Grand Funk Railroad was formed as a trio in 1969 by Mark Farner and Don Brewer from Terry Knight and the Pack and Mel Schacher from Question Mark & the Mysterians . Terry Knight , after being approached by Brewer, soon became the band’s manager and also named the band originally “Grand Trunk Railroad” as a play on words for the Grand Trunk Western Railroad , a well-known rail line in Michigan. The railroad objected to using their name, and the band was forced to change the name to Grand Funk Railroad.
