Jimmy Griffin of Bread "All My Loving" 1964 Jerry Cole Glen Hardin Beatles

Before forming Bread with David Gates and Robb Royer, James Griffin had spent years as a striving solo artist and songwriter. His career began when he moved to Hollywood in July 1962 after graduating high school. He went in search of his Memphis neighbors, Dorsey and Johnny Burnette. Finding them and playing some recordings that he'd made got him signed to Frank Sinatra's Reprise label, where he worked with producer Steve Venet briefly. Steve left when Reprise was in financial turmoil and Jimmy Bowen stepped in as producer, keeping the young Griffin on the label's roster when 75% were let go. In spring 1963 Bowen held sessions for Jimmy's album Summer Holiday, using Jack Nitzsche as the arranger. Subsequent sessions were held for songs released only on singles, with some aimed at the recent influx of British artists on the charts in America. Among them, two were recorded during a February 24, 1964 session at Nashville West Studio in Hollywood with guitarist Jerry Cole as leader and arrangements by Bowen. With him were his friends Glen Kastner on bass, Glen Hardin on keyboards, Tom Gebheim on drums, and Virgil Evans on trumpet. One of the two songs they recorded was a cover of the Beatles' "All My Loving," which The Beatles had recorded in July 1963 and used as their opening number for their February 9 set on The Ed Sullivan Show just twelve days before Jerry Cole led the session for Jimmy’s record. It was on the Beatles second UK album With The Beatles and on their premiere US album Meet The Beatles, and also on a Capitol single released in Canada and purchased enough by fans along the northern border of the US for the Beatles single to make it to number 45 on Billboard's charts by April 1964. The other song recorded for Jimmy during that February session was "Running To You," a song written by Mark Anthony (a name used by Tony Hatch who wrote most of Petula Clark's hits). "Running To You" had been recorded by twenty-year-old English singer Mark Wynter in summer 1963 for Pye Records. These two didn’t, but several songs recorded by Jimmy Griffin had Tulsa buddies David Gates and Leon Russell among the session participants.
