David Gates (leader, Bread) : I had produced a small group called The Pleasure Faire. One of the guys in the group was Robb Royer, who was writing with James Griffin as a team.

Then we decided to form a group and look for a deal collectively because we'd do better as a group than independently. That's how Bread started in late '67.
A Bread truck came along right at the time we were trying to think of a name. We had been saying, "How about bush, telephone pole? Ah, Bread truck, Bread." It began with a B, like The Beatles and The Bee Gees. Bread also had a kind of universal appeal. It could be taken a number of ways. Of course, for the entire first year people called us The Breads.
