“Roll On Down The Highway” is great, “Let It Ride” is even better!! Also “Takin’ Care Of Business” is great!! Randy Bachman is from the Guess Who (American Woman)
I would have suggested Let It Ride too.
Was just about to suggest Let It Ride. Great minds lol. Of course TCOB isn't too shabby either.
@@RicoBurghFan , yes, TCOB is fun, Let It Ride is more complex and a good rocker!
Let it Ride is an absolute MUST!! Their best song.
The IronHorse LP has some of my favorite songs on it.
Bachman Turner Overdrive hit "Taking Care of Business" is a must listen
Definitely
Can't believe they haven't done it yet!!😮
Yes 100 times 100!
That was my baseball at bat walk up music!!
"Takin' Care of Business" was my go-to jam on karaoke night back in the day.
"Aint Seen Nothing Yet" and "Takin' Care of Business" are their two biggest. This is a good selection.
"Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" is a favorite. It's so catchy!
Shotgun Rider
Give Me Your Money Please
Not Fragile
@@avidrdr5640 One of the 3 stutter songs that hit number 1.
I heard a story that he sang " Ain't Seen... as a bad joke because his brother stuttered, so he sang it like his brother would for a laugh. The producers loved it.
💯
Randy Bachman is still a class act. On Mothers Day, he offered this Twitter message: "Happy Mother's Day today to all of you who care for others. There are all sorts of ways to mother that are not related to biology or bloodlines. So for all of you who help and nurture, be good to yourself and know that you matter and your influence makes a difference. My own mother paved the way for my success in so many ways."
So very blessed to have grown up in this era with this music
I'm forever grateful for that myself!
We sure are!
Amen brother! 👍🏻
I would say Not too Shabby lol. But now I'm A born again believer in the Lord Jesus Christ I use this is a plat form. I know the Lord Jesus Christ has forgiving the whole worlds sins past present and future. Because he died on the cross for all of mankind. But only if you put ALL YOUR TRUST IN HIM AND IN HIM ALONEI have so much peace knowing I'm going to be in Heaven with him and so can you don't have to go to Hell for ever. we all deserve Hell. But he nailed all our sins to the cross If you put all your trust in him and in him ALONE. This is the best news you will ever hear.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this before but Randy Bachman was one of the founding members of The Guess Who and co-wrote many of their songs as well.
A shame that Randy Bachman isn't in the Rock N Roll HOF.
Jay/Amber, you'll love their "Taking Care Of Business" !!! A banger with some sweet piano playing!
They sure will! Also "Rock is my life, and this is my song".
Back in my day
BACHMAN-TURNER OVERDRIVE
They were the band
Rob squad react to
"TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS"
"LET IT RIDE"
"HEY YOU"
"YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET"
Just to name a few that's a good start
Keep up the good work Rob squad
🙏🏾❤️✌🏼💯
Oh yes! Nothing but classics! 👌
All of them are great! "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" I haven't heard in awhile but, I will now. 😀
Second Hand is another good one.
When you are a 10 year old Canadian boy and you're riding your bike and hearing this song, life is good. That was me. 😊
I was right there with you @bruceolie8644 :)
……..just get home when the street lights come on………lol…..
No way you can stay under the speed limit playing this song in the car. Back in the 70's, BTO was one of my go to groups on the car 8-track. This song aways got cranked up.
Strong agree on the car 8-track!
AGREED!!! In my 68 Camero, rolling on down the highway!!!! 😎
I still have my 8 track copy of Not Fragile somewhere. My Camaro was a sweet '69 SS 396.
Fred Turner really adds to the vocals here. Such a blue collar ballsy voice. I wish BTO featured his vocals more but "LET IT RIDE" is another with him on vocals.
Yes, another great song.
So true Fred Turner was overlooked a lot especially when you have Randy and Robbie Bachmann as well as Tim Bachmann in the band that's a lot of Bachmann's to compete with.
@@mamaflush9945 Tim Bachman was let go after they hit it big with their second album. Fred Turner was the lead vocalist on most of the more popular Bachman Turner Overdrive recordings.
@@BobSoltis1 Okay? What does that have to do with what I said??
@@mamaflush9945 Interesting thing is besides recognizing Randy Bachman's guitar chops there was a lot of respect amongst British rock bands for Fred Turner's talents and more than one tried to court him.
"Taking Care of Business," is one of their many hits, a big, rockin' party anthem.
