For a completely different sound from GFR, "I'm Your Captain/Closer to Home," is a great song with a cool vibe.

[@leefriedman9882]

Yeah- that’s my favorite of theirs.

[@rray848]

This song and "I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home)" are my favorite songs by GFR. Great suggestion.

[@johndalley1288]

Yes it's the best!

[@daverudbarg]

A classic!

[@karenvega7089]

My favorite, for sure.

[@waynefurrow845]

It is amazing how much "groove" they got out of just the Bass and Drums, so the organ really hits you towards the end, it is simplicity at its finest.

[@steveullrich7737]

A demonstration of "less is more".

[@thorolsen8057]

I CAN FEEL HIM.IN.THE MORNING IS ANOTHER GOOD ONE

The organ came in as they sang "can I get a witness". Took us to church, y'all!

Another singing drummer, Don Brewer. Their cover of Little Eva's "Locomotion" is great.

[@j.j.upright4010]

@@johnvance3011 It's actually both of them singing as they're trading the lead and background vocals!!

[@johnj2763]

So is Little Eva's

[@dadams6593]

It was Todd Rundgren’s idea for them to cover Little Eva because he was their producer at the time.

[@dogbarbill]

I'm so burned out on that tune, I don't want to hear it anymore.

[@Weebill007]

@@j.j.upright4010 in this song it's mostly Mark Farner singing lead with Don Brewer joining in. Farner has the more soul and groove vocals; whereas, Brewer's vocals come across more as husky. But both great singers who complimented each another unfortunately not in personality. Mark Farner was the backbone of the band.

[@mitziesanders9840]

I truly loved this band. Later I watched “Behind the Music” and realized that “sex, drugs, and rock and roll” was not their problem. Their label was stealing from them. They were great musicians whose record company was bleeding them dry.

[@tedrowell659]

Our first daughter was about 3 and her and I were driving in my truck. We were stopped at a red light and this song came on the radio. I started singing it to her, she LOVED it, we were having a great time with the music cranked, her laughing and clapping with dad screaming out the vocals . G9t so into it I didn't realize all the vehicles around us were watching and laughing :)

Both the drummer, Don Brewer and the lead guitarist, Mark Farner both sing lead on this song. They take turns.

[@gregsager2062]

The vocal parts that Jordan and Amber were ooh-ing and aah-ing over are Farner's.

[@txbeachbum]

Grand Funk Railroad is overlooked. They probably have 10 or more songs that everyone knows and sings word for word but can't name the band.

[@scottiefunk6744]

How true man 👍

[@rogerkelly7988]

Late 60s and into the 70s Grand Funk Railroad was one of the biggest rock bands in the country along with Creedance Clearwater Revival, Three Dog Night and Jefferson Airplane

[@Roh_Echt]

This one has been my favorite GFR song. I loved hearing it back in the 70s. "I'm Your Captain" & "Footstompin' Music" & "Bad Time" are all really good.

[@jjr007]

"Mean Mistreater", "Aimless Lady", and "I Don't Have to Sing the Blues" are some other great songs in their library!

[@rondiacarman376]

YES! Play Mean mistreated! Excellent song!

[@Denkar11]

Grand Funk (and Black Oak Arkansas as the warmup band) was the first major rock concert I ever attended. My tastes have embraced many musical changes over the years, but you always gotta go back to your roots! They also had other good songs, like "I'm Your Captain (Closer to Home)", and they did good versions of 'Loco-motion' which you've reviewed by Little Eva, and 'Hooked on a Feelin'.

[@KittKattKlub]

I saw that exact concert in PHX, AZ

[@SusanJohnston]

I was there in OKC!

[@barrycounts490]

Grand Funk is from Michigan one of the best garage bands to make it big ! "Foot Stomping Music" and "Gimme Shelter" two more great songs !!

[@ronaldswantek6344]

Yes, Check out foot stompin music! Great song!

