50-Year-Old Songs Top Ten: Im Your Captain/Closer to Home (#4)

Tweet

Laura is nearing us, and she's no lady. I was watching coverage of the damage in Arkansas last night. My friends in Louisiana lost power and trees. For a landlocked city Louisville's had a lot of brushes with hurricanes in recent years! But don't worry about that, sing along with this great classic tune...that's 50 years old now. #4: I'm Your Captain/Closer to Home - Grand Funk Railroad Man, what a song. They actually released this as a single, cutting its ten-minute length in half. I'll let JJ scream about that. This is a song that barely seems three minutes long. That's the mark of a great song. I'd probably rank this as my favorite GFR song. Definitely a great tune to celebrate 1970!
