Ladies if you haven't listened to Grand Funks... "Closer to Home" "the studio version" you' ve got to. It's the first of the 4 Rock and Roll Anthems. In other words the greatest rock songs of all time.
MORE COWBELL!!! LOL One of the greatest hard driving rocking songs ever. As soon as you hear that intro, gotta turn it up to 11. "Sweet, sweet Connie doin' her act, she had the whole show that's a matter of fact..." Connie was a real person that was a "special" groupie.
I went to the same high school as Don Brewer, the drummer (he was many years ahead of me). When I was around 6or 7, I heard them practicing in the drummer's mom's garage which was across the street from the baseball diamond my cousin was playing at.
This song came from these guys sitting down with Foghat (who are from Britain) and talking about the differences about being a band from Britain and a band from the US. They realized they were an American band. Now I segue into my request :) Foghat. Slow Ride, Fool for the City, and All I Want to do is Just Make Love to You.
Awesome reaction ladies 👍🏼 Sticking to the America theme The band NIGHT RANGER The song"YOU CAN STILL ROCK IN AMERICA" Keep up the good work 🎯💯✌🏻 "Live" or. OFFICIAL VIDEO
Rather ironic he chose that as a band name because the song was actually written (and sung) by the drummer Don Brewer and the two of them have been at odds with each other for many years now.
Being a songwriter, vocalist and multi-instrumentalist myself, one of the instruments that I play is drums and I used to do that drumming and singing at the same time thing too. And in my opinion, Don Brewer for Grand Funk Railroad is the best combination of singer/drummer. Even though the main lead vocalist is Mark Farner the guitar player, the drummer Don Brewer is doing the lead vocals on this song. Don usually does the backing vocals and the harmonies. Even though I like Phil Collins and Don Henley from the band The Eagles who are both drummer lead vocalists, I think Don Brewer is the best drummer lead vocalist. The band originally came out in 1969 as a 3-man trio. Then they hired Craig Frost to join the band on keyboards in 1972 and then there were 4 band members. This album titled "We're an American Band" was the first one that Craig played on. You can see all 4 of them in this video. Great job ladies.
The drummer has his own Grand Funk version of a band and Mark Farner has his own band. Split. Farner was "done wrong" by the rest of this band. I saw both versions of these bands in the same year.
Thank you ladies. I am an old rocker and I love your channel. If you are looking for another Grand Funk Railroad song, my fave has always been Some Kind of Wonderful. ( off topic but still music Warren Zevon Werewolves of London , could be a great reaction video.) Have a great day.
Really glad you all reacted to this!! I was fortunate to see them in 1974, 1975 (this tour), and their reunion tour in the 90s. Their fourth member by this point was Craig Frost on keyboards. They were truly amazing live!!!!! You all did a great reaction!!!!
Wow!!! Brings back memories, hearing this on the radio, I loved it ❤️ my older cousin had this album and we used to crank it, glad y'all liked this Cathy your looking very attractive ❤️ as always keep on rocking ladies 🤟
Specifically the live video version from the 70's TV show The Midnight Special. That performance has gained huge recognition for it's uniqueness and spontaneity. You three girls will have bonkers fun reacting to that one. 🎉🎉🎉
Next= Live = In 71 a show called In Concert" made a Special , " Grand Funk Railroad ;Live at Shea Stadium" ........ It took The Beatles 7 weeks , to sell out Shea Stadioum,, it took Grand Funk 2 1/2 days. Please watch the whole 1 hour show. It's the best. I saw it on a Friday night with 20 friends in a basement.. I was 16. I love yall's reactions. I'm from southern W.Va. God Bless... another song "I Can Feel Him In The Morning,'
At this time in the band's history, it's a four man band. They added a keyboardist. You might have heard Poison's cover of We're An American Band. Bret Michaels is the lead singer in Poison.
Grand Funk goes back along ways, Donna, you sound like a Rock n Roller in your younger days. Weren't we all ! ! Good Music, Good Friends and a whole lot of yehaa. Now we're geezers and geezeretts. Long Life Rock n Roll.
Mark Farner (Guitar), Don Brewer (Drums) and Mel Schacter Bass), the boys from Flint, Michigan, were one of the great American success stories in the 1970's. I remember going to the mall one day, about fifty years ago, and buying Grand Funk Railroad "We're An American Band", Deep Purple "Made In Japan" and Alice Cooper "Billion Dollar Babies" in one shot. The Grand Funk LP, which I still have along with the others, is clear Yellow Plastic. Very Cool.
I had the yellow album too and accidentally sat on it. I had Billion dollar babies too , And Black Sabbath Paranoid and the Who, Who's next. and 10 years after, A space in time. My first 5 albums back in 75'
Omaha girl here, dam! Between Don, and Mark its hard to pick a vocalist, they both good. Wish I'd seen you fellas that night was bout 13 at time, lil before my time, but i had 2 older sisters so mad i didn't get to go! :(
You ladies outta checkout Blackfoot a southern rock band from Jacksonville Florida and the song white man's land. In Donna's own words .. I think you'll like it it's a barnburner. Take care y'all

