Coincidentally, AOL also said "Terry Knight" this morning...in an article
about rock managers. Here's what they had to say about Terry:
Terry Knight was a taste making radio DJ in Detroit when he formed Terry
Knight and the Pack in 1965 with Mark Farner and Don Brewer. A few years
after the band broke up; Knight got a job as a producer at Capitol Records.
He convinced his old buddies Farner and Brewer that if they formed a new
band and let him manage them, he could secure them a deal with the label.
The band was Grand Funk Railroad and yes...the rest is history. That is
until the band discovered Knight was skimming money. A two-year court
battle ensued that left Knight in dire straits. He dropped in and out of
drug use and jobs until he was stabbed to death by his daughters' boyfriend
in their shared apartment in Texas in 2004.
