I am a 68 year old black American female and I was a GFR fanatic while the rest of ny froends were listening to the Temptations. Mel's bass!

I went to a large bar back in 1985, because GFR was playing live. A buddy and I arrived early, and I picked a spot right at the stage. As they kicked off Mark kept tripping over his guitar cable, so I started reeling it in, or letting it out as needed. He realized instantly what I was doing, and gave me a thumbs up. I guess the roadies liked it too, because they started sending beer every time I ran out. They wanted me to stick around, so we had a sit down, and chatted for an hour or so after the gig. A bunch of very cool guys. They signed a set of drumsticks for me. It was a good night.

Finally, someone recognizes the musical genius of Grand Funk. The most underrated Rock band in history. Why aren't they in the Rock and Roll hall of fame?

Over 50 years. Still bring tears to my eyes, they are so good!!
Never get tired of hearing this.

One of the best and always overlooked front men ever, Mark Farner.

[thala]

Grand Funk was one of the most rocking, high energy bands ever!

[rockyhart]

Mark Farner & Grand Funk do not get the respect they deserve.

[caryrodda]

Thank you for singling out Mel Schacher's bass playing. A criminally underrated player in my opinion.

Janet Jackson in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but not Grand Funk Railroad. Seriously?

Best live performance I have ever seen from a band on YouTube. It may be 1969, but in 2019 it still works and blows most other bands I seen away . . .

I'm a 64 year old black American male, and I too was a GFR fan. Fortunate to see them in '73.
Loved all the guys but, .ain't no Grand Funk without Farner. It was a great period for the Temps
also!

[MrRoach-yomz]

I worked for Farner, more than anyone else in my career.... He's the best of people and STILL dead nuts on key, powerful and energetic in 2019!

The most underrated band ot all time. Critic's didn't Love them but the people did.

Oh how I miss those days!!! I was fortunate enough to be a teenager during the best rock music era ever!! Grand Funk, Black Oak Arkansas, Allman Brothers, and too many more to mention. Always loved those long music breaks in the songs when we were sitting around listening to albums. Wish you could've been there to experience all that great music firsthand. You would've loved it!! 🤘

I'm a 62 year old Texan, and Grand Funk Railroad was definitely a huge part of my adolescence...these guys could really sing so soulfully and rock out with the best of them! Another great choice Fil.

[jessegreen]

Grand Funk right up there with Cream in my opinion. They came out not to long after Cream broke up. One of the best three piece bands of all time.

How much live rock performances have changed since those days, so much raw energy and no need for elaborate equipment, pitch correction & backing tracks.

[harley]

Proud to say this band is from my Home state of Michigan! Even here, they didn't get the fame they deserved!

[strattuner]

MARK FARNER IS A GENIUS, and so full of energy he may live to 105, he is an inspired musical genius, his guitar work astound, his vocals and organ piano material writing genius shows every song, hall of fame is vacant

[mjc]

And the fact that they aren’t in the rock n roll hall of fame, shows what a joke it is....
