The Pack

Emerging from the same Flint, Michigan scene that produced ? and the Mysterians, Terry Knight & the Pack also earned their spot in local rock history as a launching pad for Grand Funk Railroad. Assembling the Pack after getting his start as a disc jockey, Knight cut a cover of the Yardbirds' "Better Man Than I," which became a local hit. Although "I Who Have Nothing" fell just shy of the national Top 40, the group enjoyed little success in the following years. In 1968, Knight -- later an A&R executive at Capitol -- formed Grand Funk, managing the group until his dismissal in 1972. ~ Jason Ankeny
