BTO’s Randy Bachman tells all about ‘Takin’ Care Of Business’ origins
Bachman-Turner Overdrive released their iconic smash single “Takin’ Care Of Business.”You’ve likely heard the classic rock radio staple at countless NBA and NFL games or on TV in “The Wonder Years,” “The Simpsons,” “The Sopranos,” “Arrested Development” and commercials.However, the timeless track didn’t materialize overnight. In fact, it was originally called “White Collar Worker” and lingered in singer Randy Bachman’s proverbial drafts folder for six years, left over from his stint with The Guess Who.Then, lightning struck.“One night I’m driving to a gig in Vancouver and a guy comes on the radio station,” Bachman told the New York Post in an exclusive interview.
