“Make It with You” (1970) – Bread

[media=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xou2PzPuRu0]

Fifty years ago today, this song reached the top spot on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 singles chart.

It was Bread’s first top-ten hit and was the only song by the American soft rock band to make it to #1.

Oh man! Brings back memories when I’d listen to all these 70’s songs. Platform shoes, polyester & bell bottom pants. Those were the days. 😃😌🤩
marsbar · F
@Rutterman Not my platform shoes! Lol. I loved being 1-1.5” taller at 6 years old in 1976. 😅

Love this song though. It’s so 70’s & peaceful.
Rutterman · 46-50, M
@marsbar Haha. You probably looked adorable in them. 😄

Yes. Very '70s & peaceful. 😎 ✌️ 🎶
marsbar · F
@Rutterman I did 😌😁😊
🤩 That's our song!

Love all Bread 👍😌
@Rutterman I think their license on that old one had expired. If not, then they shouldn't have any issues bringing it bk. 🤞🙄
Rutterman · 46-50, M
@Vivaci Do the licenses on these things expire? That's not something I was aware of.
@Rutterman yeah, usually when you buy these services, some vendors sell it at a fixed price for fixed number of yrs. It's a huge business...same goes for fonts.

Bread is awesome! Both kinds ;) I have their greatest hits.
Rutterman · 46-50, M
@SW-User Agreed. Both kinds are pretty awesome. 😎

When there was actually some class in lyrics. "Make it with you" versus something vulgar. 💓
@Magenta When music was fun and loving. Hi, lovely M! How are you? Sending you love, love, love. :)
Magenta · F

Rutterman · 46-50, M
@SW-User Same. It's such a beautiful song.
HairbrushDiva · 31-35, F
I've heard it before. It's quite pleasant.
HairbrushDiva · 31-35, F
@Rutterman It still gets played on the radio from time to time.
Rutterman · 46-50, M
@HairbrushDiva Yes it does. I occasionally hear it on Easy Listening/Adult Contemporary stations.
HairbrushDiva · 31-35, F
@Rutterman The station I listen to is called Smooth. They do play it on that station now and then.

I might still have the album. Bread was always unmistakable.
Rutterman · 46-50, M
@SW-User Yes. They had a wonderfully distinctive sound. And some of their songs, like "Diary", are rather poignant.
ReneeT · 61-69, F
They did have some great songs.
Rutterman · 46-50, M
@ReneeT Definitely. They were like the kings of soft rock in the early '70s.
ReneeT · 61-69, F
@Rutterman I still enjoy hearing "Guitar Man" and "Mother Freedom". Great guitar work in both of them
ChampagneOnIce · 51-55, F
Can’t believe it was 50 years ago! My dad loved Bread. Takes me back to my childhood.
Rutterman · 46-50, M
@ChampagneOnIce Your dad had great taste in music. I hope the childhood memories the song brings back are happy ones.
ChampagneOnIce · 51-55, F
@Rutterman Thank you. Yes, they are, very much so. 😊
pelman0011 · 56-60, M
My favorite Bread song, with "Baby I'm-a Want You" a fairly close second.
Rutterman · 46-50, M
@pelman0011 That's a good one too.
pelman0011 · 56-60, M
@Rutterman They were really good. They were Air Supply before Air Supply became big.
BalmyNites · F
Amazing lyrics, I love this song ♥️
BalmyNites · F
@Rutterman Hey honey, it’s good to see you too 🤗 It is, I have a whole playlist of 70’s soft rock - it’s great for easy Sunday mornings 😍
Rutterman · 46-50, M
Yes. Perfect for Sunday mornings. 😎
BalmyNites · F
@Rutterman With the smell of toast & coffee & all day spent lounging around the house & enjoying the sounds 😊
Ian123 · 61-69, M
A great song 😀
Rutterman · 46-50, M
@Ian123 Totally agree.
Ian123 · 61-69, M
@Rutterman They should have had more No1s
Rutterman · 46-50, M
@Ian123 Totally agree with that too.
NewBeginnings7790 · 41-45, F

@Rutterman Will I sleep with Many Female Cosplayers & Where Will I Meet Them At
JohnOinger · 41-45, M
@Rutterman How Will I Bring Dead People Back From The Dead & Alive Again Will it be a magic Serum
Rutterman · 46-50, M
@JohnOinger Yes to the first 2 questions.

That's right. You will invent a magic serum that will make this possible.
JohnOinger · 41-45, M
@Rutterman Nice
Five-zero? God, Rutterman, you are making me feel old. And that isn't good! LOL. I lovvvvvvvvve that song and that group. A blast from the past, indeed. The only one you say? Damn, they were overlooked, clearly!
Rutterman · 46-50, M
@PoetryNEmotion lol. Certainly not my intention to make anyone feel old. Feeling nostalgic is more what I'm aiming for. 😄

They did have multiple hits that were in the top-ten. But for whatever reason, this is the only one of theirs that made it to #1.
