Product Description
Manna From Heaven is the very first biography of this magnificent gathering of musical talents, a collective known as Bread, that gave us such timeless hits as 'Make It With You', 'Everything I Own', 'If' and 'The Guitar Man'. This is their story.

Researched in detail, including exclusive interviews with founding member Robb Royer, along with friends, family and former musical associates of the band, Manna From Heaven reveals the story behind the band members' formative years, their coming together, the rise of Bread, and the subsequent break-up and the messy lawsuits that were to dog the band in later years. Also featured are exclusive insights into their successful 1990s reunion, undertaken a few years before the sad passing of Jimmy Griffin, followed shortly afterwards by both Botts and Knechtel.

Wow, I didn't realize that so many in "Bread" have passed. I knew about Larry Knechtel and Jimmy Griffin. Is David Gates the only survivor? I like to get this book in that I have all their albums but hardly know anything about these guys.

It's still pre-orderable from Amazon UK ...

... but the publication date has been pushed back. I expect there'll be a new Amazon USA listing for the book soon.