Man, 8-track flashback! Had "Not Fragile" and "Four Wheel Drive" cranked in my Craig 8-track deck in my car going back and forth to high school.
Why can't you do something right your name is all over the town 🤘
You and me both….in my ‘68 Mustang 👍
Me too! I had enough left over after buying my 70 Ford Maverick to buy a tank of gas, some beer, a Craig 8 track player and a few 8 tracks!
Another great Canadian artist BTO had a string of great rockin' hits throughout the 70's....check out any of these....Not Fragile, Hey You, or Quick Change Artist, lead guitarist and lead vocalist Randy Bachman (former guitarist of The Guess Who) is a very gifted and underrated performer.
Peace and love to all and Happy Victoria Day weekend to all Csnadians...
🙏❤️😎🇨🇦
Yesssssssss.... great band for the Canadian May two four weekend!!!! Happy Victoria Day to my fellow Canucks!!! ☺🍁
Randy Bachman was not the lead vocalist. Fred Turner was the lead vocalist of Bachman Turner Overdrive.
@BobSoltis1 randy bachman and fred turner actually split the duties of lead vocalist...appreciate the comment. 👍👍
@@garryleblanc4002 With Turner singing lead vocals on the vast majority their songs. Randy has stated numerous times he is not really a good singer and only sang to give Turner a break.
@BobSoltis1 Duly noted, however, Bachman's lead vocal songs became BTO's best selling hits....Not to take away from Fred Turner's vocals at all. Just my opinion..
"Let It Ride" & "Taking Care of Business" are 2 other great songs by BTO!!!
Am I right in thinking they did "My wheels won't turn"? or is my memory failing me?
@@clivenewman4810 ...No...lol, it's not failing you!! Yes, they did that song also, although I do have to say, I am not familiar with it. czcams.com/video/qa4mNx7CXmE/video.html
@@trudydavidson528 Haven't heard it for so many years.
One of the best guitarist in Canada
A friend had a Chevy Nova with a supercharged small block and we used to cruise to this song. 70's were the best!
Had a fried with a Nova and another with a challenger. We could sneak three kinds into the drive-in in the trunk…. And it was comfortable (well maybe not comfortable but roomy)
Kids
The son of the Bachman portion of BTO was a one hit wonder in the 90s and is worth checking out. Tal Bachman "She's So High"
There were two Bachmans in BTO (Randy and Robbie) At one time there were three (Tim). And in the formative years (Brave Belt) brother Gary was the manager . Tal was Randy's son.
Wow, never made that connection. Thanks for the information! I did like that song.
I loved "She's So High!"
Besides "Takin' Care of Business"--which has been used in countless commercials, there's also "Let It Ride" "Hey You" and "Four Wheel Drive"
When my buddy and I were 23 yrs old and taking a 3 week road trip out west in the VW Beetle, this tune and Taking Care of Business were real road songs!. Like "Radar Love"! OK Dad! Dirty shirts goes with the territory. Here we go! The Big Horn Mts are getting closer! Whoo hoo! Grand Canyon! Zion! Yellowstone! Down the highway! Thank you so much! Great reaction.
BTW RIP to the drummer, Robbie Bachman,and the guitarist/gravel throated vocalist, Robbie's brother, Tim. Lost them both in the past few years. ❤🙏😪💔💔
BTO was from my high school days in the early 70s.
IIRC Robbie passed away this past January and Tim was a few weeks ago
More like the past few months.
@@scotty110 Brother Gary (early band manager and the one who stuttered, see You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet) died in 2020
Good choice.
If I'm not mistaken Robby wrote this song along with Fred.
BTO is one of the 1970's classic rock go-to bands. 🙂 Other BTO hits to add to your rockin' pleasure are "Taking Care of Business", "Hey You" (another cowbell banger!), "Let It Ride", and "Gimmee Your Money Please". Fred Turner has one of the toughest voices ever in rock 'n' roll. The band got a lot of airplay on rock stations back in the day & you're discovering why. 🙂
Randy Bachman on guitar also with The Guess Who. Two fantastic bands with a totally different style, he is a true master on that guitar.
"I'd like to have a jet but it's not in the song", one of my favorite song lines of all time. Will be smiling the rest of the night. Thanks.
Beat me to it :)
Blue Collar probably has Randy’s best guitar work. It is really incredible.
That's my favorite BTO song.
