Post Description

Grand Funk Railroad (also known as Grand Funk) is an American blues rock band that 
was highly popular during the 1970s. Grand Funk Railroad toured to packed arenas 
worldwide. David Fricke of Rolling Stone magazine once said You cannot talk about 
rock in the 1970's without talking about Grand Funk Railroad. A popular take on the 
band during its heyday was that, although the critics hated them, audiences loved them.
The band's name is a play on words of the Grand Trunk Western Railroad, a railroad line 
that ran through the band's home town of Flint, Michigan.
In 1969, the band released its first album titled On Time, which sold over one million 
copies, and was awarded a gold record in 1970. In the same year, a second album, 
Grand Funk was awarded gold status. The album Closer to Home, was released in 1970.
