Awesome voice, it is inexcusable that David Gates and Bread are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

For anyone who doesn't know, "I would give everything I own" is about his father. Gates wrote it after his dad passed.

80 years old and still married to his high school sweetheart!

As i grew up in the 60’s and 70’s this music from david g. And bread were such a comfort to me.. and yes even today as i turn 71 this year... what heaven sent comfort, to a sick and tired world. Their music still hits the sweet spot of my heart.

Who's listen this precious songs in 2020?

this guy writes the most incredible songs and has the sweetest voice, those days are gone, thank goodness we have these videos

David Gates is phenomenal. A superb songwriter, singer, guitarist. I have to add...Glenn's version of 'If' at the end of this clip is astounding. His emotive connection and soulfulness is just so immersive. You fall into this rendition.

I was iin the 10th grade in 1970, and this is the first music I every fell in love with on the radio. I was in the orchestra at school, and I feel that David Gates' music has the quality to last forever like Bach or Mozart. There is no comparison to the beauty or feelings invoked by this man's talent. David is a gorgeous man with a beautiful personality and limitless talent. I listen to his music every night as I fall asleep just as I did when I was 16 years old. I am now 66 years old, and I love and appreciate him and his talent more each day that I live. I hope his music continues to permeate my soul even after I pass to the other side, because his music is the closest thing to heaven I can imagine. THANK YOU DAVID FOR SHARING YOUR WONDERFUL TALENT WITH THE WORLD. Linda H.

A time when we had REAL music!!!

I was born 1990 but I love to listen to this kind of music, soulfull and poetric.. I really like David Gates.. He has a great talent. Just a legend.

In 1975 I was on a training course based at a hotel in Jesmond, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, England. I'd arrived on Sunday afternoon and after dinner with others from the same organisation, we all sat down in the lounge to watch some television. As the time neared 20:00 pm, I decided to risk the wrath of my colleagues by going over to the TV set and saying "I hope you don't mind if I switch over to this programme....". It was Glenn Campbell's BBC TV series and special guest this week was David Gates. There was initially some mumbling and muttering from my colleagues but within minutes, they sat in hushed amazement at the music pouring out of the TV. Every song was fantastic but perhaps the most stunning was David Gates' "Clouds Suite".....with Glen riveted to his chair with that performance. At the end of the TV show my colleagues actually applauded, they were so impressed with Glen and David. I've never forgot that performance and I've never seen that show again (the BBC told me that the recording had deteriorated after all the passing years and would not be repeated (other Glen Campbell episodes from the series were repeated, but not this one). I've hoped and prayed that one day this episode would be repeated and tonight, by chance, I stumbled upon it. Malc, thank you so much for posting this.....you have no idea how much this means to me. If ever the "Clouds Suite" segment from this show appears, in ANY format, please let me know. Kind regards from England..... Ken

Why does this version sound different from what I hear on the radio? Oh, I know:. NO LIP SYNC going on here! This was when talent could be heard without computers enhancements. God, I miss good music like this.......

Love the fact it is a true musical show, no lip sync'ing. They actually play and sing.

God, when did we fall from Grace? Can we ever get it back?

He's still one of the most soothing voices I've ever heard ever

Never thought id here "if" as good as david's. Godbless Glen

A hundred million likes. This music goes straight to my soul. Greetings from Puerto Rico to all the good music lovers, old and young.

David Gates had one of the best musical voices in the 20th Century!

Very impressive to see Gates allow Campbell to sing his masterpiece IF. Of course this is on Campbell's show. He obviously had deep respect for Glen, and it had to be mutual.

Your never hear this quality again. We've screwed ourselves today with technology. No one's creative anymore. Thank God for memories and videos like this.

these songs go down in time, they are bigger than Pink Floyd, AcDc, the stones… these songs this one man wrote.. are all Gigantic Hit Songs… every lyric and every phrase is perfect, it gives off incredible emotion and creates a memory in time… and you never loose the listener… they will always want to hear this song over and over again.

Hearing Glen sing `If` with that tender emotional voice just brings downs the tears knowing his current situation. God bless you Glen.

Glen always had the very best guests on his shows.

