Yep. There is a song called a different world and it is sung by a guy named Bucky who was on American idol a few years ago and I got to tell you for a young guy he must have questioned every grandparent in the neighborhood of how it used to be because he talked about drinking water from a garden hose and your friends came over to play you played outside families went to church on Sundays stores were closed on sundays. Trust me, that song will hit home with you
Back in I'd say maybe the mid-70s I was sitting listening to my radio and the DJ said we're going to play Grand funk singing this song 10 times in a row and I sat there the whole time listening to those 10 times and loved every minute of it. Congrats to that DJ
I truely believe, Grand Funk Railroad is vastly underestimated and underappreciated They deserve more credit in every aspect. Still love their music and work after almost 50 years.
I have been married 32 years and we played this at our wedding reception and strolled into TWO OTHER events at the venue we had the reception….. collected about 20 additional guests and brought them back to our reception…… in Detroit no less and turned the LIGHTS OUT IN THAT PLACE !!!!!!!!! Can’t remember cutting the cake !!!! ✨❤️✨🥹🥹
They were like a Black group. Could sing, costumes, girl backup singers. Rare Earth and Righteous Brothers same genre. This should have been Elvis in the 70s. He was the ultimate of blue eyed soul
@@antoniodarosamartinez83 The world is neither good nor bad. Rather, it is you and me and those around us who create good or bad or whatever else. And when I heard that song back in the 70s and when I heard it again today, I only feel GOOD!
I came back on a hospital flight from Nam, I was shot up all broken in peaces from chopper crash coming in on a hot L,Z, hamburger hill ,Then nurse and I where talk I asked if I could ever play my drums again ,She took a tape to the pilot and he put on Grand Funk Railroad , Getting closer to my home, I cried my heart out ,, I lived , I am Music,,////God Bless America And ya'll
Someone already posted this but Grand Funk doesn't need the R&R Hall of Fame. They have the love of their true fans, their #1 hits, their awesome stage performances that blew away huge Brit bands, Mark was a playin, singin, dancin Rock God. We have our awesome 70s memories. Thanks to everyone who posts this great American music. 🎶🎶
Grand Funk!! Man, I haven't thought about these guys for a long time!! I was in the 8th grade, going into the 9th, when this song came out!! They used to play it on like a record player at our school dances. Along with Time in a Bottle, Seasons in the Sun, Sunshine on my Shoulders, Midnight at the Oasis, etc. I would religiously listen to Casey Kason every Sunday afternoon on my little transistor radio, singing right along! That brings back some great memories!! 💕
I liked this the first time I heard it back in'74 and it still rocks me today. Man, I wish they would get back together and tour just one more time for the rest of us.
The enthusiasm of the white chick singing back up is awesome!! She is so into it it gives me goosebumps every time I watch this clip. Great stuff!!!!!!!!!!
I was very young when this song came out. He was strutting around I bet he had alot of groupies after his concerts?!! After his sons death he still has it together. God bless his wife and him! He was hot and still is..
Ya gotta love the 70's ...right?! One of my fave 70's bands and had a big ol poster of Mark Farner in my room! My fave cover of Little Eva's The Locomotion!
I'm just a Japanese 66 years old man. Since the end of the 2nd World war, about 12 years later, the songs of Elvis, Pat, Paul, and Ricky had landed in Japan. After 5 years from Elvis Presley, we Japanese had experienced the coming of Little Eva, J. Tillotson, Cascades, Ronettes and Lesley Gore. By the way,I am understanding the delicate relations of the stories that 「It's my party」 and 「Judy's turn to cry」 which were sung by Gore. Anyway, I've been loving Little Eva's Locomotion which includes lovely dance. But now, I must confess that I was extremely surprised to hear「 Locomotion」 of Grand Funk Railroad. Too marvelous!
