and post notes and photos about your poem like Andrea Dietrich.
Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, 1940, David Gates was a very musically inclined individual who played several instruments and wrote many songs made popular by singers of the 60's. He later moved to LA and it was after '69 when he formed the group Bread that he became famous for not only writing songs but for singing them. Other hits of his group not mentioned in my poem include "It Don't Matter To Me," "Diary" and "Aubrey." He also wrote the song made famous by the movie of the same title: "The Goodbye Girl."
He is probably not my very favorite songwriter. I have too many to ever narrow it down to just one. But I was impressed to write of him since he was one whose music made me dreamy!
