Everything I Own

Classic Bread song sung by Jimmy Griffin while not a member of Bread, but rather a member of The Remingtons. I filmed this video at their June 27, 1992 concert in Bloomfield, CT. The other members are Rick Yancey and Richard Mainegra.

You said it!! :)

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!

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

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.

They were always best together.

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.

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

[722erodz]

[MrDavearama]

@gateslover - bull s---

[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.

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

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.

@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.

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.
