Out of the 1960s Chicago sound that spawned The Buckinghams, The New Colony Six, The Shadows of Knight, and The Cryan' Shames, came The American Breed, a very popular band on the Chicago club scene.
Formed in 1966 in Cicero, Illinois, the Breed first saw life as Gary and the Knight Lites. Gary Loizzo was their vocalist, Al Ciner played guitar, Lee Graziano was the drummer, and Chuck Colbert played bass.
While with Acta Records, the group cut several singles which failed to chart well beyond the Chicago area. It wasn't until their fourth single, "Bend Me, Shape Me" that their music took off. The song climbed as high as #5 nationally in early 1968 and that success led to appearances on American Bandstand and other national TV programs.....David Galassie
