I already mentioned (a few items below this) that today is the 45th anniversary of that 1967 blizzard in Chicago. What I didn't realize, until I read Bob Dearborn's The Olde Disc Jockey's Almanac, was that the blizzard is responsible for something else...
January 26, 1967…The American Breed was signed by ACTA Records after the label president saw them perform while he was stuck in Chicago during a blizzard.
Remember the American Breed? They had one hit, but it was a big one. Check out the drummer in this video. I've seen bad lip-synching before, but never such atrocious fake drumming. He's not even coming close to the drum kit.
