18. Make It With You (Bread)

Released on their second album, this was Bread's breakthrough hit. When group leader David Gates (who wrote the song) returned home to Tulsa, Oklahoma, where his mother was throwing a big reception party to celebrate the return of the young chart-conquering hero, the newspaper, television and radio press turned up, hoping to play up the whole "Local Boy Does Good" PR angle. In a widely circulated interview, Mrs. Gates proudly told the world just how pleased as punch she was with her son's recent success. She then also told them - in complete candor - that she just couldn't understand why he had to call his new hit record, "Naked With You."

Other artists to record this song include Earth, Wind & Fire, Aretha Franklin and Teddy Pendergrass.
