Pop Music (215) Artists- 1 of 23 Genres

Pop music is a genre of popular music that originated in its modern form during the mid-1950s in the United States and the United Kingdom. …pop music remained roughly synonymous with Rock and Roll music until the late 1960s, after which pop became associated with music that was more commercial, ephemeral, and accessible. It originated with the ragtime music of the 1890s and early 1900s.

The American Breed (1962-1970) was formed in Cicero, Illinois, United States, as Gary & The Knight Lites. The founding members included Gary Loizzo (vocals and guitar), Charles “Chuck” Colbert, Jr. (bass guitar and vocals), Al Ciner (guitar and vocals), and Jim Michalak (drums). Early releases included- “I’m Glad She’s Mine,” “I Don’t Need Your Help,” “Will You Go Steady,” “Take Me Back,” among others. The group’s greatest success as “The American Breed” was the single, “Bend Me, Shape Me” (https://youtu.be/PSHo146tQjQ) (RQ 10) which reached number five on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1968. The song, written by Scott English and Larry Weiss, had previously been recorded by an all-female band known as the Shape and had been a hit on the UK Singles Chart for the British group Amen Corner. It had also been recorded by The Outsiders after they had reached the top ten with “Time Won’t Let Me” in 1966. Contributing to the success of the American Breed’s version of “Bend Me, Shape Me” was the excellent arrangement of the song by the band’s record producer, Bill Traut, who added horns among other changes. The group also appeared on the 16 December 1967 episode of the television show American Bandstand, along with Pink Floyd. On January 20, 1967, a freak snow storm that dumped twenty inches on Chicago changed the group’s fate when Kenny Myers, former Senior Vice President of Mercury Records, found himself stranded and met with Producer Bill Traut in his studio at Universal Recording. After Traut played Meyers some of the band’s tapes, Meyers was impressed enough to sign them to his new record label, Acta (a subsidiary of Dot Records, itself owned by Paramount Pictures, whose record holdings later evolved into the Famous Music Group) and suggested they change their name. “They told us Gary and the Knight Lites sounded a little dated”, Loizzo told Chicago Tribune in 1994. “So we put a bunch of names in a hat and pulled out American Breed”. The band’s first single was “Ï Don’t Think You Know Me”, written by Carole King and Gerry Goffin. The band enjoyed its greatest success in 1967 and 1968. They released five singles that reached the charts, including “Step Out Of Your Mind”, “Green Light”, and “Bend Me, Shape Me”, the last of which was their biggest seller, selling over one million copies and awarded a gold disc. The track also peaked at #24 in the UK Singles Chart. The success of “Step Out of Your Mind” allowed the group, originally signed for singles, to make albums and quit their daytime gigs to pursue music full-time. The band also found themselves in high demand in the lucrative radio jingles market, recording commercials for Coca-Cola, the United States Navy, and Bell Telephone, among others. Their television commercial for American Airlines (“Fly the American Way”) was also a big success in the top twenty TV markets and their songs were also featured on the soundtrack to the films No Way to Treat a Lady (1968) and The Brain(1969). In 1968, the band appeared three times on American Bandstand and later that same year, Kevin Murphy joined as keyboardist and the band briefly altered the name to “THE American BREED” before shortening to “The Breed”. Their next single, “Keep the Faith”, failed to make the charts and singer Paulette McWilliams was added in 1969 in a move towards a more R&B funk sound on their next single “Hunky Funky”, which “bubbled under” at #107. But the band was for all intents and purposes finished by then, though Loizzo briefly tried to keep the name afloat in 1970 with one last single, “Can’t Make it Without You”, which went nowhere. Loizzo went on to open his own recording studio, “Pumpkin”, where he worked on producing commercials and other groups, eventually receiving a Grammy nomination for his work with Styx. Colbert, Graziano, McWilliams, and Murphy (after a brief stint in the military) regrouped as “Smoke” and then “Äsk Rufus” (the name soon abbreviated to Rufus). McWilliams was later replaced by Chaka Khan and the band later scored their first Top 10 hit under the Rufus name with “Tell Me Something Good” in 1974.
