Composer
David Gates (1940-)
David Gates (born 11 December 1940) is an American singer-songwriter, best known as the lead singer of the group Bread, which frequently topped the musical charts in the 1970s. The band is now in the Vocal Group Hall of Fame.
Originally from Tulsa, Oklahoma, Gates was surrounded by music from infancy, as the son of a band director and a piano teacher. He became proficient in piano, bass and guitar by the time he enrolled in Tulsa's Will Rogers High School. Gates joined local bands around Tulsa. During a concert in 1957, his high school band backed Chuck Berry. Later, Gates released his first local hit single, "Jo-Baby," a song he had written for his sweetheart, Jo Rita, whom he married in 1958 while enrolled at the University of Oklahoma.
