    Mark Farner.... Bass guitar (early), drums (Black Brass song), keyboards (before Craig Frost joined), Lead Guitar, Incredible Lead vocals and writer of 90% of the GFR material. One of the most talented front men to ever walk onto a stage in the history of music. What a talent and still touring to this day...

    You're not finished with Grand Funk my friend. This was probably their biggest hit released in about 1973. I remember it being played constantly on the radio. You've probably heard their other number one hit "Locamotion". I also remember "I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home)" and "Some Kind of Wonderful" which I really got into as a young guy.
    As a band, they were terribly underrated in the late 60's and early 70's. I'm sure there are others songs that I just can't remember right now. I think you will like all of the ones I listed.
    I always felt like these guys were like a garage band that always played with the intensity of guys that just liked making music. Almost like they didn't care if they had an audience or not. That's what I liked about many bands in that era. I know they really worked hard for commercial success and it's great that they found it.

      The title “Some Kind Of Wonderful” sound super familiar… going to add it to the playlist! I like that description of a “garage band.” Feel wise they remind of a more modern band like “Green Day” …another garage band that just enjoyed making music. I truly appreciate the insight, info, and your taking the time to watch Keith! 🙏🏾

    Hey brother, great band. Through the years, they were usually a three-piece without keys. The drummer Don Brewer did sing great and played full on, but the guitarist Mark Farner is their lead singer. I recommend "Inside Looking Out". There is a cool live version of this on RUclips. Thank you and much love.

    That video was made in a different time and a different world. 1973 I think. We pulled out of Vietnam in 1975 and they called off the draft . The same year I turned 18. Thank God. Those were some good years as I remember. I'd hop into my 1965 Oldsmobile Jetstar 1 , light up a number and head off down the road,. my long hair blowing in the wind. Good music and good times. Sorry for gettin all nostalgic. The Grand Funk red album was the first one I ever bought with my own money. Oh, by the way, Mark Farner"s guitar,( the one with tape on it in the inside looking out.video}, is in the rock and roll hall of fame. The group never made it.

    their original drummer/vocalist, Don Brewer, and original bassist, Mel Schacher. But they added Max Carl as lead vocalist… he used to be in 38 Special… and the keyboardist used to tour with Robert Palmer and I think a little with Bob Segar. They sounded great! It was a last minute decision to go and best decision of the day!

    I've just jumped on your bandwagon and subscribed because I like the cut of your jib. Don't do anymore Grand Funk for a while (except maybe Some Kind of Wonderful) because there are just too many better bands and songs you probably haven't heard yet and there's simply not enough time left in your lifetime to react to them all. The drum intro to this jam, though? Yeah. It's iconic.
