In 1967, if you listened to the radio, you probably heard The American Breed's version of “Bend Me, Shape Me.” The song went to number five on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1968.
The group appeared on the December 16, 1967 episode of the television show American Bandstand, along with Pink Floyd. The band hailed from Cicero, Illinois and was made up of original members Gary Loizzo on vocals, Charles Colbert, Jr. on bass guitar, Al Ciner on guitar, and Lee Graziano on drums.
The Marian Catholic Marching Band was honored to host Lee Graziano as a special guest and dedicated their performance at Friday’s halftime show to him and all those who appreciate the music of the 60’s.
