Everything about this song is exceptional. The lead vocal with the stuttering, the lyrics, the guitars, the beat (which sounds like a locomotive train going down the track). Classic Rock.
This song brings back the carefree high school days
Brings back me hanging out with my uncle & his friends at the Hoosier Bar, here in Kokomo Indiana. 😆
You got up every morning with the alarm clock warning?
It really does.
Me too!! I was 12 in 1974 but loooooved them! My parents had a ton of great records at that time and so did I, always begging for new records lol.
Me too. Oh what fun days. RIP Robbie Bachman 1/12/2023
The stutter did make the song. You're correct.
Randy was such a great artist he has alot of hits with this group here and with the Guess Who he was the Cofounder of too.
ExarKenneth71 Randy didn’t sing most of their hits. CF Turner sang the majority
Yes, he should react to some of Guess Who's great works.
This song is from my “era”. lol I actually didn’t know Randy had a stuttering issue until you mentioned it. With that being said, how is it that he only stuttered during those parts? I can’t imagine the song without it, though! Great song! I have no specific memories, but just good times!!
@@bethcoussou Not Randy his Brother had the issue and Randy was making fun of him.
And his brother is the Drummer, Robbie!
Remember hearing this a lot in 70's doing homework in my room to it playing on the radio.
Me too :-)
this 45 was on my new turntable when I woke up Christmas morning 1974. I still have it and it plays great!!
SWEET AS HONEY
Yes! 14 year old Black boy, 1974, North of England, Christmas holidays, playing table tennis on the dining room table. I remember the time the place the smells the feeling, the tastes, like yesterday.
Ain't seen nothing yet came on the transistor radio and I loved it. And yes it was the stuttering that grabbed me immediately. On those old transistors you couldn't hear much bass line or anything but the stutter really popped out and sounded cool.
I was 13 years old in 74 😊 I always heard this song on the radio while playing Barbies,jacks or just chilling 😁 wonderful memories 💚
It’s a fun song while driving with the windows down . High school for me
Use to hear this on the radio when I was very young. Always thought it was a cool tune. This and "Taking Care Of Business are my favorites.
Did you ever hear the DOA cover video for taking care of business? The coach should be familiar - ua-cam.com/video/EaoObr2QEuY/v-deo.html
@@vaudreelavallee3757 Thanks Vaudree! That link was fun! It was cool that Randy Bachman from BTO was the coach for the band's team. He also played with them on stage in the last part of the video.
@@vaudreelavallee3757 I just watched it . That was cool! I enjoyed it.
I am 58 years old,I never knew that about the song but to me that made the song that's the part I waited for . I also like Doby Gray drift away , Percy Sledge when a man loves a woman .that's back a few years . I know you're young but check them out .💘 your channel. ☺💝
Kayla Gingles agreed, especially "Drift Away" by Doby Gray
That's a classic
We are twins!
Burton Cummings does a good cover of "When a Man Loves a Woman" too.
Great Song - I saw Randy Bachman do a show in Seattle years ago and he was very kind to me when i met with him after the show to ask for an autograph of a picture of him for my son, who was born in Canada..
In 2011, the Stuttering Foundation gave this song an award. Gary Bachman, did overcome his stuttering with therapy.
His brothers Robbie Bachman (drums), Tim Bachman (guitar, vocals), and Randy Bachman (lead, singer, lead guitarist), added Fred Turner (bass, lead vocas) to form Bachman Turner Overdrive. Randy is also known for founding the band, The Guess Who, which he left in 1970.
Randy has had a 2 hr radio show in Canada since 2005. And released a George Harrison tribute album in 2018.
When *"You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet"* was released in 1974, we knew it was supposed to be stuttering. Not jazzy or R&B style of singing. Since Bill Withers *"Ain't No Sunshine"* was a hit only 3 years (1971) earlier. Also huge Country Music singer *Mel Tillis* was big in the 1970's. Had a severe case of speech impediment (stuttering)) that did not effect his singing. He also made fun of it. Once on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Mel took out a small bell & put it on Johnny's desk. When he couldn't get the word out, Mel hit the bell. Then he got the word out. *It was really funny.*
*Burton Cummings (ex-bandmate with singer/Guitarist Randy Bachman with The Guess Who)* did a hilarious cover of *"You Ain't Seen Yet"* on his 1976 solo album titled *"Burton Cummings".* Where he sang this song as one of those lounge singers would *with the stuttering parts.* He did that as a joke also.
