My hometown boys from Winnipeg, Canada! Randy Bachman was in another Winnipeg group called the The Guess Who who wrote the song American Woman. Randy left the group and formed BTO. He and Fred Turner shared lead vocals. It is Fred singing lead on this song. As for genre it is rock but bands from the 60's and 70's blended a number of genres together. Music wasn't as pigeon holed as it is now. Blues, Jazz, country and even classical music were influences. Other BTO songs Blue Collar Looking out for number one Taking Care of Business Ain't seen nothing yet Not Fragile Rolling down the Highway Cheers 🇨🇦

The band confronted a trucker who boxed them in on the highway. The trucker said "Let it Ride". Song was made based on that line.

Randy Bachman was part of The Guess Who & then went on to have a solo career with BTO. Both were great Canadian rock bands. BTO had a lot of great songs in the 70's such as "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet", "Takin' Care Of Business", "Hey You", "Roll On Down The Highway", "Lookin' Out For #1" etc.

I'd be shocked if you haven't at least heard the hook from their songs 'Taking Care Of Business' and 'You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet'. Both songs have been used in movies and their hooks used in a lot of commercials over the years. Randy Bachman was previously in The Guess Who, also popular Canadian rock band among reactors. Another popular Canadian rock band among reactors is April Wine, particularly their "Roller" music video.
@maureenwagg53055 ай бұрын
Randy Bachman is usually singing lead but this gravelly voice is Fred Turner's (bass). Randy's brother Robbie Bachman is on drums and Blair Thornton, was also a member in the 70's, guitar, and Randy plays guitar as well. Tim Bachman was also playing with the band at one time as well. They are classic rock. They also play jazz. Try Blue Collar by BTO. It is really groovy.

At the time the Bee Gees had a song out called Mr. Natural which pre-dated their falsetto disco days-the following year they would start the falsetto voices on Nights On Broadway during the coda of the song-then go full blown falsetto afterwards changing their sound altogether.

I'm afraid you came into the theater halfway through the movie. Go further back with The Guess Who in the late 1960s. BTO came after Burton Comings went solo. Amicably. Try Laughing or American Woman by TGW and give his voice a listen. That'll give you more than a decade of hits.

#HOG in the house. Love your reactions and longtime sub. You don't know what you are saying when you say DISCO. I am over it and appreciate some disco, but the hatred between rockers and disco was intense. Probably similar too rap and how it portrayed itself and being exclusive from the rest of music. It could be the image of where rock came from in the 50's and early 60's with the style of fun, dancing, stage performances to what many perceived as the grown up rock and roll that was much more serious based and antiestablishment which was styled by growing hair for men, women not wearing bras and wearing jeans, hippies, protests, the music stretching the limits with electric guitars and woofers and sound systems to play it loud. Disco, in a sense, was a return to fun, club dancing music, with improved dance moves, more imaginative and creative with dressed up to show out, framed with all the glitzy surroundings of lighted dance floors, glittering globes. But one of the things that had started in rock, that many name bands like THE WHO, THE DOORS, and PINK FLOYD, and others, started to mix in synthesised music and keyboards that created sounds that some considered as taking away from musicians and the creativity in the craft. But overtime that became accepted as well. Just some thoughts.
