Grand Funk Railroad is a great American rock band from the 70's. "I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home)" is one of my favorites. But they had a lot of great hits such as "Some Kind Of Wonderful", "We're An American Band", "The Loco-Motion", "Walk Like A Man", "Shinin' On", "Bad Time" etc.

GFR is the first "Arena Rock" band and were selling out Stadium tickets faster than the Beatles !! "Mis -management", finally did the band in. They were bilked, by their Manager. (an old friend) !!

During his seven-year tenure with the original Grand Funk Railroad, Mark Farner turned out an astonishing number of original songs, writing the lion share of material for the group's 10 studio albums. Here's another song "Grand Funk Railroad - I'm You're Captain - Shea Stadium 1971" and Here's another band, if interested "Atlantic Rythm Section - Imaginary Lover - HQ" this is another harmony band... beautiful R&B, soul🔥💖🤗✨🤗🎶

Useless factoid : The band "Grand Funk Railroad" got their name from a Canadian railway company called the Grand Trunk Railway system. The company started in eastern Canada in the late 1800s and eventually extended down into the U.S. into Maine, Michigan and even down to Chicago. The Canadian portion of the company went out of business when Canada nationalized their railroads in, I think, 1923. But some of the small American portions of the company kept operating well into the mid-1900s. So, when a little rock'n'roll band out of Michigan in the 1960s went looking for a band name, they saw the still operating Grand Trunk Railway, and turned it into the infamous "Grand Funk Railroad". Grooovy . . . .

They were only 20-years-old! This was their first year together, too. Lead guitarist and singer Mark Farner was "relearning the guitar," which he hadn't played in a year-and-a-half. And he only learned how to play at age 15. And get a load of this: He's still performing! Don Brewer on drums also sang lead sometimes. Within three years, this garage band sold out Shea Stadium in seven days. It had taken the Beatles seven weeks to sell out a few years earlier! They were a shooting star, for sure, and broke up in 1976. The next year, Mark Farner woke up and wrote "I'm your Captain" during the height of Vietnam. Here's their legendary performance at Shea Stadium in 1971: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d8WkaJyF1J23np8.html

Saw these guys play live several times in LA back in the day--and there was no way you could sit still even if you wanted to. Superb performers from start to finish!

Grand Funk had a #1 hit "Some Kind Of Wonderful" which hit #1 on the pop charts. In the 90's the lead singer had the same song with a change up of words, hit #1 on the gospel charts.

Hard to believe they were barely out of high school 2 years when this performance was recorded.

Welcome to my world !! I'm an old woman now but it's great to hear my music again and thanks for bringing up a 'blast from the past '.

Christmas of 1970 my girlfriend and I exchanged gifts at her house. We each had bought Grand Funk "On Time", for each other. Was planned. There was Lots of Heavy Rock in the 70's. Will never be a Rock decade like it. 🤟🏼💃🤟🏼

They put on one hell of a live concert and I saw them in the early seventies and Mark Farner was getting really comfortable on stage and he just floated across the stage from side to side, it was awesome because they were the band that got me playing guitar again.
