I'm a 62yr old woman and I love this music. It brings back so many memories. Keep up the good work. Your my favorite reactor

[@timwhiting6721]

A time when we had alot of problems but were willing to have discussions. I'm happy to say the internet will help and hurt us at the same time but we are smart and will figure it out. America is a special place and is worth protecting and saving so we can make more awesome music

[@impalaman9707]

No band ever combined rock and soul music together better than the Mighty Railroad--and that's a natural born FACT!

[@gms9655]

So true. Best white rock n soul band ever! Btw, to the dude showing this, it was the GFR live music that connected the most. Check out more or it.

[@jefffournier9986]

Right on

I am a 66 year old man and this is one of my favorite songs by G.F.R.R. i even played this song in a couple of bands that i was in back in the day. This song originally was only ment to be played live as the opening song at a Grand Funk concert. This song totally rocks. I love G.F.R.R. even to this day. Long live Mark Farner and his music.

[@aaronstrerk5521]

I'm 33 and I've been listening to this music since I was swimming in my daddy's sack. I've never stopped loving this band.

[@Pound_Shift]

Makes me happy seeing this make someone happy 😊

[@marjoriekloster8949]

IMHO, Mel Schacher is one of the most underrated bass players ever!

[@rich6023]

And maybe one of the best. The bass lines in so many of their songs are just kick ass!

Luv you Jamel!! Grand Funk was my favorite band in high school! Thank you for this. I appreciate that you give all kinds of musical chance and always have something good to say about every song.

[@dannyvickers7663]

Thank you, young man for a quick ticket back home to my youth. What I needed

[@tootsie3612]

Love Grand Funk Railroad. Locomotion and Some Kind Of Wonderful are my faves. I just discovered your channel yesterday. I love it.

[@da324]

Funny, two songs they didn't write.

[@gayleash9712]

Mark Farner was the heart and soul of GFR!

[@kathyrammel5310]

Love that you love Grand Funk! My late teens-early 20s time period music, so I really like it that you appreciate “old stuff.”.

[@charleshutton284]

Grand Funk Railroad was definitely a great band, especially when Mark Farner fronted them. Good choice of song. Merry Christmas, Jamal!

[@davidward3122]

We needed this tonight. Thank you. Too many Christmas blues. Thank you from the bottom of our our old well meaning hearts. Helps through a cruddy night. We have seen gfr live many times. The originals always tore a venue up.

[@darrellpidgeon6440]

Wow, a piece from the good ol' days. So many of their cuts stay with me. Like "We're an American Band". A unique sound, back then. Keep on in touch, Bro.

[@PackedFunk]

Great Mark Farner. Song writer, lead guitar, Organ, lead singer!

[@thirty2wins]

As a Football coach there is nothing better to see than.....a BIG MAN dancin!!!

[@BrettTaylor-u1v]

Love The Phillie Hat! Whenever I check out a song, got to make sure you have a video on it first! Woooo wooo

[@charliebishop6235]

I saw these guys in Springfield, Ma. The show however was during a blizzard (we followed the plows all the way from CT to get there). We made it and we got worried as showtime approached and maybe only 200 people in a sold out arena. Long story short...the band announced since we showed up "everybody get down front!!" and they started with this and played (jammed) for three hours. One of my all time favorite concerts.

[@vickiconley3638]

Don’t forget, “Bad Time” as I wanna see your face when you hear it, and see that moment of recognition! Please,! you will love it.

[@darkether]

You will most likely also really like Boz Scaggs' "Lido Shuffle" and "Lowdown", among his other hits. A lot of his songs are a nice mix of jazz, rock, soul, R&B.

[@judywalker8020]

The drumming with what he was drumming with is impossible to explain.They were THE most underrated band ever...period.They did want to make you groove.

[@Chefitup1901]

This is my favorite Grand Funk song. I’ve got a live record by them and this track opens the concert. So damn amazing.

[@mikehenson819]

Imagine: your 16 years old and at an outdoor concert in the Summer when they take the stage and open their set with this. The summer was 1974. The place was Nashville's Tennessee, Fair Park motor speed way. What a show. What a great time to be alive and share that with a big FORD station full of friends. Thank you!