[@rickeyjohnson9906]

They were considered the greatest garage band and probably still would be if they stayed together

GUYS, Y'ALL LOVED THREE DOG NIGHT. THEY WERE MY NUMBER GROUP BEFORE I FOUND FUNKADELIC, BUT YOU HAVE TO HEAR THEM DO ... ELI'S COMING...1975 LIVE. ALL THREE HAVE GREAT VOICES. THIS SHOW WILL BLOW YOU AWAY, EVEN AFTER JOY TO THE WORLD. PLEASE, PLEASE THIS IS GREAT.

[@stormy8207]

Absolutely. Yes

[@JohnathanKatz]

Bands that are sorely missed these days, a product of their time and a classic sound that never gets old. Bands like Grand Funk Railroad will be remembered long after their generation is completely gone, rock bands today wish they were like them.

[@redcaddiedaddie]

I saw GFR in the fall of '69 at the Texas International Pop Festival (near Dallas)... they played free afternoon spots as a means of promoting their first album, soon to come out- it was at the beginning of their career, & at that time no one had ever heard of them!!

[@erink695]

1969 "Inside looking out" . You will love it! Mark's voice is amazing. You will get soul by the mega ton w that 1969 video. Not just a lyric one. Seeing is part of the experience!!

[@Rhiannon011]

I believe that was the first one (1969 live version) they listened to already from Grand Funk Railroad.

[@nancya2778]

Diffinatelly try "Inside looking out".

[@Rhiannon011]

GFR Mark Farner has such a great voice always. Such a great singer, guitarist, harmonica, keyboard, piano and song writer! The GFR drummer sings the lower vocals, but Mark ALWAYS takes it home! If you like Mark's voice in this song you will also love "Heartbreaker" and "Mean Mistreater", he sings more ballad and great guitar licks! Mark's voice has a great range.

[@lohearth3160]

Heartbreaker is my favorite, heavy rocking blues

[@Rhiannon011]

@@lohearth3160 OH yeah, I love the 1974 live version of "Heartbreaker" man, Mark's voice and those guitar licks are epic in that live version!

[@unclefuggly7149]

And his band kicked him out!

[@bakilacat1]

Once u hear this a couple times, you’ll find yourself acting and singing this out loud like a performance!!!My fave of theirs!!!

[@merlball8520]

Hah! I mentioned something similar in my comment. Something about this song just begs you to sing and dance along to it.

[@Spiritbro77]

Grand Funk Railroad has a VERY deep catalog of great songs and albums. One of my favorite bands of all time. Their name is fitting they put the FUNK into hard rock. Great band.

[@cesarnarro6013]

I never bought any of their albums but i saw them live a couple of times in the early 70's. Their live shows were a blast !!!

[@gregwatson3300]

I'm Your Captain/Closer to Home is a must from this band.

[@toots19]

They sure have that funky motown sound, this was so popular partly because it's a lot like the original

[@loisr3970]

Here's wishing you two much luv hope you guys can get 45 yrs of listening to this awesomeness 2💓 We use to dance around with our kids. They loved it too. Now 38,41..... lord luvs ducks.....Cheers

[@salsaucedo]

Yep one of the greatest American band in the late 60s to early 70s and have a tone of awesome songs they have one of my favorites over the years, To this day they have not been inducted into the rock roll hall of fame which for is a freaking joke, extremely underrated and dismised by the mainstream media garbage

[@Star_R666]

I love Mark Farner's voice.

[@gregfagan199]

Growing up in Jersey City, we sang this one in the schoolyards and on the street corners. It's definitely a singalong.

[@KaleidoscopeMagic]

Soooo glad you two finally reviewed *SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL* Oh man, that song gives me chills every single time I listen to it! Glad you both enjoyed as much as I do!

[@daveowens9849]

GFR did a cover of Little Eva's "Loco Motion" and you reacted to that song. Need to react to GFR's version, big hit for them back in the day! Rock on!!!