Tommy Ireland Thank you for your polite comment. Detroit reminds me of Motown sound. I wasn't interested in it except Supremes before. But several months ago, at youtube, I was suddenly enchanted by a certain song and its slow groovy dance. The title of that song is "My girl" sung by Temptations. I live at Kawagoe city where is 20 miles from Tokyo. And this old city makes feel the atmosphere of "Edo era" in which Samurai ruled. M Takahashi
高橋正博 I'm just 62 years young but you got good taste in Motown Soul I grew up with Check out Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson ,Smokey Robinson , Gene McDaniels Lots more I Love the Old time Soul Music Grand Funk also from MI. covered alot of Motown as well as Mark Farner doing his own GREAT Band Nice Chatting with you my brother ! Happy Festvial tomorrow and sunday !
Tommy Ireland I hardly knew Marvin Gaye. therefore, According to your recommendation, I've heard "what's going on" which he sang. So, I could feel a kind of emotional soul. I think he is one of great singers like Johnny Mathis. Nowadays, I often listen to Neil Young, James Taylor,Linda Ronstadt . Above all, the LP record like 「Harvest」 always strikes my heart. I like old LP records than CDs. Well, Would you mind to enter the next words into RUclips's frame for searching? 「AKB48」 「fortune」 「cookie」. You'll run into present Japanese hit song titled 「Fortune cookie in love」. This seems to be receiving a little the influence of the joyful innocent slow dance of 「 Little Eva 」or「Temptations」. Please inform this to your granddaughter or other children. M Takahashi
高橋正博 Thank you Mr. M Takahashi for your Kind comment Gaye wrote the song upon his brother returning from the vietnam war i will check out your suggestions
Every time I see Mark, I razz him a bit about those days. But all in good fun. He's still great these days though. He hasn't lost his voice, and still puts his heart and soul into what he does best. Thanks for being a friend Mark.
@@mach5895 this song was done by a cover artist in the 80s she did it to a disco dance type beat.she sang it good but I still like the original version.rock is my favorite to this day.take good care
@Colette Lavoie I believe this is the only song to ever reach #1 by three different artists. This rock n’ roll version by GFR version came out when I was in 8th grade. The radio stations played it seemingly every hour and I couldn’t get enough of it. Still one of my all-time favorites to this day.
Never realised that Grand Funk Railroad cashed in on the "Glam Rock" look when this song was on the charts. Loved it back then. Fucking love still now. Best version of the song IMO.
1974, I was a senior in high school. Saw them on this tour. Was my first concert to see. I do remember them opening this song with the locomotive on the big screen. Live at LSU in Baton Rouge. That was a show...and I'm still listening in 2019 and will continue to listen.
From Little Eva to Kylie Minogue to Grand Funk Railroad to Atomic Kitten, this song, no matter who does and interprets it their way, it's almost impossible to mess up. And GFR does it up right!
I just love the fact that it is a live performance. No lip sync, no pre-recorded back track, hell they even have the pre-requisite girl charging Mark Farmer.
Who is still listening and LOVING this in 2024?!!! If not you should be!!! One of the absolute best versions of this song I have EVER heard!
I am
Of course
Me! Although the video cut off before the song was finished!
This is the FOGHAT we all know and love
love em stilll,,,,miss that kind of music
God take me back to the 70's. Happiness plus.

