After the release of "Guitar Man" in 1972, Bread went on hiatus. Griffin released a solo album, "Breakin' Up Is Easy" on Polydor Records in 1973, credited to 'James Griffin & Co'. Neither the album nor the singles, "Breakin' Up Is Easy," and "She Knows," made the "Billboard" charts. Bread reformed in 1976 for one final album, "Lost Without Your Love". Gates, Botts, and Knechtel continued to record together on Gates's solo albums, and initially toured as 'David Gates & Bread', which led to a lawsuit from Griffin. The dispute was not resolved until 1984. Griffin and Gates put aside their past differences for a Bread reunion tour in 1996–1997 with Botts and Knechtel.
