Most underrated Grand Funk Railroad song

Bluesy rock ballad with a good beat.  When I was a kid in the early 90s, I found this song on the B-side of a 45 record.  I thought it was good back then, and I still think its good.

I don't know what song you have in your link (youtube blocked at work) but the most under rated Grand Funk song is "Inside Looking Out".

T.N.U.C had the best drums going for it.
I'm your Captain had heart.
Mark, Don and Mel was the best Album.
American Band was good also.

GF is pretty much underrated period. They should be revered as one of the best of the old 60's -70's rock bands.

1980 My Sister took all my albums to a pawn shop.. while I was overseas...  for $1.00 each she wasted my entire collection to get a buzz.

Lost all of my GFR, Alice Cooper, Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Jefferson Airplane, Cream, Buffalo Springfield, America, Who, Uriah Heap, Yes, CSN&Y, Neil Young, Croce....ect... and most of my Rare Earth and Beatles...  I still have my Beatles White Album.

I was wondering what the "underrated' part could be when I read this.

never seen the band before, but I heard a lot of this song (older sis hogging the record player) on a 45 RPM record back in the 70's.

good song but don't know about what they are wearing.
I want to say how fine that one chick looks. but she looks kind of like my sis in the 70's
:confused: now I think I'm gonna be sick. yuck. :huh

I was always kinda partial to TIME MACHINE (skip to 1:10 to avoid BS intro)

Michigan has never forgotten them.   I grew up to their music, also to another underrated band from Michigan, Motor City 5 (or MC5).  

From what I have been told is that one of the all time best bands to see live, were Grand Funk and the MC5 as well.
