We’re An American Band has received notoriety in recent years being used in movie soundtracks and in television/radio advertising. Mega-hits We’re An American Band, I’m Your Captain/Closer To Home, Locomotion, and Some Kind Of Wonderful still receive continuous airplay on Classic Rock radio. 'I'm Your Captain' is quite possibly the definitive Grand Funk Railroad song, summing up everything great about the band's first chapter, before they started showing up in the Top 10. The fact that Grand Funk’s legacy still reigns over the Classic Rock landscape fifty years after its 1969 birth in Flint, Michigan is a testament to the group’s influence and staying power.
Grand Funk laid the groundwork for such bands as Foreigner, Journey, Van Halen, and Bon Jovi with its signature hard-driving sound, soulful vocals, muscular instrumentation, and forceful pop melodies. Grand Funks best known songs include the epic Im Your Captain/Closer To Home (1970), Were An American Band (1973), The Loco-Motion (1974). Forget your Deep Purple s, Led Zeppelin s and Black Sabbath s, they overshadowed these behemoths by miles. They had chart topping singles covering a span of 7 years. Their last appearance in the charts was 1975. Grand Funk Railroad, sometimes shortened as Grand Funk, is an American hard rock band popular during the 1970s, which toured extensively and played to packed arenas worldwide. Known for their crowd-pleasing arena rock style, the band was well-regarded by audiences despite a relative lack of critical acclaim. The band’s name is a play on words of the Grand Trunk Western Railroad, a line that runs through the band’s home town of Flint, Michigan. Well, trust me on this one when I tell you that, for a large part of the early 70s, Grand Funk were the biggest motherfuckin’ heavy rock band in the world. Grand Funk Railroad first charted in 1969.
