This disco group was created by Jeff Lane in NYC during the 1970s. They were originally called King Davis House Rockers, followed by the Brooklyn Trucking Express. The roster consisted of Bill Risbrook, Dennis Rowe, Rick Thompson, Carlos Ward, Michael Jones, Wesley Hall, Leslie Ming, Louis Risbrook, and Barbara Joyce Lomas. Their debut album Do it (‘Til You’re Satisfied) had two number-one R&B and Top 10 hits. Later LPs included two more R&B Top 10 singles, Give It What You Got/Peace Pipe (1975) and Can’t Stop Groovin’ Now, Wanna Do It Some More (1976). After 1977’s Shout It Out, which peaked on the R&B Top 20 at number 12, the group had less success with the next album Shout! The Express made a small comeback in 1980 with B.T. Express 1980, though only the single Give Up the Funk (Let’s Dance) made it into the Top 40. We recommend starting your B.T. Express vinyl LP collection with the exceptional albums Do it (‘Til You’re Satisfied) and Non Stop.

B.T. Express: A Journey Through Funk and Soul

The Genesis of B.T. Express

B.T. Express, a funk and soul band hailing from Brooklyn, New York, emerged onto the music scene in the early 1970s. The group’s name is derived from the initials of its principal members, founding members Bill Risbrook (tenor saxophone), Jeff Lane (trumpet), and the charismatic lead vocalist Barbara Joyce Lomas. The band’s distinctive sound and energetic performances quickly garnered attention, making them a notable force in the funk and soul genre.

The Early Years and Breakthrough

Formation and Lineup

B.T. Express was formed in 1972 and initially included skilled musicians such as Dennis Rowe (drums), Jamal Rasool (congas), Louis Risbrook (bass), and Herb Lane (guitar). Their eclectic lineup, a blend of seasoned musicians and fresh talent, contributed to the unique sound that would set them apart in the crowded music scene of the time.

Energy to Burn (1976)

One of the band’s early albums, “Energy to Burn” (1976), showcased their ability to seamlessly fuse funk, soul, and disco elements. The title track, “Energy to Burn,” is a standout, with its infectious rhythm and horn-driven melodies. The album demonstrated B.T. Express’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of their sound, setting the stage for their future endeavors.

B.T. Express Albums: A Sonic Evolution

Do It (‘Til You’re Satisfied) (1974)

B.T. Express’s debut album, “Do It (‘Til You’re Satisfied)” (1974), was a groundbreaking release that not only introduced the band to the world but also became a landmark in funk and soul music. The album’s title track, a ten-minute groove-filled odyssey, topped the Billboard R&B chart and crossed over to mainstream success. The success of this album solidified B.T. Express as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry.

Non-Stop (1975)

Following the success of their debut, B.T. Express released “Non-Stop” in 1975. This album continued the band’s exploration of funk and soul, featuring tracks like “Peace Pipe” and “Non-Stop.” The latter, with its infectious rhythm and dynamic arrangements, became a fan favorite and a staple in the band’s live performances.

Have Some Fun (1976)

“Have Some Fun” (1976) showcased B.T. Express’s versatility by incorporating elements of disco into their signature sound. The title track, along with songs like “Funky Music” and “Close to You,” added a danceable dimension to their repertoire. This album further expanded their fan base and demonstrated the band’s ability to evolve with the changing musical landscape.

Function at the Junction (1977)

In 1977, B.T. Express released “Function at the Junction,” an album that continued to showcase their prowess in crafting infectious grooves. The title track, along with “This Must Be the Night for Love” and “Just Can’t Stop Dancing,” exemplified the band’s ability to maintain their distinct sound while incorporating contemporary influences.

Influences and Inspirations

Similar Bands: The Ohio Players

B.T. Express shares similarities with other funk and soul contemporaries, such as The Ohio Players. Both bands were known for their energetic live performances, horn-driven arrangements, and a commitment to creating music that made people move. The Ohio Players’ influence on B.T. Express is evident in their shared emphasis on tight rhythms and dynamic instrumentation.

Impact on Future Generations: Cameo

B.T. Express’s influence extends beyond their contemporaries, reaching future generations of musicians. One notable band inspired by B.T. Express is Cameo. The funk and R&B group, known for hits like “Word Up!” and “Candy,” adopted the groove-centric approach and lively stage presence that were hallmarks of B.T. Express’s musical legacy.

The Legacy Continues

B.T. Express’s impact on funk and soul music endures, with their distinctive sound continuing to resonate with fans and inspire new generations of musicians. The band’s ability to seamlessly blend genres, coupled with their infectious energy, solidified their place in the annals of music history. As we reflect on the journey of B.T. Express, it becomes clear that their contribution to the world of funk and soul is both timeless and everlasting.