This band was the first rock concert I ever went to, August 28th, 1974, at the CNE Grandstand in Toronto. It was a long time ago but I still remember how good they were. Randy Bachman was one of the members of The Guess Who before leaving to start BTO. I saw him play with Burton Cummings last summer and he can still play a mean guitar for a man pushing 80.
I saw them around 75 or 76? The warm up bands were Kansas, Extasy, Passion and Pain and Trooper. Fantastic show and went right out and bought their Not Fragile album.
He actually started a different band before BTO. The short lived but excellent 'Ironhorse'. I bought the album back then, it had 2 awesome songs and the rest were okay as well mostly. 'Symphony' and 'What's Your Hurry Darlin''. Cheers.
@@rmacdougallaliasdogviticus You learn something every day.
Im so glad to hear they're performing together again! lol when I saw them both, they were playing the same blues fest, but on different nights because they werent talking at the time.
The day my wife was born
This is only your second one? You NEED to hear "Takin' Care of Business."
Thank you for showing some love to Canada again! Now it is time for some more Canadian greatness with Blue Rodeo and "Try"!
Tragically Hip?
@@lunadyana3330 They did a slow Hip song and he wasn't a fan. Sadly it may have tainted their view of one of the greatest Canadian bands
@@lunadyana3330 He likes it hard so I would also suggest 'The Headstones". They have a very good library of hard rocking tunes
Big Sugar. Jordan will love Nicotina and Turn The Lights On
@@6916dog Good call on Big Sugar. I saw them recently and they are still kicking ass live.
An old band I always liked back in the 90's was 54-40 as well.
I did a lot of stage security back then for Canadian festivals.
You all gotta experience blasting this tune as you actually drive down a desert highway, it will never sound better. ✌️
Love that group! Other great songs of theirs are Hey You, Let It Ride, Taken Care Of Business, and Gimmie Your Money Please.
LOVED BTO!! RANDY WAS AN UNDERRATED GUITARIST! He played almost genre! Check out Blue Collar, he did some nice blusey/jazz licks...but when it was time to rock, HE FRIGGIN ROCKED!! His brother held down the drums too!!
@Don’t call me Angie I get it, it's just that I haven't heard anything in a LOOOOONG time.
'Blue Collar' is my favourite and the one at the Roseland Ballroom is when they were older and better yet. Incredible
@@aaronstandingbear I think it's my favorite also...not sure because it's hard to pick! I think it depends on what mood I'm in.
And don't forget about Fred Turner's great vocals. Blue Collar is a departure from their usual style, but is an excellent song
@@aaronstandingbear Just Fred Turner and Randy Bachman from the original band in the Roseland Ballroom Show. Randy does have a great backing band in Marc Lafrance, Mick Dalla-Vee, Brent Howard and more recently Tal Bachman.
Randy Bachman was a member of The Guess Who before BTO. If you think this was good (it is) you gotta hear Let It Ride and Takin’ Care Of Business. Much love and don’t worry about that boy getting your shirt dirty. ❤😊
Love BTO!!! One of the best bands of the 70's!!! Try "Let It Ride" and "Takin Care Of Business". Can't even say enough about this band!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Check out Ian Dury and the Blockheads. Hit Me With Your Rhythm Stick. It has a saxophone 🎷🎷
Now the Bass player, Fred Turner, is lead singer on this one. Randy Bachman was lead on You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet.
For this old man, sure I love the hits of BTO that your other viewers are suggesting, my favorite from them hasn't been mentioned. "Looking Out for Number One" has been my first choice for 40 years. It really displays their musicianship better and for me, the lyrics hold a special meaning.
Yes! That is a great one
BTO... a proud Canadian band who had very good success. The two songs you've done come from their album "Not Fragile"... also on there is the title song "Not Fragile" and "Blue Moanin'" which are worth a listen. The album before... BTO II gave us "Let It Ride" and "Takin' Care Of Business". The album after, BTO Four Wheel Drive, gave us "Four Wheel Drive" and "Hey You". Good, solid, Canadian Rock at its finest!
Randy Bachman played the classic opening riff on “American Woman” by The Guess Who, a song that you still haven’t listened to a proper version of by the way.
czcams.com/video/9uf6EY2BZBw/video.html
Another Great Canadian Band, check out - You Aint seen Nothing Yet
They are back together and playing in Vancouver at the Pacific National Exibition this summer in mid August....they still are Rocking down the highway
Yeah, Randy was a founding member of the guess who. He's the one who wrote "No Sugar Tonight", among others. Grew up on these guys. I second the call the for "Let it Ride" and "Takin' Care of Business"
No Sugar Tonight has an interesting back story.Randy was being robbed in LA and the mugger's girlfriend came along and told him if you do then "No Sugar Tonight".
