sounds good but the people need to shut the FUCK up!!! that's all : )

[ronfowlermusic]

Great version, and in the original key! David Gates had dropped it down a whole step by this time, but James's voice had lost nothing to age.

[BeachBoysGuy1]

Judging by the yelling beerheads in the audience, I guess all US rednecks are not l located in the south.

this is so great.. so just great are great..amen

[georgebur]

What a wonderful musician is James Griffin.  In a nice little trio here too. Full marks!

[SPINGOREB]

Looks like Jimmy is playing without a capo on the usual 5th or 7th fret for this song - I bet he's playing A, E D.

@anjoaoclaudio ei desculpe a fauta de imformação ams o david gates nao está ai nessa filmagem neh?

Jimmy is interesting because he was really Bread's country singer. I like his version of "It Don't Matter to Me" because I think of it as Bread's "Glen Campbell song" -- if you played that and "Wichita Lineman" back to back they would sound like the same writer wrote both. A good country singer sounds like he has the dust of the road in his voice. James has a little of that, it's kind of a country-pop voice, cleaned up a bit, but the gravel is still in his tenor. Nice harnomies here. Thanx!

[k1fjh]

If you like the country bent, listen to Bread do "Make It By Yourself" - it's a great song that has definite country overtones.

[gateslover]

This is just a copy - even of David's arrangement of his song. Jimmy had a good voice, but there is no emotion in his rendering. David's is far superior.

[k1fjh]

They were always best together.

[LiteOfYourMind]

Perhaps that is true of this particular rendering, but Jimmy was capable of just as much or more emotion than Gates. I doubt that this casual version, in this setting, was intended to compete with the fully arranged, emotional original.

[womanbread]

Couldn't agree with you more on this, LiteOfYourMind. Jimmy had an amazing, soulful and tender side to his vocals. David's voice was excellent - that goes without saying, of course. But Jimmy's voice was equally so, just a bit deeper, a tad less syrupy, but definitely, without question, equally as emotive and evocative, stirring and soulful.

@gateslover - bull s---

[Barbeenie]

Although I'm a huge Bread fan I have The Remingtons' recording of this song & actually like it better than Bread's. With Jimmy singing the lead, who wouldn't? He's was & will always be my main Bread man :-) Thanks k1fjh for posting all your videos from The Remingtons' concert, I love hearing their beautiful harmonies & wish I could have been there in person.

[Paducahdy]

Jimmy had such a beautiful voice. He sings so much better than Gates ever could or ever will.

[k1fjh]

I love his versions on the CD he did of the Bread songs, which were mostly sung by David. He had great range and I always called him the "fire and ice" vocalist - he could do ballads or rockers with equal passion.

Thanks for the comment!

[mkcwebmaster]

@Paducahdy - I totally agree with you. The evidence is there, when you listen to the various Bread songs Gates is great don't get me wrong, but Griffins singing is absolute perfection.

[TAXENGINEER]

RIP Jimmy Griffin you were the guitarman of Bread.

[chriscrimson98]

I meant to say THANKS for putting it up...:)

[chriscrimson98]

I read once that Griffin doing this song was an attempt to reconnect with Gates when they had become estranged..I've been looking for this version of the song for a long time..THANKS

[k1fjh]

Hi -

I think Jimmy showed David the respect that he would wish for - their harmonies were great together - the sum being greater than the individual parts.

Thanks!
