Originating from Flint, Michigan in 1969, the band has had 19 charted singles, eight Top 40 hits and two number one singles: “We’re An American Band” and “Locomotion”. Other hits include “I’m Your Captain/Closer to Home” and “Some Kind of Wonderful.”

A member of the Michigan Rock & Roll Legends Hall of Fame, Grand Funk Railroad has been credited for laying the groundwork for such bands as Foreigner, Journey, Van Halen, and Bon Jovi with its signature hard driving sound, soulful vocals, muscular instrumentation, and forceful melodies.