Blair Thornton on lead guitar 🎸
Let It Ride is my favorite, they were also from Canada 🇨🇦
This is necessary for any serious road trip playlist
Both Randy and Blair played lead guitar on "Roll on Down the Highway". The album "Not Fragile" was Blair's debut as a member of BTO.
Randy Bachman was the guitarist for the Guess Who, which had a slew of great songs, including American Woman and These Eyes. BTO was top of the pops when I was in middle school, especially Let It Ride. Any of these songs would be worth your while.
Jay would love Not Fragile due to the bass riffs, Let it Ride is one of my favorites, and Takin' Care of Business was one of their biggest hits.
Turner is one of my all time favorite bass players.
I saw them live back in the 80’s.
He played his solo with drumsticks!!!!
He's a very underrated bass player,
@@bloppysloppy4057 When Randy left the band Fred took over on guitar, presumably because that's where he started. I saw that version of BTO opening for Heart at a sold out show at McNichols Sports Arena here in Denver. Fred looked a touch uncomfortable on the guitar IMO. But it was a fantastic set which included songs from the Street Action CD with a guest sax player. Fred's voice is one of the greatest of all time..
Let It Ride is another BANGER!
Yes, it is!!
BTO are Canadian icons. I didn't catch the name of the first song you reacted to but they got a good catalogue for you to dig into. Randy Bachman on guitars his brother Robbie on drums Fred Turner on bass and the other guitar player is Blair Thornton. Randy learn some guitar from Lenny breau and went on to form the Guess Who with Burton Cummings.. another band you should definitely check out if you haven't already.👍 . From BTO, Taking Care of Business. Four-wheel Drive and for some of Randy's Jazz influences from Lenny, checkout Blue Collar. As for the Guess Who, These Eyes, and No Sugar are two that come to mind. As always, keep up the good work.🍻🇨🇦
Randy Bachman was a major part of the Guess Who, both lyrically and musically, but he started with medical issues which impacted his touring ability and he was replaced in 1970. After his medical issues were addressed he started his own band. BTO in 1973 which included his brothers Robbie Bachman and Tim Bachman and Fred Turner.
Randy Bachman such a great talent. Founded two multi-hit successful bands; The Guess Who and BTO. Randy is the killer guitar player.
They were amazing in concert! Played for hours no other groups before them! Oh Canada!
Randy Bachman on all the lead guitars Fred Turner on the growly vocals unfortunately we lost two Bachmann Brothers over the past year or so only one left is Randy and if you're really like to jam check out their song Not Fragile these guys played at a block party where I used to live while back it was crazy good show
Best song to jam to when you're flying down the highway or roller-skating in the 70s & 80s!! :)
Bad ass band🤘❤️ love the screaming guitars from the 70’s like what Foghat brings to the table
They are the ultimate Canadian 70s rock band
when I used to work out regularly, when I was younger, this song on my ipod was always my highest intensity on the elliptical because it just motivated me to push it! BTO is a hugely underrated Canadian Band and they are awesome!
Yessss definitely next "Let it Ride" and "Takin' Care of Business" for sure! Awesome jams by BTO!!!
I saw them live back in the 70s with my now husband. Absolutely awesome concert!
Now THAT is classic BTO. I don't know what you listened to before, but if I were you I'd check out Four Wheel Drive, Not Fragile, and Let it Ride to start with. You won't be disappointed. 👍
I've been a big Guess Who fan since I was in elementary school, and when they disbanded was surprised to see Randy Bachman take his new band (BTO) in this direction. Of course, I'm a fan of theirs as well.
Randy Bachman (formerly with The Guess Who) lead guitar, Fred Turner lead vocals, bass guitar, Robbie Bachman (Randy's brother) on drums. Tim Bachman, another brother was in the band for a while too, but i am certain that's Blair Thornton in the picture who is an excellent guitar player as well (replaced Tim). Robbie Bachman and Fred Turner wrote this song. Robbie passed away in January of 2023.
I was a supervisor at a commecial truck scale in my younger years.
I listened to this song a lot back then. I was the guy that got them started "Rollin' down the highway."
Mad respect to the truckers. It's not an easy job or life.