You need to listen to heartbreaker live 1972, fantastic
Another great classic rock song by a great classic rock band... Too bad they can't afford shirts though, but I don't think you Girl mind all that much!!! lol
Love Grandfunk!!! Nothing beats this original, but Poison did a decent cover of this. Also love their song Queen B from the Heavy Metal soundtrack. Great reaction ladies!!! 🍻🤟👏
Grand Funk Railroad | American Band !!! This one takes me back. I got to see them in concert. BTW anybody for >>> Meatloaf - Paradise by The Dashboard Light?
Hi gals. Loved your reaction😍. Your accent makes me belive that you’re from the South. Do a reaction to Outlaws ” Green grass and high tides ” and I will buy you three coffees 😍❤️.
LuLu, you are a cutie, but, just smile and go with it. If you keep forcing a scowl to look serious, your face will get stuck that way as you grow. Your mom has a lovely smile so I know you have it in you. Just let it shine 🥰
Here’s a short interview with Grand Funk Railroad’s first Publicist, Lynn Goldsmith. She explains pretty well what was going on with band and their song “We’re An American Band”, and she was present when Mark gave Don full publishing rights to the song after Don, out of the blue, asked if he could have them. ua-cam.com/video/2PMmr1m83KY/v-deo.htmlsi=f2awM-AKqEbF-YAq
Mark Farner, the lead singer, allowed the drummer full writing credits on this song and it turned out to be their biggest hit.
Ladies if you haven't
listened to Grand Funks...
"Closer to Home"
"the studio version"
you' ve got to. It's the first of the 4 Rock and Roll Anthems. In other words the greatest rock songs of all time.
😊
MORE COWBELL!!! LOL One of the greatest hard driving rocking songs ever. As soon as you hear that intro, gotta turn it up to 11. "Sweet, sweet Connie doin' her act, she had the whole show that's a matter of fact..." Connie was a real person that was a "special" groupie.
"I gotta have more cowbell baby!"
"I got a fever and the only prescription is more cowbell" ... ;0)
ua-cam.com/video/cVsQLlk-T0s/v-deo.html
The correct lyrics are : She had the whole show AND THAT'S A NATURAL FACT!
"Sweet" Connie Hamzy (Parente) --- a true American legend.
Love to see Donna lite up as she watches!
Then you absolutely need to hear "Closer to Home". Amazing!
"And we proceeded to tear that whole town down! " Great lyrics! Great band!
I think it’s “proceeded to tear that HOTEL down…”.
I went to the same high school as Don Brewer, the drummer (he was many years ahead of me). When I was around 6or 7, I heard them practicing in the drummer's mom's garage which was across the street from the baseball diamond my cousin was playing at.
Awesome
Great to see Lulu is gaining confidence in herself.✌🏻❤️
Love old songs full of real soul
I'm your Captian, The Locomotion, Bad Time for a start !. Outstanding !!!.
American band and the Locomotion were #1 hits for Grand Funk !
Next watch my favorite " Inside looking out " , live in 69' on PBS.
Great band that lives on forever
They also sing " The locomotion " at this same concert and it's better than the studio version.
Right on Donna! Great reaction ladies! Especially talking about "looks" and such!
This song came from these guys sitting down with Foghat (who are from Britain) and talking about the differences about being a band from Britain and a band from the US. They realized they were an American band. Now I segue into my request :) Foghat. Slow Ride, Fool for the City, and All I Want to do is Just Make Love to You.
Awesome reaction ladies 👍🏼
Sticking to the America theme
The band NIGHT RANGER
The song"YOU CAN STILL ROCK IN AMERICA"
Keep up the good work 🎯💯✌🏻
"Live" or. OFFICIAL VIDEO
Still gives me the chills when i listen to this!
American Band is the name of Mark's (lead guitar) new group and they are on their farewell tour now I do believe.
Awesome
Rather ironic he chose that as a band name because the song was actually written (and sung) by the drummer Don Brewer and the two of them have been at odds with each other for many years now.
Thanks, Chad! Saved me requesting it! 🙂 Enjoyed the reaction, ladies.
Awesome! Thank you!
Some kind of wonderful. Good song
Great song... and another awesome reaction!! Keep up the good work 😊
Thank you!! 😁
Great reaction. One of my favorite bands. Love your channel.
Awesome! Thank you!
Great reaction! Lots of fun.
Glad you enjoyed
Great reaction ladies