Even I have a stuttering problem up till the 1990's. Still have minor (every once in awhile) one today. Back in 1974, it was bad. But I got the joke of this song.
hey bro , im a white old guy 60 yrs old , this music
rocked in the 70s, im from Canada also , we had lots of great Bands , you will see my friend , enjoy the Journey Brother , white , black , yellow , dont matter . Music rocks the World and Brings us all together
BTO was my first concert..... October 30th 1974. i was 13 at the time. Since then I was able to see BTO in concert about 10 times and I own two drum sticks autographed by Robin Bachman (the drummer). Now, Randy Bachman, Robin Bachman and Blair Thornton (playing the lead guitar on this and many other BTO hits) have gone on to other things while Fred (CF) Turner (bass player) has retired from making music at all. At least I still have those great memories, a set of Robin bachman drum sticks and some other BTO bling Robin was kind enough to send me, as well as my extensive BTO collection on CDs.
This is great, but my personal favorite is “Let It Ride”. Fantastic harmonies and such great music! Would love to hear you react to that one!
Yes! That's my favorite BTO song, as well.
Mine too!
I *HATED* "Let It Ride". The single.
I *LOVE* "Let It Ride". The album version.
It's like Edgar Winter's *Frankenstein.* You hear the single the first time. You go that's cool. You hear the album version. You go that's sweet. Then you hear the single version again. Then you go, man that blows.
That one minute difference (or less) makes a big difference in the song. Same with *"Let It Ride".*
Not Fragile
I AGREE!!!!
Bachman Turner kicked A$$. This and most of their other songs just roll with melody and great guitar licks...Love it!!
He was a great performer, a good man and a good friend. I still listen to him.
Yes, I lived during this and never knew the history. Thanks and it was a great time for music.
I saw this band live in 84 Halifax Nova Scotia. This song and Taking care of business, Hey You and others like Rock Is My Life, and this Is my Song hit the airwaves like a storm. Every Dance, Ice slaking and rolling skating rink was playing BTO.
I learned from an interview with Randy Bachman years and years ago that he wanted BTO to be a rhythm based rock band. But I didn't know until very recently that they were sharing a dressing room with the Doobie Brothers in New Orleans during Mardi Gras in the first half of the 1970s when he worked out some of "Let It Ride" and the Doobies then based "Long Train Running" on his guitar noodlings as he ironed it out. That is astonishing and good to know because the Doobies are one of my all time favourite bands! Randy said in that interview eons ago, back in the 1970s IIRC, that he wanted a band that was rhythmically similar to CCR and the Doobies. Killer rhythm was the thing back in the 1970s and is much too absent from today's music. And BTO has so many excellent lead guitar solos! 😉🎸👌
That "70s sound of guitar" comes from there not being many guitar pedals to alter the sound of the guitar at the time. So if you were going to be an excellent guitarist you had to have "touch" in your fingers. There are plenty of good guitar players around today but also way too many that bury the actual tone of their guitars underneath a ton of effects pedals. The really good guitar players around today will tell you to develop your own signature "sound" with your guitar before drifting off into "guitar pedal-land" and obscurity because you just sound like some over processed thing that no one can get next to in their heart and mind.
The lead guitarist in this song was Blair Thornton from Vancouver. 🎸🎸🎸
The stuttering became a hook like a guitar or keyboard hook and made the song standout.
The stuttering was about Robbie the drummer who had a bad stammer.
I am thankful I grew up in the 60's and 70"s.
Blair thornton played my school with his band "Cross town bus" and then went onto play with BTO. ( The band Heart also rented a house a block away from mine in the 70's )
When I got into radio in Vancouver I would see them at the station. I was at their Vancouver Coliseum concert at the top of their hits, pretty cool at the time.