Back in 1994 my buddy and I joined in with over a thousand other guitarists and jammed "Takin' Care Of Business" for an hour with B.T.O. setting a world record at the time. Later that day we got a guitar lesson from the amazing Jennifer Batten on 'tapping techniques' at the Music West Conference. What a great day!... Still lot's of untapped tunes from these guys. 'Let it Ride' might be my favorite of them you can check out but they had a lot of hit songs. Randy Bachman came from one of Canada's Top Bands called 'The Guess Who' and after they split he formed a short lived band called 'Ironhorse', check out 'Ironhorse - Symphony' or 'Ironhorse - What's Your Hurry Darling'. Both great tunes. Cheers.
Never heard this!!!! Cant imagine why. LOVED IT. That was fabulous 👌 👏 ❤
Yes, “Taking Care of Business” is a must MUST listen, probably their biggest hit!!
My very first concert was BTO 50 years ago. They rocked the house
BTO is often ranked in the top five of Canada's greatest music groups, becoming one of my home country's first genuine rock bands. Often collaborating with The Guess Who, they are immortal souls in the Great White North. You'd be hard-pressed to listen to a Canadian rock station without hearing these guys. Y'all need to hear "Taking Care of Business" and "Let It Ride". BTO is one rare band where pretty much the entire band has stayed together, with no messy break-ups or grandiose disputes. BTO was all about rocking, and this song shows it. You guys keep on rocking, Rob Squad!
One of the great overlooked guitar riffs of all time. Great song!
The bass line underneath makes it that much better.
A true R&R Shredder! It brings back memories---Headed to the city for a concert, windows down in the '70 Chevelle, flip BTO into the 8-track and left lane all the way up the interstate. Hit the coliseum wide open with long hair stickin' out of your head like you had licked a light socket.
OMG 3:08 , your comment had me lmao , brings back memories cruising down the highway with the T-Tops off in my camaro and blasting this song , Move out boys, this car is a manual and has 4 more gears to go and another 3000 rpm left , let's get ready to race 🤪🤪, the 70's Chevelle was a awesome car 🍷🍷🇨🇦
@@bobwirth9256 I would probably give up my eyeteeth to have it back.
@agneslong2323 yes I can relate, had a couple I wish I kept ,one being a Duster , had many memories in that car, probably a good thing cars can't tell stories tho 🤣
@@bobwirth9256 I have a friend with a '69 Barracuda Mod Top olive green that he bought off the showroom floor. I drove it many times myself in the '70s. He is in his mid-seventies now and still takes it out occasionally. Probably less than 1,000 made. Certainly the only one that I have ever seen on the road.
@agneslong2323 yes no better feeling than driving the old muscle cars of that era of time.
This is the band Randy Bachman started after he left the Guess Who in 1970. It included his brothers, Fred Turner, & later Blair Thornton. They could rock!✌️❤️🎶
I think this one is their best. Great guitar riff. High energy.
Another of their hits in the same vein as this one is 'Let It Ride.' If you like 'Let It Roll On Down the Highway' I think you'll enjoy 'Let It Ride.'
Incredible band! The songs suggested in the previous comments are all awesome. Oddly enough, one of my favorites of theirs was "Blue Collar" which was sort of a jazzy/bluesy departure from the norm. There's a whole lot of talent in that band!
As a drummer mysel...BTO always had great sounding drums and Randy had a great take on playing drums. He didn't sound like anybody else but himself. RIP Robbie.
A great drivin' tune. Roll the windows down and crank the volume. BTO knew how to rock.
These guys were the sound track to my summer in 1973-4! I loved them, and loved that they were Canadian! Plus, they rocked so much harder than The Guess Who!
Peace
Ya'll just make smile! Thanks for keeping great music alive!
Me smile
Two members of the band passed away recently, drummer Robbie Bachman and original rhythm guitarist Tim Bachman ( his replacement Blair Thornton plays on this track). Lead guitarist Randy Bachman and bassist/lead singer Fred Turner get together occasionally to do gigs as Bachman & Turner - Robbie owned the rights to the BTO name.
i am canadian. i grew up withthese guys. glad you found BTO and randy b.
There you go: Winnipeg's rockingest! "Takin' Care of Business" and "Let it Ride" are big hits, but "Not Fragile" and "She's a Devil" are album tracks that deserved the airplay they once received.
They have so many great songs. You should do Wild Spirit and Sledgehammer just to name a few. A few other good ones are Don't Get Yourself In Trouble, Stay Awake All Night and Take It Like A Man ( which Little Richard plays keyboard on.)
