In fact, it was originally called “White Collar Worker” and lingered in singer Randy Bachman’s proverbial drafts folder for six years, left over from his stint with The Guess Who.Then, lightning struck.“One night I’m driving to a gig in Vancouver and a guy comes on the radio station,” Bachman told the New York Post in an exclusive interview.
“He says ‘Hi, this is Daryl B and we’re taking care of business.'”Bachman wrote the title down and made the band play the song on the spot — unprepared and unrehearsed (!) — that night.Yes, the memorable call and response “Takin’ care of business/Every day/Takin’ care of business/Every way/Takin’ care of business/It’s all mine/Takin’ care of business/And workin’ over time” was improvised.“The crowd went crazy,” Bachman smiled. “We recorded it two weeks later and that’s what you hear.”Over a half century later, the wily 80-year-old frontman is still going strong touring with Bachman-Turner Overdrive including shows at Atlantic City’s Borgata Casino Music Box on Friday, Sept.
