This gem still remains my favourite Bread song and Griffins best contribution. The fact it was still not a single in favour of Gates lethargicly mellow pop tunes is disgraceful. The song has some dynamic hooks with Griffins' paced melody over a original guitar strum. The breathless delivery of Griffins' worn down lover serves the exasperated tone of this bitter breakup song in a complex way that Gates often did with his deceptively romantic love songs.
Bringing obscure songs from the 1970s such as deep album cuts, underrated cover songs and forgotten singles back on this blog. The 70s was a great time for music, possibly the best and the most diverse; that some gems that need to be rediscovered

Bread (1970) Look What You've Done
David Gates and Bread are like Marc Bolan and T Rex; it's not quite a solo artist with a backing band but they are easily more than the front man of a popular group they are their respective band's creative core. They are irreplaceable and behind a lot of the success and responsible for the sound. Gates however was not the only singer songwriter in Bread though he wrote and sang all the singles. Bread being a singles band to an extent made Gates too much the face of the band while Jimmy Griffin, a talented singer songwriter had his gems relegated to album fodder.
