Hi, everyone! This is Tony Orlando. This Saturday night’s special guest is MARK FARNER, former lead singer and co-founder of one of America’s truly great bands, GRAND FUNK RAILROAD! This band sold out Shea Stadium in three days and two nights at Madison Square Garden in just a few hours, which is an astonishing accomplishment! Not to mention millions of Gold and Platinum albums and singles! Mark Farner, the band’s lead singer, takes us on a grand funk railroad ride you don’t want to miss… from how the records were created and born with songs like “Some Kind of wonderful,” “Locomotion,” ”We’re An American Band,” and “I Am Your Captain”….and how Mark decided to give so much of his success back to our Vietnam Vets! He is an extraordinary man, singer, and songwriter. We will honor the great American band! Yes, Grand Funk along with many of America’s great bands such as THE EAGLES, BON JOVI, VAN HALEN, BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN, and the E STREET BAND… Just to name a few! So join me as we honor the Great American Bands on 77WABC, 10 pm-Midnight EST!
