ʻO ka hui ma lalo o ka inoa laconic Bread i lilo i hoʻokahi o nā mākaʻikaʻi o ka pop-rock o nā makahiki 1970. ʻO nā haku mele ʻo If and Make It With You ua noho i kahi kūlana poʻokela ma nā papa mele o ke Komohana, no laila ua kaulana nā mea pena kiʻi ʻAmelika.
Ka hoomaka ana o ka hana a ka hui Berena
Ua hāʻawi ʻo Los Angeles i ka honua i nā hui nui e like me The Doors a i ʻole Guns N' Roses. Ua hoʻomaka pū ka hui Berena i ko lākou ala hana ma kēia kūlanakauhale. ʻO 1969 ka lā kūhelu o ka hana ʻana o ka hui. ʻO ka haku mele mua o ka hui Bread he ʻekolu wale nō mea mele: ʻo David Gates ka mea nāna i hoʻokumu i ka hui, ʻo Robb Royer a me James Griffin.
I ka wā o kāna hana hoʻomohala, ua hoʻokō ʻo Gates i ka loaʻa ʻana o nā hoaaloha ma nā pōʻai mele, ua hana pū me Elvis Presley, a me Glenn Campbell, a me Pat Boone. Hoʻokani pinepine ʻo David ma nā hui like ʻole ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻokani pila. Ua hālāwai ʻo ia me Royer i ka wā o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i kāna album hope aʻe, ʻo The Pleasure Fair.
Ua hui ʻo Griffin iā Gates ma hope o kona kono ʻia e hana i kāna moʻolelo. Ma hope o ke kamaʻilio liʻiliʻi, ua ʻae nā kāne e hana i kahi papahana hui, a laila lilo i quartet kaulana.
Albums Bread and On The Waters
No ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka moʻolelo mua, nele ka hui i ka mea hoʻokani pahu. Ua lawe ʻo Jim Gordon i kēia wahi ma ke ʻano he mea pena kiʻi malihini. ʻAʻohe o ka poʻe mele e "hopu i nā hōkū mai ka lani" a ʻaʻole i manaʻo e kūleʻa loa ka album. Akā ua laha koke ka longplay me ka inoa maʻalahi ʻo Bread i waena o ka poʻe pā o ka pōhaku palupalu melodic a loaʻa kahi kaulana.
I ka hopena o ka makahiki 1969, ua hui pū ʻo Mike Botts i ka hui ma kahi o ka mea hoʻokani pahu ʻo Gordon. ʻAʻole hiki ke ʻae ʻia kahi hōkū e piʻi aʻe nei (ka hui Bread). Ua hoʻomaka ka poʻe mele e hoʻopaʻa i kā lākou album lua, On The Waters.
Ua kaulana loa ka haku mele Make It With You. Ua hoʻokuʻu hou ʻia ʻo ia ma ke ʻano he hoʻokahi a kūʻai aku ma luna o 1 miliona mau kope a puni ka ʻāina.
ʻO ka album On The Waters i kaulana ai ka hui, hāʻawi i ke kukui ʻōmaʻomaʻo i kā lākou album mua. No ka laʻana, ʻo ka mele It Don't Matter To Me mai ka LP Bread mua ma hope o ka paʻi ʻana i ka 10 kiʻekiʻe o ka hapa nui o nā palapala ʻAmelika. A laila hele ka hui i ka huakaʻi a ʻaʻole ʻoluʻolu i ka lehulehu me nā premieres a hiki i 1971.
Manna and Baby I'm-a Want You albums
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kahi disc piha hou i ka pūnāwai o 1971, akā ʻo ka hapa nui o nā mele mai ia mea ʻaʻole i lilo i mau hits mau loa. ʻO ka mele mele aloha wale nō Inā loaʻa ka manaʻo nui o ka lehulehu. Ma hope o kekahi manawa, ua hoʻolaha ʻo Robb Royer i kona haʻalele ʻana mai ka hui. Ua lawe ʻo Larry Knechtel i kona wahi ma nā kī.
ʻAʻole i lawe maikaʻi ka lehulehu i nā mea hou i ka hui. Ua emi iki ka noi no ka hui. Akā i ka makahiki aʻe, ua hoʻohuli ʻo Bread i ka manaʻo ma ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana iā LPs Baby I'm-a Want You and Guitar Man. ʻO ka mua o kēia mau mea i manaʻo ʻia ʻo ka hoʻokuʻu kūleʻa loa i ka mōʻaukala o ka hui.
ʻO ka hāʻule a me ke ola hou ʻana o ka hui Bread
ʻAʻole hiki i ka hapa nui o nā hui mele ke pale i nā paio ma waena o nā lālā o ka hui. A ʻo ia ka hopena i kali ʻia i ka Berena. Ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o Guitar Man, ua hoʻomaka nā hakakā ma waena o Griffin a me Gates e pili ana i ke ʻano o ka mea i hoʻokuʻu ʻia. Ua makemake wale ʻo David e hoʻokuʻu i nā mea hoʻokahi, akā ua kānalua ʻo James i kēlā ʻano hoʻolālā. ʻAʻole hiki i ka poʻe mele ke ʻae - ua haki ka hui, akā ʻaʻole lōʻihi.
I ka makahiki 1976, ua ho'āʻo ʻo Bread e hui hou, me ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka album Lost Without Your Love. ʻO kekahi o nā mele mai ka hōʻiliʻili i paʻi i ka US Top 10, akā ʻaʻohe mea i hoʻi mai. Ma kahi o Griffin, ua hoʻomaka ka mea hoʻokani pila ʻo Dean Parks i nā ʻaha mele a ka hui. Ua ho'ōki ʻo Gates i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka manawa nui ma nā hoʻopaʻa leo hui, ua hana ʻo ia i ka hana solo. ʻAʻole i ʻike nui ʻia kāna album Goodbye Girl. I ka hoʻoholo ʻana ua luhi ka pōhaku palupalu i kā lākou hana, ua hoʻopuehu hou nā mea hoʻokani.
Ua hoʻoholo ʻia lākou e komo hou i ka pae like ma hope o 20 mau makahiki. I ka makahiki 1996, ua hui ka hui Bread no kahi huakaʻi ʻaha mele nui o nā kūlanakauhale o ʻAmelika, ʻEulopa, ʻAsia a me ʻApelika Hema. He kūleʻa maikaʻi ka huakaʻi a hoʻomau a hiki i 1997. A laila hele hou nā mea hoʻokani pila i nā papahana solo, i kēia manawa no ka maikaʻi.
I kēia lā, ʻo Robb Royer a me Bread ka mea hoʻokumu ʻo David Gates, ka mea i hoʻolauleʻa i ko lākou 2020th anniversary ma 80, e koe mai ka hui. Ua hoʻopiʻi ʻo 2005 i nā ola o ʻelua mau lālā o ka hui i ka manawa hoʻokahi - ʻo James Griffin lāua ʻo Mike Botts. Ua make lāua ʻelua i ka maʻi kanesa. Ma 2009, haʻalele ʻo Larry Knechtel i ko mākou honua. Ua ʻoki ʻia ke ola o ka mea hoʻokani pila ma muli o ka ʻeha puʻuwai.
Ke hoʻomau nei ʻo Royer i kahi ʻoihana kūleʻa kūleʻa i ka Virgin Islands. Noho mālie ʻo Gates ma kekahi o kāna mau holoholona ma ka ʻākau o Kaleponi.