Few could match Glen Campbell’s natural guitar playing ability. Glen was a true master of that instrument! The only other guitarist whose masterful talent over his instrument moves me more is the matchless David Gilmour of Pink Floyd. Gilmour is the greatest guitarist of all time in my book. But as far as vocals are concerned, Campbell’s singing is not only better than Gilmours, Glen Campbell’s vocals are GOLDEN and nearly PEERLESS. Gates too is right up there with the best of the best vocalists, but his compositions (both musically as well as lyrically) IS UNMATCHED BY ANY. If I were to describe David Gates songs in only two words it would be these: “SWEETLY TIMELESS”. Bread’s songs will sound just as good 1000 years from now as they do today...and the song “IF”, especially so if it’s Glen Campbell singing it!

Two musical giants from so long ago that it makes me wonder where our years have gone. Fantastic talents and a pure pleasure to listen to. Thanks so much for digging up this long lost clip. While David is a little humble and shy, I don't know how he could have been more personable and gracious.

What a wonderful way to start my Day watching Glen and David sing.

Done on stage, live, and beautiful ! ! !

Pure and beautiful.....full of feeling. I´m fortunate by listening this wonderful songs in the /0´s. Thanks David Gates for your wonderful songs.

No comment is good enough for these two megastars...I've had the pleasure of seeing both of them live on stage in Liverpool UK...incredible artistes....

This is Fantastic! Not the first time Glen and David have played together! In the 60's both were sought after studio musicians!! Glen on Guitar and David on Bass! They played on Beach Boys and Surf albums among others

My mother accually met David Gates and Bread in an airport in Texas. She told David that I have all their albums and sing them all lol. Miss her forever...

Is there someone you know... you're loving them so... but taking them all for granted.... You may lose them one day... someone takes them away... and they don't hear the words you long to say...

Two legendary artists whose music will live on forever! Thank you for this beautiful memory!

Great artist without any doubt . Actually he didn´t receive recognition he deserved..

David Gates so great with his talent yet so humble.

WOW-these guys are really special singing some awesome songs!! Glen Campbell and David Gates!!! Thanks for all the great memories-David wrote some of the most beautiful love songs ever-includeing one to his dad-Everything I Own!! God Bless you David and Glen I know you are serenading the angels in heaven and doing better than all of us down here!!!! Hope you are blessed by this medley

"Everything I own," a song for his father...so incredible with the great singing, playing, and songwriting.

Not only his incredible voice and writing skills, but David Gates has the most amazing ability to look right into the camera lens as if he is personally singing specifically to you.

That brings a huge smile on my face, for hours I could listen to this for sure, RIP Len.

I always admire David Gates soothing voice!Relaxing!!!great voice!

There's so much love and tenderness in David's singing. I appreciate it all the more, as time goes by.... And, Glen Campbell sang "If" so wonderfully! What a tribute to such a poetic song.

UTTERLY FANTASTIC! BACK IN THE DAY WHEN TALENT HAD TRUE TALENT! gates, campbell, garfunkel, women like karen carpenter....when songwriting was songwriting and singers TRULY had incredible just incredible beautiful voices!...

WOW,,, what a voice. miss the 70"s I grew up in thank God

What an amazing song writer, singer and musician. Glen hit it out of the part here too. Great duo! You don't see this kind of talent in one place playing together nowadays.

Their voices blend PERFECTLY together! What a Wonderful experience this was for me...two of my all-time favorites!!

I have long loved the music of both these guys. They seem to really admire each other's talent here. Nice.

I so miss Bread I wanna cry

David Gates, you've marked my adolescence and I'll never forget It!! Your voice is amazing! Thank's you for existing! 💞💕💞💕💞💕💞💕

that's the best 15 minutes i have spent in a long time!! awesome!! th-up!!

This is gold!

David is so good, just a wonderful voice and writer. Glen is a great talent . listen 10:27-10:33 nice

Wow just awesome ! Two truly fantastic voices blending beautifully , their respect for one another made me smile ! Don't see stuff like this anymore 😞

Amazing talent, and mutual respect. And what courage for Glen to sing one of Bread's hit songs on national TV with David Gates right there. Very few could have pulled that off; Glen did with flying colors. Campbell had so much talent and so much grace. RIP.

The sweetest voice i've ever heard...thank you David Gates for sharing your music...so beautiful and meaningful

Man, DG is a truly master! His high notes are so sweet

Boy, I enjoyed that!!