They were a hard rock band that went pop.
Underrated?
Not by nor my friends. 65 and still rocking.
We're an American American Band..one of the first I bought
@@LoneLee2022 what pop album did they produce.
@@swhip897 All the girls in the world for one.................
The best ones often are.
Dug this in 74 ! Still diggin it in 2021 !! 😘🙏💜✌
2024
Love love love this song. Because it even makes me happy when I'm feeling blue.
Makes me get up to sing and dance! 😁
best two decades of rock n roll 60's 70's
right it was the best generation to have grown up in I'm so glad I was
I'm 70 now, still Rock n Roll!!!!!!!! Till ☠️💀☠️🖤!!!!!!!!! Hell Yeah!!!!!!! GrandFunk!!!!! Seen them in Concert, Tulsa
The lead singer is the greatest dad he took care of his son till the day he passed. God bless his wife and him!

Good party! Party on!
Hell yeah you did!
When Motown meets rock….great, love from the UK.
One of my favorite songs of all time. Every time it comes on the radio, I gotta stop and just boogie for a minute. Thanks, Grand Funk!
Great song for dancing!
You aren't alone. I'm always disappointed when the DJ doesn't have this. SAD!
I agree with all you folks like I've said before first time I seen them live with that freedom freedom freedom Hall Louisville Kentucky 19 73
They were like a Black group. Could sing, costumes, girl backup singers. Rare Earth and Righteous Brothers same genre. This should have been Elvis in the 70s. He was the ultimate of blue eyed soul
Listen again
It´s impossible listen to this music and still believing that the world is a bad place to live. This song is a anthem of happiness!
Yeah I hear that
Right On!
@@antoniodarosamartinez83 The world is neither good nor bad. Rather, it is you and me and those around us who create good or bad or whatever else. And when I heard that song back in the 70s and when I heard it again today, I only feel GOOD!
PROUD to be number 70 with the "like" button! I was 12 when this was released...still have the original 45 record in my stash! ;-)
It's impossible to believe that these guys are not in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame.
I never get tired of this type of music and this version is just right. Bring it on back.
It's Aaaawesome
Too cool for school. Loved you in the 70's and still today. Tks for being so great and the memories!!

Ted Bell, Thank you sir.
LMAO when saw what the drummer and bass player are wearing........only in the '70's. Great video, live performance and sound. A+
60's and 70's had the best songs of ANY era!!!!

One of the Greatest Bands ever, especially LIVE! Shoulda been in RRHOF YEARS AGO!
Listen to the talent of these three guys unbelievable and yet they're not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame what a shame so much good music

Grand Funk Railroad was then and still is my favorite
They were the heaviest metal band in their time yet very relevant musically
I saw Grand Funk in Tulsa OK. Early 70,s. Awesome!! Era. I'm 67 and still Rock n Roll!! Till I Die. Have Drink on me
Mark, Don, and Mel. Probably one of the greatest arena bands ever !
I liked this the first time I heard it back in'74 and it still rocks me today. Man, I wish they would get back together and tour just one more time for the rest of us.
+Pecos45 No. enough senior tours on the go and its just not right. stick with the memories.
We used to charter a bus and go all over Michigan to hear Mark & his brother Rick & their band in the 90s.
They are on tour opening for Kid Rock this summer 2022! Hope they can still sing, I was about 8 when this came out. 😂😂
@@terriunderwoodmeredith2452
Grand Funk or Mark Farner?
@@willo8794 Grand Funk for part of his tour and Foreigner for the rest. Sorry I just seen this comment.
Let's not forget the backup singers... they were great!
Impossible to stay still! Love this song! Brazil 🇧🇷
i admire Mark's guitar playing, live he makes it look effortless but sounds as good as his studio chops
met Mark many years ago. He was one of the nicest men and so polite I couldn't believe it.❤
Now this is definitely a skating rink song...
Loved those days....
LOL
Ha! Exactly!
These guys were awesome when I was a kid and they still rock on tour today.
Love Donna and Ella on backing vocals...they are killing it here.
Me too. Are they with Grand Funk or Wet Willie? Thanks.
@@lleblarry with Wet Willie
They are rocking with the band
What a great song. Thank you Carol and Gerry and of course "Little Eva," their baby sitter who made it a #1 hit in 1962.
I'm 19 and I love love love GFR,, especially Mark Farner!!🔥🔥🥰💋
とても懐かしい❗
The enthusiasm of the white chick singing back up is awesome!! She is so into it it gives me goosebumps every time I watch this clip. Great stuff!!!!!!!!!!
Agree, that's how you do it!
Intense is not enough of a strong word. She's great!
Both are in Wet Willie
She is Rocking Out!
there's so much to love in this video...
I'm 64..and this a Classic by far.👍🏻✌👍🏻✌👍🏻✌
イヤー素晴らしい！ 60年代のロック！ 乗りますねーＧＦＲ！ レコードよりライブの素晴らしさに驚きました！ヴォーカルもバックコーラスも声が良くて最高にハモッテいます！ もうこの様なライブは観られませんね！ 寂しい時代に成りました！
Nací en 1965, mas me encanto siempre, crecí escuchando esta musica maravillosa!!! Mis monstruos del rock!!!
I love the chick on the mic singing the background chorus. She is singing her heart out.
The white chick, Donna Hall, also had a baby with Mark Farner
She is really feelin it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Funny style!
Oh, my god, she's Sigourney Weaver!
I close my eyes and I'm roller skating in 1975 again....
I am, from Russia. Listening this song from 1976 till this time❤❤❤
I just love the backup singers & the drummer is giving all that he’s got. So bloody cool
Mark one of the best front men ever...
Luv how Mark moves his hips in this one 🙂❤ These guys should've been in the R&R HofF a LONG time ago!! Greatest band ever!! 🙂🙂☮☮✌✌💕💕
I was very young when this song came out. He was strutting around I bet he had alot of groupies after his concerts?!! After his sons death he still has it together. God bless his wife and him! He was hot and still is..

