		Grand Funk is newly reformed, stoked by the reissue of the group's catalog on CD and the new box set " Thirty Years of Funk," The Anthology by EMI-Capitol records.
		Generally acknowledged as one of the precursors to heavy metal, Grand Funk laid the groundwork for such bands as Foreigner, Journey, Van Halen and Bon Jovi with its signature hard driving sound – a combination of soulful vocals, muscular instrumentation and forceful pop melodies.
		The fact that Grand Funk's legacy still looms large over the pop music landscape more than thirty years after its 1969 birth in Flint, Michigan, is also a testament to the group's influence and staying power.

	Grand Funk Railroad - RockinTown Bio
		GFR were just a bunch of Michigan Rock wannabes when Terry Knight took over as their manager.
		GFR was to be simple, straight-ahead, riff-driven hard Rock targeting the lowest common denominator.
		GFR continued to record commercially successful albums but "Survival" and "E Pluribus Funk" are lackluster though the latter does have the keyboard drenched "Footstompin' Music." "Mark, Don and Mel" is a "Best Of" collection drawing from the group's early work.

		When GRAND FUNK RAILROAD evolved from the recording studio and handed in to Capitol Records this album, they felt confident that their self-titled red album was really going to blow people's minds as well as surprise the whole music industry.
