Let's make this birthday one to remember.

85 years old (Born on December 11, 1940)

Happy Birthday, David Gates! May your day be softer than Bread’s timeless hits and gentler than the melodies you've penned. From "Make It With You" to "If," you have given us songs that transformed cozy evenings into magical memories—proof you're still cooking up musical happiness all these years later.

Remembering those smooth vocals on stage makes birthdays feel easier—you’re certainly showing age is just a number (probably related to chord progressions)! Wishing you another year filled with lyrics as sweet as ever, abundant laughter, and countless reasons for fans across generations to keep humming along cheerfully. Cheers!