I've never seen this version before today, I feel cheated somehow that I haven't. This is by far Grand Funk's best version of Loco-motion!
I've actually heard better,but this is as good as it gets 2nd place
i simply love... love this song... over and over again!!!
awesome band, my dad still listening to them, this one is one of my favorite.
Never realised that Grand Funk Railroad cashed in on the "Glam Rock" look when this song was on the charts. Loved it back then. Fucking love still now. Best version of the song IMO.
Mark Farner - FABULOUS PIPES, get down guitar!
Lots of great songs from this great band,brings back looootttttsssss of good memories!!,
Sometimes I wish I was born in the 50's... So I could hear all of the good old music right on radio...

Saw these guys back in 77", put on hell of show.
+Michael Hegyan I think you got your years mixed up , Grand Funk broke up in 1976.
A damn good song then. A damn good song now. Thank you for posting this.
I just went to a weekend devoted to dancing and they played this song. People of all ages loved it. Glad to see that millions have viewed this video.
Check out Little Eva
Thanks, Roy. Check out my original music on RUclips.
Love The Oldies
The backup singers are very talented...they even dance so fine
Hell they should be top of the list!
Absolutely the best years of music ever
Wow ! I I remember this song on tbe radio when i was little in the 70's but i never wouldve thought it was a ROCK band!!
Mark Farner! Great Rock Tenor voice!!
From Little Eva to Kylie Minogue to Grand Funk Railroad to Atomic Kitten, this song, no matter who does and interprets it their way, it's almost impossible to mess up. And GFR does it up right!
GAAAHHHH! My favorite song in Kindergarten. Even then I knew what was good! Still a big fan almost 40 years later.
Celebrate 70s forever!
Salute from Brazil
I bought the 45 RPM single of this song back in the 70's when I was a rebellious teenager!
I love how his guitar shines
AAHH, I Loved that Album, pert'nere wore 'er out 😘
What an ace vocalist
Also noticed he's the only one on stage with a guitar..
Одна из любимых групп начала 70-х!
I miss these days!!!!!
One of my all time favorite bands. Love them !
Fantastic live version of this great song !!!!
Wow! tremenda banda una de mis favoritas no me canso de escucharlos son buenos de verdad...Saludos desde San José Barquisimeto Venezuela...!

My favorite song in 8th grade. Still great.

This was literally the first real rock song that put me on my journey to rock n roll. I was 10 when I heard it on an album.
Dynamite! Great tribute to the song and Little Eva.
backup vocals killin it...
So much power!!!
years later...this song still rocks !!
I remember dancing to this at Jr. High dances in the early 70s. Some good memories of a difficult time for me.
Don't you love his arms?? Still a good song.🎼😎
Hello Christine, How are you doing?