Randy Bachman was one of the founding members of the Guess Who!
The first concert I went to at 16..now 58! As many will tell you they were part of The Guess Who at first. Pure 70's..This was part of my "teenage soundtrack"
Bachman has so many stories. The story behind American Woman (afraid of getting drafted when crossing the border then breaking a string). The piano in Taking Care of Business by a pizza delivery guy. No Sugar Tonight from crossing the street to avoid a group of scary looking bikers. And Undun is the result of being taught jazz chords by the incredible Lenny Breau
Ah, those were the days. I'm originally from Winnipeg. But then so is Burton Cummings, another singer. Who weird Al acted as at a Sweeny Todd ( Nick Gilder ) concert lol! Awesome show. Oh, those days. Was only 14 but they'll stick in memory for as long as I have it lol!
Yes...in the day we were so cool singing with the lyrics and thought it was to be cool. Aaawww. The old dances. Great dancing music
I saw them at the Filmore East in NYC [in the very early 1970s] shortly before it closed.
My very first Rock concert. It was amazing....!!
I remember when this song first came out. I had just got my license and I was cruising to this song while driving. While I kept driving by a boys house (who I liked a lot). lol True story.
This song was a staple of 1970s Rock radio stations when I was a young adolescent. My older brother, Danny, liked this song a lot. He also liked "Smoke On The Water", by Deep Purple, and the song's signature guitar riff.
You must, must listen to 38 Special "A Heart Needs a Second Chance" and 10CC "I'm not in love"
Total classics. Keep up the good work! Love your blog
38 special and some April wine
I've gotta comment on this one especially because I cut my teeth listening to these guys to and my Brother which is passed now....he had moved to Texas and was working out there and went in Billy Bob's one night and they were playing that night and my brother got a pic with Randy Bachman sitting at a table with him drinking a cold one or that's how they had it set up .
The story I heard about the stutter was that it also helped prepare them for gigs. It was like a warm up song.
Love this song and “let it ride”.
The Who used the stutter to great effect also in "My Generation"---"Why don't you just f-f-f-fade away".
Back in the day, one of the hang outs for teenagers, was the Drive In Movie Theaters. They would play two movies with a 15 min. break in between. We would get out our eight track music tapes and play them loud, in the cars, with the windows rolled down. BTO was one of the best bands that we would listen too. Thanks for the memory.
BTO is a great band. They also play a blues/jazz tune called Blue Collar that I think you will really love.
If I heard it without the 'stutter' now it wouldn't sound right.
Like 'Bad to the Bone'.
Exactly!
@@Modern-Renaissance-Man you've got to do yourself (and us) a favor and react to some George Thorogood & The Destroyers. 'Bad to the Bone' would be a great one to start followed up with 'One Bourbon, One Scotch, and One Beer'. Then for your encore you can react to "I Drink Alone'. Doing any one of these would make me, a long-time subscriber who's never had a request played, *very happy*.
This classic song had always been a favorite of mine. I have MANY favorites. Music is life. -- I have a terrible stutter, always have. I've never heard the back story of this song, but I've always loved the stutter chorus.
This is a good BTO song...but can u Please react to Takin' Care of Business next?....it's their Best! I have it as the Ringtone on my phone!
Takin' Care of Business is one of those songs that makes me want to dance, even while driving, ha.
@@fuzzipariah Ikr? It's a rollicking good-time song! How can anybody NOT move to that song? : )
blueyzblue Roll on down the highway is much better song.
BTO gotta play TCB!
BTO school bus memories!
Best song stutter since The Who's "My Generation"
Ha check out The Stutter Rap.
@@jedislap8726
Morris Minor & the Majors' greatest hit!! 😂
Sweet memories of high school and driving my green 67 Mustang, and listening to BTO on my 8-track......Good times 😁
The 70s. A great time to be in high school.
Great driving song! Fun date song too. My husband and I used to listen to classic rock stations when we were out driving, either visiting friends or family or whatever. This is one we love to sing along with.
Well it’s many years since I heard this song and it still sounds absolutely amazing
Love this song it was on my iphone when i took the bus to work. Always blasted this song. Next song was Cardie B Bodega Yellow. Love mixing songs from different decades. I was born in 74.