``Everything I Own`` This was actually a tribute to David's father who passed away at that time. Listen to the words. Tell me his emotion singing this doesn't tug at your heart and make you shed a tear. If you still have your folks, call them and tell them how much they mean to you!!

FORGOT BOUT THIS ONE....THIS ARTIST IS VERY TALENTED...LOVE IT

THANK YOU ! beautiful voices.. ILV this part of my history!

I love all the Songs of David Gates

What sensitivity, and so young, this song is besides a true proof of love, a work of art 👏👏👏👏👏

They sound great together, and Glen is so handsome!

I'm so glad that I happened upon this wonderful clip! Many thanks for posting this...so poignant.

one of the most beautiful voices in the world

Those were the days my friend...

Gosh----Pop singers used to have talent and could really sing live and everything. Who knew?

I'm so in love with the voice of Mr. David Gates !... All of his songs are really great !!! Love Much !!!

Woww so beautiful. Glen is wonderful in any avatar - guitarist, singer, even anchor !! God bless him

Dedicate this song to my dearest father. R.I.P dad love you always and thank you for everything.

Best of times in music. Sure glad the 60's 70's happened. Rich & Real

that was remarkable, done in the uk in 75...thanks for posting this great recording.

Simply Fabulous!!!

David Gates is one of the best song writers and performers in my opinion. Every word he sings is crystal clear and his songs make sense and have a proper theme. Wonderful and superb artiste.

These two guys are just brilliant funny natural and very very talented great times indeed

Sweet, smooth, mellow, soulful, suave, classy

Pure Talent!!!

OMG!!! How absolutely amazing. So many things to consider. Amazing musicians/songwriters/singers! From what I know, as of today, May 2nd, 2017, David Gates is still with us. Glen, so very sadly, is in the last stages of Alzheimers. What an incredible, and influential artist Glen Campbell was.

Soothing silky voice followed by great deep composition written by gates gives us unique sound and satisfaction 👌 of a truly amazing artist 🎨 masterpiece results 🙌

This guy just poured his heart out on national TV 😞 Any general dude will tell you!

That was one of the most beautiful things I've ever listened to

I've never been able to pick between "Everything I Own" and "Wichita Lineman" on my all-time genre favorites list, so it's very gratifying to see these two greats together. Glen even mentions Jimmy Webb here, and on that old (1977) all-weekend "History of Rock and Roll" radio show, said that Webb actually had worked as a line repairman in Oklahoma. (BTW, Oklahoma very cleverly names its highways after its noteworthy residents, e.g. Will Rogers, Shannon Miller, Garth Brooks, but I haven't seen one for Webb -- I hope he does have one.)

Holy Moly!!! That was awesome! Two of the most delicious, dreamiest voices ever. Thank you!

David Gates was not only a great singer, but a great composer. His love songs are second to none as far as i'm concerned. Just listen to songs like "Diary," "If," and my favorite of his songs, "Aubrey" to hear his tremendous talent. It's hard to believe that this one-time young musician is a ranch cowboy (with his own spread) somewhere in northeastern Washington, and retired now. Glen Campbell is a great guitarist and vocalist. Also seen him in some movies like "True Grit."

Fantastic! Luv every song they sang!

What happened to music? Did technology make everyone lazy? I miss the 70's

I got to meet David Gates here on Salt Spring Island. I worked for him on his property. As well he and his wife Jorita listened to some of my CDs and were very supportive

I just love watching Glen's reactions to David.

What a beautiful voice, man!

Great execution of voice and musical meanings!!!

Two greats on one stage.

Just yes!

Two of the greatest singers of all time sharing the stage. Great days...

Still listening in 2021! And Loving It.

I've had a wonderful time. Thanks for posting.

Amazing love David Gates! Saw him in the 1970's pure class

thank you for posting this.... such beautiful music, sung incredibly by David and Glen....... back when lyrics were lyrics with meaning.... sure do miss those days... loved this...

What a voice!! Miss this..

Look kids, people with actual talent, playing actual instruments, singing without any technological assistance. Nearly 50 years ago, and this is still better than any shit out today.

Unreal Talent.....................OMG wow

Awesome clip. Thanks so much for sharing it. David's voice is amazing.