[@kdm71291]

This is a crazy love song you sing to your lady….the kind you surprise her with at Karaoke. 😉

[@guitarzan5328]

Talking of GFR, you should hear their version of Little Eva's "Locomotion". You guys will get a kick out of that one, probably the _only_ cover of that song I enjoy.

[@vancepeck7888]

My first 45, my mom brought it home for a surprise or something!! I was nine or ten!! ❤️

[@teetee_555]

Such a favorite!!!! Members of the band got "saved" and changed the song to sing about his LORD JESUS Christ!!!! Love it!!!! We sang this song in church!!!!

[@bloppysloppy4057]

Mark Farner is an underrated vocalist. Then add his guitar playing on top of that, pure talent. That concoction that Don & Mel have going on is not Grand Funk without Mark.

[@paularietta6744]

I so love the reactions where we can all hear Luca (and the girls) in the background. Miss the days when my daughters were that age. God bless you all.

[@peterzimmer9140]

This was the era when bands out of Detroit were leading the rock n roll world. The fact that GFR are not in the rock n roll hall of fame proves the illegitimacy of that organization.

[@kellifranklin9872]

Couldn’t agree more!

[@geminiguy2013]

Actually from Flint...my old hometown. Still not far from Detroit. My cousin was a classmate of Donny Brewer.

[@debsparbel8325]

Southern rock soul straight out of Michigan. I have seen Jeff Daniels (yes, the actor, who still lives in Michigan) in concert. During a Q&A, he said Grand Funk was his fave band as a teenager. He never got to see them live in concert but did get to met Mark Farner, who taught him a Grand Funk riff.

[@davidhutchinson5233]

There was a band years ago, mid to late 80s who used to play this at a local bar where I used to hang out. This song got everyone up on the dance floor.

So excited to see you react to this one! Next up should be "I'm Your Captain/Closer To Home". Another you should do is "Takin' Care of Business" by Bachman-Turner Overdrive.

Bad time, was a great song, Sally, as well. Cheese but beautiful tunez when young and your ❤️ got broken.

My Favorite band of all time. I'd recommend a song but they are all good. The most famous would probably be I'm Your Captain. You were talking about Mark Farner's voice and he is an amazing singer. His vocal range is incredible.

[@jamessugg7061]

That bass is hypnotic!

[@tonyherrera2570]

GFR…I’m your Captain is definitely worth a reaction. I can’t believe that GFR and Three Dog Night, two huge groups that spanned the late 60’s to the 70’s aren’t in the Rock & Roll HOF, yet the Foo Fighters and Janet Jackson are?? It really boggles the mind🤔…

[@leannmiller7153]

When I was in high school, and college, everyone had this album🔥🔥🔥

I absolutely love this song! And this is why rock is the epitome of music genre. It can take on the characteristics of literally ANY genre and make it better. This song does that with GOSPEL, but blues, jazz, country, reggae … you name it, rock does it. Much love ❤️

[@danbeach9986]

"Foot Stompin' Music" is a great way to start off your day

[@cindysimpson1046]

I can separate my favorite music into 2 categories, traditional and classic. This one I consider one of my traditional faves. It's played a lot of times at personal and sporting functions as well as most parties in general. We usually play it on our Fridays at our favorite neighborhood pub and us ladies (age 45-65+) will tear it up on the dance floor! If I come across what I feel is a true classic, I will comment on that video. Chow guys! Love your channel!

[@SirOtter1]

There is an urban legend about the Municipal Auditorium in Nashville (it's the round domed building on the back of Bob Dylan's "Nashville Skyline" album) that at a GFR concert in the early 70s, the vibrations from the audience participation during "Foot-Stompin' Music" cracked the foundation. That's right, the folks in Nashville supposedly foot-stomped a little too much. No idea if that's true, but wouldn't it be cool if it were?
