Craig Frost (born April 20, 1948 in Flint, Michigan) was keyboardist for '70s rockers Grand Funk, who had a handful of massive hit singles and Craig also played in Bob Seger's band playing organ, synthesizer, piano, keyboard on Nine Tonight (1981) The Distance (1982) Like a Rock (1986) The Fire Inside (1991) Greatest Hits (1994) It's a Mystery (1995) and Craig also played in an Ohio band called the Godz. Though the band was formed as Grand Funk Railroad in 1968 by singer/guitarist Mark Farner, bassist Mel Schacher and drummer Don Brewer, Frost wasn't added as keyboardist until the band's eighth album, Phoenix (1972).

In 1974, Grand Funk released the more pop-based Shinin' On, which included another chart-topper in their cover of Little Eva's "The Locomotion." Grand Funk's version marked only the second time in history that a remake of a #1 song hit the top.


All the Girls in the World — Beware!! (1974), which spawned the #3 "Some Kind of Wonderful," was the last hit album for Grand Funk. They announced their split in 1976 but reconsidered and came back later that year with the Frank Zappa-produced Good Singin', Good Playin'.
