August 22, 1970 –
Bread’s single Make It With You from their album, On the Waters, went to No. 1 on the Billboard Charts on this date.
Released on their second album, this was the first hit for Bread, although David Gates had some previous success as a songwriter, including the #3 hit on the US Charts, Popsicles And Icicles in 1964 for the female trio The Murmaids. They followed it up by rereleasing a song from the previous year, It Don’t Matter To Me, which reached #10. Their most successful songs were more light favorites: If and Baby I’m-A Want You.
