EXACTLY! The very best recipes are only amazing if you have the most necessary ingredients. The recipe that was Grand Funk is now just BLAND JUNK! Mel And Don are a nuthin without the man behind it all. I so happy to see Farner sounding just truly fu**ing amazing! He deserves all the the love and attention for giving us the catalog of music he has written. He doesn't need those guys or the G.F title even though it should be his. We all know what the real deal is!!

Mark Farner is/was Grand Funk Railroad. It’s his voice, guitar playing, instrument playing and songs he wrote that got them on top. Shame on Don “Screwer” for his deceitfulness when he was voted out of the band. God Bless Mark Farner!

Seen Mark play 13 times in the last 20 yrs. Always a great show, the highlight of our lives those summers. My wife and I and my cousin and his wife usually go together. I've had the honor of meeting him several times, had my picture taken with him twice (three times for my wife), and once caught a harmonica he threw to the crowd, which he also signed for me! He is just a real class act, down to earth and has a kind heart. A national treasure!

Mark had such a distinct voice and sound in GF. Here he is at 73, all in tact, passion and all. After singing professionally virtually non-stop for 50+ years, he still has the same range and tone after all that time and use. I do miss his original GF guitar tone, not the more homogenous modern one in this video. He had that slicing, percussive, just on the edge of out of control tone, that he worked perfectly (and that worked perfectly for him). It was one of a kind, like a fingerprint, so distinct like his voice.

Mark's compositions, lyrics and voice so perfectly defines the era and the movement that represented America's youth and their hopes and dreams so long ago. Through Mark's music I've managed to ignore the increasingly ominous signs of the times that signal the coming end of this era. I fear the day we can no longer hear Mark play Closer to Home will be the official end of an era that began in 1969. On that day I will cut off my thinning gray ponytail, pack up my blue jeans, tie-dyed T-shirts and head bands and thank Mark for over 50 years of peace, love and especially the hope that his music inspired. Music that so perfectly defined a most epic period in American history. What a long strange trip it's been and what a gift to have lived and shared this period with Mark and his music. I am truly blessed. God Bless you Mark, you've brought us all closer to home🙂

Using a TRW Skip trace machine as a bill collector in CT I chased down Terry Knight in MI and we cornered the bad boy who had financially broken the team of genius musicians in 1983 or 1984 where he was hiding out somewhere. I called his neighbors and pegged him down with his debts to Farner and the Group. He was the major racketeer who burned them, Mr. Phillips. Mark is the greatest American Rock performer even passing Hendrix.

Mark Farner, you are Grand Funk Railroad and you alone will ALWAYS be Grand Funk Railroad, regardless of what the others may do. Without you, they are nothing...no matter who they get to sing the songs. You cannot be replaced because you are the heart and soul of GFR and I am so appreciative of what you have done over the entire scope of your career. Your music has meant a lot to me.
