1973
Bachman–Turner Overdrive
A huge rock attraction was born when Bachman–Turner Overdrive, managed by Bruce Allen, exploded out of Vancouver. The group’s first LP came out May 17, 1973, but it was the 1974 release of Not Fragile that made BTO internationally known. Their biggest hit single, “Takin’ Care of Business,” is still played nearly 40 years later.
