"Step Out Of Your Mind" #24 7/15/1967

The American Breed landed a contract because of a blizzard. An executive with Mercury Records was stranded in Chicago due to a 20" snowfall and passed the time listening to demo tapes. He liked this local band and signed them. Lead singer Gary Loizzo went on to run his own recording studio, engineering platinum albums by Midwestern groups like Styx and REO Speedwagon. In the 70's, several Breed members formed a new band, hired Chaka Khan and became Rufus.
