It's Got To Be Somethin'

A 2 track funk single (4m 49s) — released May 13th 2013 on Tramp Records

Although singer/guitarist/songwriter Aalon Butler is far from a major name in either soul or rock, serious connoisseurs of soul music remember him for four recordings released on the independent PKC label out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Butler was the lead singer of the New Breed Band with which he released two outstanding 45rpm singles. Their first release (It's Got To Be Something b/w Please Give Me A Chance) is a favorite in Northern Soul circles while their second release (Gettin Soul Pt.1 b/w Pt.2) has become a Deep-Funk anthem over the years. In 1969 the New Breed Band changed their name to A Different Bag and moved to Los Angeles, California, after a short stint in Memphis, Tennessee. They kept releasing 45s under their new name until they split up in around 1977. Key-selling points: limited to 300 copies, original label artwork, officially licensed