RIP Robbie Bachman, Tim Bachman, and Jim Clench. Rock On. Love the channel Rob and Amber.
My brother used to sing this song to the family parrot...they would sing Roll...roll...roll...together! 😆
I would follow-up with "Let it Ride".
Best tune by this band is "Gimmee Your Money Please". Actually, their best performance ever is when they were part of "The Guess Who" in the album "Live at the Paramount".
Yes, "Gimme your money please" is another example of Fred Turners gravelly voice. Great tune, check it out!
Randy had left The Guess Who by the time of Live At The Paramount, and his replacement was Kurt Winter. But that album is definitely The Guess Who at their best.
@@russallert Are you sure? I believe "Live at the Paramount" was recorded in 1971. I suppose I'm gonna have to look it up.
It’s like you can feel yourself blaring this song rolling down the highway at 100 mph.
My all-time favorite BTO tune is Sledgehammer which was on their great Not Fragile album which was released in the mid-70's. Me and my neighborhood buddies would blast it on my parents' old console stereo in our basement....we wore out the grooves on that album. BTO and Bad Company were my early favorites and then Boston and Foreigner hit the scene during my junior year of high school.
You made my day reacting to this one! Vocalist on this song is the bassist Fred Turner, who's definitely got a lot more power in his pipes than Randy Bachman. If you want to do a BTO deep dive, may I suggest Gimme Your Money Please, Sledgehammer, or Away From Home? So much good stuff from this band.
BTO is some great early 70s guitar rock!!! I got some speeding tickets back in tbe day in my muscle car with BTO blasting theough the speakers!!! Oh yes! Miss those days. You gotta hear more BTO!!!
The first nighttime concert we drove to ourselves after I got my driver’s license back in 19-yada yada!” My best pal Kevin said he thought they’d open with this one, and they did and it was amazing! This is one band that sounds exactly the same live as they did on the records…great in concert…
GREAT CANADIAN BAND FROM WINNIPEG MAN. RANDY BACHMAN LEFT THE GUESS WHO TO FORM BTO WITH FRED TURNER AND HIS BROTHER ROBBIE BACHMAN. THEY HAD QUITE A FEW BIG HITS-TAKIN CARE OF BUSINESS, HEY YOU, LET IT RIDE, ROCK IS MY LIFE, BLUE COLLAR AND THE JAZZY SOUNDING LOOKING OUT FOR #1,
...and a million voices cried out
"HE STOPPED IT DURING THE SOLO!"
My tweens were wrapped up in one band...Bachman Turner Overdrive. From 12 onto still today. Love me some Randy B...
Randy Bachman - Was from the Guess Who - These Eyes - was their 1st big hit. and after that the RCA company wanted another ballad but they wanted to do rock. As explained in the medley - ( Bachman Cummings - These Eyes, Laughing, Undun & No time.) on CZcams - After a string of hits , Randy moved on to Bachman Turner Overdrive and now you are getting more of the rock.
Hi Rob squad..the drummer Rob Bachman passed away a short while ago..but yes this band is a Canadian group..Fred Turner who played bass was the vocalist..check em out more..great stuff
BTO!!!!!!! has an amazing drive, and are fantastic live.
This song is a real rocker and was a pretty big hit for them. Hard to believe their record company didn't think this song had hit potential. The gravelly voiced guy is C.F. Turner, the Turner part of Bachman Turner Overdrive.
This group was our go-to dance music when I was in my early 20's!!! My best friend and I busted up on Christmas morning when we were opening our presents...and had bought each other the SAME album!!!
Fred Turner on vocals here. 🎉
Other Songs

Blue Collar
You Ain't seen nothing yet.
BTO are fro. my hometown of Winnipeg, Canada 🇨🇦 ❤
My sisters and brother are older than me ( I am 49) They LOVED this band and song, and I grew up on BTO. My oldest sibling, my bro, is well over 60 now. It was well before my time, but they still played me all the greats.
"Takin' Care of Business" is the BTO signature song. "Let It Ride" and "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" are two other essential BTO tunes.
Not Fragile was the first album I ever bought, still have it. My all time favorite band. Saw them several years ago with Burton Cummings as a special guest, double whammy, Guess Who and BTO, awesome fun evening
Pure Canadian 70s rock. Bachmann's formerly Guess Who. Another 60s 70s Canadian killer band!
