Another Recording of If

In the entertainment field, I have a familiar face. In movies and TV, I have been all over the place. There are some memorable parts that I can call my own. A doll named “Talky Tina” tripped me down the stairs in “The Twilight Zone” I have been an actor for quite a few years back. Most folks know me best as television’s “Kojak”. Mr. David Gates has written a pretty song. He and his group called “Bread” could do no wrong. Their song went very high on Billboard’s charts. The beautiful melody and lyrics won some hearts. A lot of records have been sold by David Gates and Bread. Perhaps the public would like to hear something else instead. There’s another side of me most people don’t know. I think it would be good to enter a recording studio. I will do an oration with musicians and a chorus. I have a feeling what I do will be fabulous. If my recording gets some air time on the radio, I believe my rendition will have far to go. I got to perform my version on another television show. My record will be going places; I know.

Did you know that David gates once was with a group called the "Mermaids". They had a hit called "The Things we Love". My nephews bothe paly in bands - The Mad Doctors and Sirs and Madams. I enjoyed your wok here. Do you actually play in a band or are you just wring a poem about a common fantasy? Peace & Blessings Matthew Ansih

No I don't play in a band. I took clarinet lessons when I was eight years old, but I never have played any instruments in public. Actually, David Gates was not a member of the Murmaids (that's how they spelled their name). He wrote the song which was titled "Popsicles and Icicles".

by the way, I loved their albums. I used to listen to them before sleeping. Back in the early 70's.

Yes, this is for the If contest. I really don't know much about David Gates. I only know he was the lead singer of "Bread". He had one solo hit which was the theme song to the 1976 movie "The Goodbye Girl".