[@dianaallison6110]

U go, Jamal 🙂🙂!! Its so fun 2 see u groovin' 2 the music. Thx 4 this one. GFRR Rocks!! And..they need 2 be in the R&R HofF...like many yrs ago!!

Oh ya, he got into it big time. Makes you wanna groove and party ! Awesome song

[@TulsaGirlForever]

There was a Little Ol Band from Texas but there was also this Little Ol' band from Michigan!! The first time they play my hometown, they rocked our SOULS!! I was a GFR fan then & am still a GFR fan. Whew, them boys sounded great in the studio AND even better LIVE!! Good reaction Jamel~!!!

[@shannonrichardson3405]

My FAVORITE from this band. I’ve heard it thousands of times and I STILL act like you when I hear it. Ha ha! Awesome reaction. Thanks!

[@neilmceachren9485]

I saw this again Thank you my brother. Im smilin tonight thanks to you. I appreciate ya

[@sheryld3]

This band was the very first concert I went to in the early 70's. Love them.

[@ImaDrummer55]

Love Grand Funk. Great as a trio, but when they added Craig Frost on keyboards, it added another dimension and gave the band more depth and color to what was already a great sound. Saw them live in Syracuse -- 11th row for an afternoon show, and they delivered just as much energy as they would for a sold-out night show !! Spent my youth in the basement on Saturdays, learning my chops on a used Sears $100 set that my brother brought home from the Air Force...just brings back some great memories !!

[@michaelbarras6950]

Rock & Roll with a little SOUL! My favorite Band. Fan since 69.👍✌🇺🇸❤

[@MsCathy42]

My hometown band. My generation. They are still the best. I used to turn the bass up and turn the volume up. Drove my parents crazy.

[@rickleblanc8900]

Their first Live Album was my official first rock album i ever bought back in the day, followed by Sabbath's first album. Ah, the joys of discovery !

[@floydthebarber9956]

You sir are a Mark Farner fan! What's amazing is Farner is singing lead and playing every instrument you hear excpet bass and drums. Farner Forever! And it's worth finding a clean live version of it to watch him work. Even if it's Mark Farner solo.

[@williamchiles7856]

I had loved them since I was 12 and my 15 year old aunt got to listen to them in 68

[@rigelmoon9030]

Once ya go '70's, ya never go back.

[@daletec1]

If you like GFRR, then you should definitely listen to the bass lead on their version of "Feelin' Alright", seriously, one of the best bass lines in rock n roll!!!

[@NelsonMontana1234]

Mel is a great bassplayer but that song is a throwaway. Carol Kay's bass part on Feelin; alright with Joe Cocker is much better.

[@donr9861]

I have listened to several versions of feeling alright and even though Joe Cocker is a good one , grand funk Railroads version is in my opinion the best version

[@sheripetrey4257]

My favorite GFRR song is "SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL, Because on a wesome summer night when that song cam on the radio both sides of Gratiot Avenue( everybody's windows were rolled down, and "SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL (by GFRR)came on, it was the most awesome experience ensued.People were smiling and singing their asses off!!!!!!!

[@andrewgreen3518]

Best bass, drum, and guitar combo, keyboard band that ever played! Mark Farner, Mel Trotter rocked! You need to hear Rock and roll soul by grand Funk

[@tracyporter5471]

Seeing Grand Funk was a fun and fantastic experience! First of all, the show started out with one of the best blues guitarist/singers of all time Freddie King! I was about 30 feet from the stage and I could see his steel finger picks grating across the strings of his cherry red Gibson 335. I believe it was the the We Are An American Band tour. Grand Funk rocked hard and the sound was even better than the records. Behind the band was a giant screen showing their home movies

[@murraypft]

This song was my intro to Grand Funk, 7th-8th grade dance. Been a fan ever since. GREAT album cover, E Pluribus Funk, ROUND cover. Looked like a Quarter.

[@robertbrown9912]

Back in the day i.e. 60's and 70's a lot of the R&B/soul bands used a Hammond B3 organ with a speaker called a Leslie. The Leslie, or at least some models, had a couple of horns that would spin and the harder/louder it played the faster it spun around. Every time I hear this song that's what I picture in my mind. A Leslie on this song? Not sure but I love the image.
