About of GRAND FUNK RAILROAD
Classic Bands: Grand Funk Railroad
Portrait and biography.
Grand Funk Railroad The foundation of what was to become 'Grand Funk Railroad' was laid in Flint, Michigan in the mid 1960's
They recruited bass player Mel Schacher from Question Mark and The Mysterians, and renamed themselves 'Grand Funk Railroad', inspired by a Michigan landmark, The Grand Trunk Railroad
The next few years were spent in litigation over the rights to the name 'Grand Funk Railroad' and song royalties
The following year, the group reverted to its original name of 'Grand Funk Railroad' and signed with MCA Records to record 'Good Singin', Good Playin', produced by Frank Zappa
It wasn't long after that it became official, Grand Funk Railroad was reunited
Together, Brewer and Schacher created a new, dynamic and multi-talented five-piece band to not only carry on the tradition of the Grand Funk hits, but also having the potential to create a brand new chapter in the legacy of Grand Funk Railroad

Del Mar, California concert review.
Del Mar Fair San Diego, California 06/30/97 by Shawn Perry Last year, When I first heard that Mark Farner, Don Brewer and Mel Schacher -- collectively known in the 1970's as Grand Funk Railroad -- were going to reunite, I about lost my mind
On May 2, I had the opportunity to see the original members of Grand Funk Railroad perform at the Greek Theater in Los Angeles

Article on the hit single.
Adapting the name of Michigan's Grand Trunk Railroad, Grand Funk Railroad was born
And so it went for Grand Funk Railroad -- air play and acclaim eluding them, even as concert halls around the world were crammed (the Beatles took three weeks to sell out Shea Stadium; Grand Funk did it in three days)
Organist Craig Frost was added, and the word 'Railroad' was dropped from the name

Still Funky - Grand Funk Railroad
Interview with Don Brewer by Murf Murphy.
March 6, 1998 Interview with Grand Funk Railroad's Don Brewer - 3 March 98 Slant - Why do you think the 'professional' press always hated Grand Funk at the same time Grand Funk was selling millions of records? Brewer - Well we got off on the wrong foot with the press
It says 'Grand Funk Railroad'? Brewer - We are! We still use it on some of the T-shirts, and we're talking about changing our merchandise company, and we were talking to the guy the other day, and we said we have to keep that logo going as much as possible with the 'Were An American Band' hand, with a flag behind it with 'Grand Funk Railroad' and 'The American Band' going around it
