I Always Have A Hankerin' To Listen To Sum BT Express

The thing about these guys is that they've always had one or two great tracks on their albums. The band formed in 1974 in good ole' Brooklyn, NY. Not to long after that they got signed to Scepter Records. Their first record "Do it Til Your Satisfied" went gold. The group's second single "Express" also went gold. In 1977 they signed with Columbia Records & recorded the following albums, "Shout It Out" & "Energy to Burn".
Brooklyn Borough President Howard Golden honored the group with a parade to Brooklyn's City Hall, where they were presented with a citation for their musical achievements and a proclamation declaring that day, B.T. EXPRESS DAY. ( B.T. stands for Brooklyn Transit).
They also got to performed for President Jimmy Carter and the White House staff...
