Gary and the Knight Lites - I'm Coming Home - Acetate 1966/7 ? - Chicago group, AKA The Light Nites with a single on Dunwich (listed in Fuzz, Acid & Flowers) ... info from there:
"This outfit formed in in 1965 and were originally known as Gary And The Night Lights, and also worked as The Knight Lites. Like The Del-Vetts, they had previously worked with Bill Traut cutting two low-budget jukebox singles for Seeburg. After a brief move to U.S.A. where they released an underrated soulful ballad, I Don't Need Your Help, in late 1965, they appeared under dubious arrangement on Dunwich. After recording one single as The Light Nites they signed to Acta and changed their name to The American Breed."

Oliver Morgan - Who Shot the Lala - New Orleans r'n'b from around 1961 on GNP Crescendo records.
