Baby I'm-a Want You is the fourth albumbyBread, released in 1972. Its singles included the title cut (which reached No. 3 on the Billboard Top 100), "Everything I Own" (No. 5), "Mother Freedom" (No. 37), and "Diary" (No. 15). The album was certified Gold by the RIAA in March 1972.[3] This was the first Bread album to feature keyboard player Larry Knechtel.
