Success soon followed. His composition "Popsicles and Icicles" hit No. 3 on the US Hot 100 for The Murmaids in January 1964. The Monkees recorded another of his songs, "Saturday's Child". By the end of the 1960s, he had worked with many leading artists, including Elvis Presley, Bobby Darin, Merle Haggard, Duane Eddy and Brian Wilson. Bread's first album was released in 1969. The band's hit singles included 'Make It with You', It don't matter to me', 'If', 'Baby I'm-a want you', 'Everything I Own', 'Diary', 'Aubrey', 'The guitar man', 'Sweet surrender'. Gates had solo success with singles including 'Part time love', 'Goodbye girl' and 'Never let her go'. In this excerpt he talks about leaving Tulsa, Oklahoma to try his luck in Los Angeles.
