Grand Funk Railroad Members claimed that Terry Knight had ripped them off in a major fashion, thus taking most of their profits and money from the first 4 or 5 albums on Capitaol Records, plus concert revenues from the first 3 years. Mark Farner threatened to hurt Terry Knight if he didn't get more than a $350.00 a week check- After the E Pluribus Funk Album, GFR fired Terry Knight. He responed by suing GFR for millions and millions of dollars. Knight had a contract to present GFR to Capitopl Records. He got 10% of the action, While Mark , Don and Mel got 6% between them selves! Grand Funk survived with their name in court. They paid untold millions to Knight, and he owned Mark Farner's song rights to all the first 5 albums, thus taking GFR to the cleaners. GFR produced themselves after Knight, then hired Todd Rundgren to produce," We're An American Band" , which went Gold and to #1. The Locomotion went to #1 , subsequently, and GFR was doing the best of their carreer. They survived Terry Knight, and he fell into obscurity, never to find another GFR to make money from.
