“Walk Like a Man” by Grand Funk Railroad

"Walk Like a Man" came off We're an American Band, Grand Funk Railroad's 1973 album on Capitol, as the follow-up to the title track, with Todd Rundgren producing the song just as he did the whole record. Don Brewer and Mark Farner wrote it together and share the vocals.

The credits show a band stacking the deck: Farner on guitar, acoustic guitar, electric piano and congas, Craig Frost working organ, piano, clavinet and Moog, Mel Schacher on bass and Brewer pounding the drums and percussion. It climbed to 19 on the Billboard Hot 100 and 16 in Canada in 1974, and Cash Box said the thing ran on high rock energy that caught the spirit of the group.
