They just don't make music like this anymore! Unless you are a fan of old-school disco with a heavy dose of funk, stay away from this cd. If you ARE a fan though...buy this compilation. Close you're eyes...You can just see the afros and platform shoes...

In the 1970s, it wasn't uncommon to find a funk band that was entirely self-contained - all of the producing, writing, and arranging was done by actual bandmembers, not outsiders. This funk-disco group was formed by Jeff Lane in 1972 in Brooklyn NY. They started as David House Rockers in 1972 and later were called the Brooklyn Trucking Express. They were never totally self-contained; even its first major hit, "Do It ('Til You're Satisfied)," was written by someone who wasn't an official member: guitarist Billy Nichols. The group consisted keyboardist Michael Jones (later well known as Kashif). Nevertheless the Best of B.T has such a good track list and without them your funk collection is incomplete. On the whole this disc is something funksters should savor.

I always enjoyed listening to The BT Express on the radio but buying The best of was a listening experience."Do It,Express,Give It What You Got,Peace Pipe,etc...This is so funky,I can't stop bopping!

this group could be as funky as anybody.those horns and grooves are still tight to this day.Do It (til your'e satisfied),express.this cd bangs on the weekend.

Came across this compilation while looking for a song that is by Brass Construction. This collection is Ok, but it doesn't even have Do You Like It. If you are familiar with this band you know that you have to have that jam. However if you like BT(thats what we called them back in the day), you have to check out Brass Construction. They bought sound pretty much the same but (to me), Brass definitely has a deeper library...

This is a great collection of their hits, but I happened across the BT Express Anthology, which appears to be more complete. I found it by searching for "BT Express" (not "B.T. Express") here on Amazon. Either way you get it, it is great music!

b.t. express was that stone groove. check out every joint on here. i love almost everything on here. some of the later ones make me make faces and make wierd noises, but all in all, this is so funky sometimes it makes me shake.

B.T. Express was a tight, tight band, from start to finish. They did it all themselves. "Do it 'till your satisfied" is their signature song (and sound). Get you copy and well, do it!
Five stars!
