Takin' Care Of Business (song)
"Takin' Care of Business" is a song written by Randy Bachman and first recorded by Canadian rock group Bachman–Turner Overdrive (BTO) for their 1973 album ''Bachman–Turner Overdrive II''. The lead vocal is sung by Randy. Development Randy Bachman had developed what would later become "Takin' Care of Business" while still a member of The Guess Who. His original idea was to write about a recording technician who worked on The Guess Who's recordings. This particular technician would take the 8:15 train to get to work, inspiring the lyrics "take the 8:15 into the city". In the early arrangement for the song, which had the working title "White Collar Worker", the chorus riff and vocal melody were similar to that of The Beatles' "Paperback Writer". When Bachman first played this version for Burton Cummings, Cummings declared that he was ashamed of him and that The Guess Who would never record the song because the Beatles would sue them.Gary James interview with Randy Bachman at ...

TCB (album)
''TCB'' (an abbreviation for "Taking Care of Business") is the tenth solo studio album by Australian singer/songwriter James Reyne. The album was released on 12 April 2010. The album debuted and peaked at number 32 in Australia. ''TCB'' is a tribute album to Reyne's idol Elvis Presley, with Reyne explaining: "Elvis and his guys – his 'inner circle', his bodyguards – they used to give each other these little key rings and badges with TCB on them and they'd say 'Yeah, we're takin' care of business'." TCB was the name of Elvis' band. Background and promotion Reyne said choosing songs for this album meant listening to a vast catalogue of Presley tunes. He deliberately avoided the earlier/iconic songs like " Hound Dog"’, "That's All Right" and "Suspicious Minds" and avoided Elvis' gospel records.
