Ken Boothe - Everything I Own (Official Audio)

Official audio for Ken Boothe’s chart-topping version of Bread’s pop hit, ’Everything I Own’ . The song was written by David Gates in memory of his father who passed away in 1963 before the singer-songwriter’s success with Bread. Gates later recollected that the song’s title originated from a time when he had very few possessions, but sent his mother an orchid for her birthday, an act that so moved her that his father told him that he could have had “anything she owned“ in return of the gift. Boothe’s version made number 1 in the UK charts on 26 October 1974, staying at the position for three weeks, ultimately spending a total of 12 weeks in the national Top 50.
