They first met on the grade school playground in 1984, and quickly bonded over their fondness for contemporary pop music and their realization that they were both wise beyond their years when it came to their knowledge of music. Now, more than three decades later and living on opposite coasts (Chris lives in the Pacific Northwest, Jon in Southern New England), these two pals take a nostalgic look back and discuss some of their favorite music ever recorded.

As the lead singer and principal songwriter of the pioneering 1970s soft rock group, Bread, David Gates was one of the decade's most successful and accomplished songsmiths. Releasing six studio albums in their less than a decade together, Bread had more than a dozen hit singles (five of which peaked in the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 between 1970 and 1976), and over the years, Gates' songs have been covered by everyone from Frank Sinatra to Hootie & the Blowfish.
David Gates will celebrate his 80th birthday on December 11th, and in honor of this very special occasion, Jon and Chris take a sentimental look back at the songs of this groundbreaking, brilliant, and often unsung hero of soft rock.