Takes me back to high school in the seventies. The lead singer is the drummer Don Brewer. Rob Zombie does an awesome cover of this too!
Yep...I was born in 63'... you?

Grand Funk songs are bangers 💥💥. Rock on beautiful ladies ❤❤❤

Thanks
You should do their songs "Rock and Roll Soul" and "FootStompin' Music"
Excellent choice.
the lead singer is still singing today.💚🎸
The drummer has his own Grand Funk version of a band and Mark Farner has his own band. Split. Farner was "done wrong" by the rest of this band. I saw both versions of these bands in the same year.
Another Grand Funk song you should react to is Foot Stompin Music
Thank you ladies. I am an old rocker and I love your channel. If you are looking for another Grand Funk Railroad song, my fave has always been Some Kind of Wonderful. ( off topic but still music Warren Zevon Werewolves of London , could be a great reaction video.) Have a great day.
One question...Does Donna like the band? Lol 😂
Take me back to high school.......I like it!!!
These guys were alive act. They were great live.
I saw Grand Funk Railroad at the LA County Fairgrounds a while back, and were awesome
Cool
Really glad you all reacted to this!! I was fortunate to see them in 1974, 1975 (this tour), and their reunion tour in the 90s. Their fourth member by this point was Craig Frost on keyboards. They were truly amazing live!!!!! You all did a great reaction!!!!
Man we're they great live way back when lol.❤❤

You all need to do a grand reaction to "Hocus Pocus" by the funky Dutch band "Focus"!
Great idea!
@@marlenepettiford3731so many focus tracks!
Specifically the live video version from the 70's TV show The Midnight Special. That performance has gained huge recognition for it's uniqueness and spontaneity.

I wish you would also watch the promo video for this song. A little more personal view of GFR...Donna, what a hoot you are
Great family!
Thank you so much
Another 1970s song suggestion is Ted Nugent, Working Hard Playing Hard. Also another Ted Nugent song called The Great White Buffalo.
Mark Farner was a great frontman, but Don Brewer was my love in the band!
COWBELLS, COWBELLS we need more COWBELLS. BTO, Nazareth, Grand Funk, Blue Oyster Cult.😂

Led Zeppelin had them open for them at a show and refused to go on after watching them perform. Saying they couldn't match their performance.
True story!
