From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bachman–Turner Overdrive[1] is a Canadian rock group from Winnipeg, Manitoba, that had a series of hit albums and singles in the 1970s, selling over 7 million albums in that decade alone. Their 1970s catalogue included five Top 40 albums and six U.S. Top 40 singles (ten in Canada). The band has sold nearly 30 million albums worldwide, and has fans affectionately known as "gearheads"[2] (derived from the band's gear-shaped logo). Many of their songs, including "Let It Ride", "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet", "Takin' Care of Business", "Hey You" and "Roll On Down the Highway", still receive play on classic-rock stations.
After the band went into a hiatus in 2005, Randy Bachman and Fred Turner reunited in 2009 to tour and collaborate on a new album. In 2010, they played the halftime show at the Grey Cup in Edmonton, AB and continue to tour as of summer 2014.
On March 29, 2014, the classic Not Fragile lineup reunited for the first time since 1991 to mark Bachman–Turner Overdrive's induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, and participated in performing in a tribute version of "Takin' Care of Business."

Whiskey Freeper, I am Very thankful that you post such Great music remembrances here!
Keep it up.
*it would be great it there was a way for nostalgic inclined Freepers to get together and meet in person at a related Freeper event, or online (multi-party Skype) to remember things of good old days. Anyone, let me know your thoughts, please.
There are Very Good people here.
I love BTO.
There, I said it.
They are a happy blast from the past.
Great group. I always enjoyed BTO.
Takin’care of business is a great song though I was sorry to see Office Depot run it into the ground using it for their commercials years ago.
Whoever wrote, ‘You ain’t seen nothing yet’, must a made a fortune in royalties.
Where is ‘Welcome Home’.....
Taking care of business and Ain’t seen nothing yet were ruined by overuse in commercials.
And now it seems every Who song is either used in a commercial or a TV-theme song.
In a year we may be hearing a lot of meet the new boss same as the old boss.
Wasn’t BTO known as Guess Who first? ‘American Woman’
No Time These Eyes Share the Land
Randy Bachman is a devout Mormon who never drank or did drugs, which pretty much went against the rest of the members of the Guess Who.
