Mr. Mark Farner, who wrote all the music on On Time, Grand Funk, Closer to Home, Survival, with the exception of cover songs ,The Animals "Inside Lookin' Out", and Dave Mason's"Feelin' Alright", and Stones "Gimme Shelter". Don Brewer coauthored a couple of songs on E Pluribus Funk with Farner.
Grand Funk Railroad's 2nd Album, Grand Funk , often called the Red Album, because of it's mostly red color, was the first to go gold in 1970. On Time, the 1st, went gold later on along with 11 others. The first 5 of 8 went platinum, with Closer To Home going platinum first in 1970.

A version of "The Locomotion" erroneously attributed to the Beach Boys was actually recorded in 1974 by Flint, Michigan rock band Grand Funk Railroad. One need only to listen to "Bad Time (to be in Love)" by Grand Funk [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_EFwZq6yrJA&feature=related] to realize that indeed, "Locomotion" was by them, and not the Beach Boys. Thanks for showing your musical taste :)

Mark Farner played with Terry Knight and The Pack, or just The Pack prior to Grand Funk Railroad. Mark started as the bass player, working himself up to guitar and vocals when Terry Knight left as the leader. Don Brewer also played in The Pack on drums. Terry Knight became GFR's producer, from ,"On Time" through "E Pluribus Funk" albums. When Knight left, the band became just, The Pack.
No!- Mark performed solo for a long time after disbanding GFR after the album, Good Singin', Good Playin' , in1976. GFR was playing in the early eighties, for a short time. Also, orig. GFR played together,( Mark Farner, Mel Schacher, and Don Brewer) in the mid 90's. Mel and Don wanted Mark to keep playing, but Mark reminded them that he would play 3 years and go back to a solo mode, and he did- Legal wrangling occurred, with Mark unknowingly signing over his rights to the Grand Funk Railroad name and Capital Records support. Don and Mel formed the new Grand Funk Railroad around 1999 or 2000, with a new lead singer, lead guitarist, and keyboard player. Thus, it took 3 people to replace Mr. Mark Farner. Mark still plays solo concerts with his NRG Band. He cannot advertise as GFR, only FORMERLY OF GFR, in capital letters, in front of his name or band .
