Notes:

Max Carl Gronenthal (born January 29, 1950 in Humphrey, Nebraska) is an American rock singer, keyboardist, guitarist and songwriter. He is the current lead singer of the classic rock band Grand Funk Railroad. In addition, he spent several years as the keyboardist and lead singer for the mainstream rock band 38 Special

In 1985 Max Carl recorded his third solo album. Unlike the first two solo albums released as Max Gronenthal, The Circle would be released under his stage name "Max Carl." The album's title track would be included on the soundtrack for the John Hughes film Weird Science. Later that same year, Carl was invited to join .38 Special, a request that he eventually accepted.
