Brooklyn, New York has always been noted for
contemporary music. This New York borough has produced some of the top
names in today's Music.
Formed in 1974, the very first B.T. EXPRESS, "Do
It 'Til You're Satisfied", immediately climbed to the top of
the charts where it remained at #1 for 8 weeks and went gold.
The group's second single "Express" also went gold. This was
just the beginning of much more success to come, which included several
U.S. hits, numerous television appearances, and a gold album to follow
their two hit singles.
In 1975, B.T. EXPRESS became Scepter Records' biggest recording act,
establishing their name in contemporary music. In 1977 a new
chapter was added to their book when they signed with Columbia
Records and recorded such hits as "Shout It
Out" and "Energy to Burn",
just to name a few.
The popularity of B.T. EXPRESS extended beyond the U.S.A. In fact, while
on a very successful tour of the Far East they were invited to Thailand
to perform for King Aduldet and the Royal family.
Upon returning from
Thailand, 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).
The next stop for B.T. EXPRESS was the White House, where they performed
for President Jimmy Carter and the White House staff.
Over the past years, B.T. EXPRESS has undergone several personnel
changes. With the creative infusion of its newer members, the group has
changed with time, while progressing with each change.
This is why even today B.T. EXPRESS remains one of the top forces in
contemporary music.
