Flint: A Forgotten City Creates Unforgettable Stars

By: Embry, Marty

Flint has produced an almost supernatural concentration of talent that defies categorization. We're talking about a city that gave the world Grand Funk Railroad's arena-shaking rock anthems, the smooth sophistication of The Spinners with Ron and Marvin, and the raw authenticity that launched careers from the Rust Belt to Hollywood. We've got comedians who can make you laugh until your sides hurt, actors gracing screens both big and small, musicians spanning every conceivable genre, and performers who invented genres we didn't know we needed.

And yes, before you ask-this is the same Flint that's produced an almost absurd number of professional athletes (hello, NFL. MLB, WNBA, NBA folks) and brilliant academics who've changed how we think about everything from medicine to social justice. But those stories are for another book, another day. Today, we celebrate the dreamers, the storytellers, the rhythm-makers, and the joke-tellers.
