Additional information
Bread's fourth album, 1972's BABY I'M-A WANT YOU, is the band's commercial high point and one of its finest albums. Besides the title track, inescapable on AM radio that year and which has taken up permanent residence on the playlists of soft rock radio stations in the decades ever since, BABY I'M-A WANT YOU contains two other big chart hits, "Diary" and the oft-covered "Everything I Own," which may well be Bread's best single ever. Besides those three David Gates-penned gems, the album includes nine other soft rock favorites, including James Griffin's atypically humorous "That Isn't What the Governmeant" and the unusually straightforward "I Don't Love You" alongside more standard Bread fare such as "Daughter" and the lovely, crystalline "Dream Lady." For the Bread neophyte, BABY I'M-A WANT YOU is probably the best starting point of their original studio albums .
