Kurzbeschreibung:

Grand Funk Railroad ist eine 1968 gegründete US-amerikanische Rockband, die in den frühen 1970er Jahren zu den erfolgreichsten Vertretern dieser Musikrichtung in den USA zählte. Künstlerisch umstritten, von Zeitgenossen oft wegen eines wenig innovativen, effekthascherischen Stils kritisiert, hatte die Band in ihren ersten Jahren dennoch großen Erfolg und übertraf bei einem Konzert am 9. Juli 1971 im New Yorker Shea Stadium den sechs Jahre zuvor aufgestellten Einnahmerekord der Beatles.
