keyboards and a small Stray Cats-type drum set, I used to do stuff like this many many years ago, first on multiple old Panasonic tape recorders, and then got into more modern demo recording and equipment and as good as I feel I ever have been, you are light years ahead of most people I follow on RUclips as far as any cover bands, or artists… And the fact that you do these spot-on pitch-perfect covers, note for note, syllable for syllable, all the guitars, the drums, the keyboards, and all the vocals is absolutely astonishing, and your talent is superb!! I have already subscribed at this point, and I will be delving into your vast catalog of videos and covers from now on 🎼🎤🎸🥁🎸🎹🎸
I live in a nursing home in Canada. I spend a great deal of my day on the Net. Just found your channel and immediately became a subscriber. You sir are fabulous.
I love this song. It is the anthem that touches my heart, missing my dad. I didn't know, until recently, that Gates wrote it for his own dad. Learning that made it all the more beautiful for me. I've watched other covers, but yours is truly fun and seeing the instrumentation made it extra special. Thank so much for doing it.
I'm back for another infusion of soul soothing excellence from "The Cover God" - Russ! Thanks, brother! I can always count on you to pull me up from the well of despair! 🙏💯👍
Russ, I feel like you play again and again from my own personal playlist. So many of my upper echelon songs get covered by you, and you always do a great job. This one is no exception.
You did a fantastic job on this song . I heard it on the radio today and the dj said he thought that song was about losing his girlfriend but he interviewed the singer and he said it was about his dad he was really close to his dad. I really enjoy listening to your music its just like listening to the real band hope to hear more music from you have a great day
wow,!!! bread is one of my favorite bands ... sir you are incredible if I was not watching the video I would think I was hearing Bread.. You sir are AMAZING !!!!! ENOUGH FOR ME TO SUBSCRIBE TO YOUR CHANNEL WOW!!! I LIKE PLAYING BREAD SONGS AND SINGING THEM. BUT YOU NAIL IT AND YOUR TALENT TO PLAY ALL THE PARTS !!!! SIR, I WAS NOT EXPECTING YOUR VOICE TO SOUND LIKE DAVID GATES ...
Great job as usual, Russ David Gates wrote this song for his father who did not live enjoy the major hits of Bread and I have read that Gates had difficulty completing the recording because he would keep tearing up.
In the early 1970's, Mom and I went downtown in Chicago...as we often did. We usually stopped in "Montgomery Wards" and I liked to visit the electronics dept. on the 2nd floor. At the top of the escalator, were these hippies and they were giving out loafs of bread. As a 10 year old kid.....I had no idea. Wish I kept the wrapper.
I almost never log in on RUclips, but I had to say how SPECTACULAR this piece is! The musicianship outstanding... vocals with real punch... and the Heart and Soul you pour into it all make for divine listening. Cheers on ya! Thanks.
Great Job. i'm 50 years old. this song is one of my favourites.
Glad to hear it; thanks so much!
@@russwilloughby501 you're welcome
Dude ; What a wonderful memory from my youth in the 70's. Thank you Russ.

David Gates got me through my lovesick early twenties.
I hear ya! Thanks so much for listening!

Great story, Ray. Unfortunately I was never able to see the band but, man, what great music! So glad for you. Many thanks for listening!
Beautiful song❤️
One of the greatest covers of this song I've ever heard

I am a nurse. I wish I worked where you are. You and I would enjoy amazing music together.😊
Great job sir 👏
So nice of you
Literally a one man band. ❤
I would give everything I own to be able to sing like David Gates! Great job Russ...impressive vocal range!
But I'll bet David couldn't growl out C.F. Turner like Russ
Thanks so much....I had my tight jeans on that day.
LOL...and for some reason I don't think C.F. could sing like David Gates!
Absolutely gorgeous 😍🥰
@@russwilloughby501 🤣 "I had my tight jeans on that day."
The world needs more of this. Great job, sir.
Thanks so much...I really appreciate it!
Here you again.. the acoustic is fantastic ..Your duo vocal is fantastic..From Marmalade to Hollies and now you are David Gates.
So happy you like the videos so much...thanks!
Impressive cover of the Bread classic. Well done Russ.
Glad you enjoyed it Many thanks!

In the early 1970's, Mom and I went downtown in Chicago...as we often did. We usually stopped in "Montgomery Wards" and I liked to visit the electronics dept. on the 2nd floor. At the top of the escalator, were these hippies and they were giving out loafs of bread.
As a 10 year old kid.....I had no idea.
Wish I kept the wrapper.
Thanks for sharing! Very cool!
Cantas muy bien, hermosa voz, te felicito amigo sigue adelante deléitanos con tu voz, muchas gracias. un abrazo de chile...