Randy Bachman is still touring and hosts an enormously popular radio show, Vinyl Tap on CBC radio. (siriusXM 169) A must listen: Taking Care of Business.
9th grade when this song came out. Oh, to be young again....I was riding on school bus, private school, and I was drivers pet. So we listened to this song a lot.
Thats an awesome memory
A Vanafian comic once called this "Speech Impediment Rock". Hahaha. In all seriousness, that was the hook in the song for sure. BTO is an iconic Canadian band, and Randy's son, Tal Bachman (She's So High) has followed in his dad's footsteps into recording and producing as well.
I first heard this song on a juke box in a pub while playing pool. It was a Friday night. I loved it the moment I heard it. It reminds me of my youth. I wish I could press rewind....
BTO has always been my favorite band. Get your hands on as much of their music as you can. I guarantee you will enjoy most if not all of their songs. Heavy duty rock!
This came up in a sea of great songs at what I would say was the Apex of classic rock. You're right in my opinion. The way it was performed really made it stand out as a memorable song. One of those that brings back memories of days gone by and the carefree fun of youth.
Love BTO. Got see them few years ago. Was awesome seeing Randy playing his guitar with a drum stick . They have a lot of good music.
Randy is a great guitarist, and Canadian to boot. cheers
Also good is BTO's Takin' Care of Business, Let it Ride and Gimme Your Money Please. Saw a reunion tour of The Guess Who a few years ago. Randy did some BTO songs. It was great. In effect two great bands for the price of one! Randy Bachman also hosts Vinyl Tap on CBC radio. He is a goldmine of rock history with personal experiences!
You are absolutely right in that while it may have started out inspired by Randy Bachman having a little fun with his brother's stuttering the reality is that "Ain't Seen Nothing Yet" really became a style of singing the song. Randy is a gentle guy and not someone who is inclined to mock others so I think he gently used the stutter but it soon morphed into an approach to singing the song which totally worked. I saw Randy perform this song a year or two ago and he still sounds great to this day. Always a religious decent dude who has great talent and very sincere he became one of rock's great songwriters and performers. By the way, I never heard the comparison with Bill Withers "Ain't No Sunshine" in terms of both songs being sung in a style but damn you nailed it and I think you got it right--it might have started from a joke but morphed into a style of singing the song! Well done!
Love this song. Was one of my favorite bands in the early 70's.
BTO was very popular. Brings back memories of my big sister who had their LP's and would play their music all the time. Thanks!
I used to listen to this on my radio all the time. I always enjoyed BTO. You’re right about the stutter on this song. I just liked the way it sounded, I never thought he was trying to joke or anything else. Thanks for this video, now I’m off to iTunes to buy this song!😂
Yes as others have said a great song..remember hearing this a lot of the radio cruising around with friends a great driving tune..and yep the stutter adds to the song a lot..TY for the reaction as always Keep Safe Keep Well Keep Strong My Friend
When I was 15 my mom, my brother, and I moved to AZ where my father lived (I hadn't known him for long). One day he drove my brother and I to school in his maroon 90's something Thunderbird and they played this song on the radio, followed by "Bad To The Bone". My brother and I knew those songs, and when my father started singing along it was a really cool bonding experience for me, that I remember every time I hear those songs. Unfortunately, he decided to end his life a few months later. There are a few songs that make me think of him, but these 2 in particular make me smile, even after almost 19 years. Anyway that's my connection to this song. =)
That song really moves along !!! One of my favorites of that time in my life.
Randy Bachman was lead guitar for Guess Who
This song was done perfectly. And the sound is so good. So much fun.
I was nearly crushed to death at a BTO concert back in 1975 and I wasn't there to see them--I was there for the opening act, Blue Oyster Cult. Turned out to be a fun time.
BTO was one of those underrated bands, that never really got the credit they deserved......they slided a little to the funky side, so they fell in between the rock and funk genre.....love this song, and brings back such positive memories 💝💝💝
This is the first song I remember from my early childhood that I really got hooked on. All the elements you mention made an impression on me. It was in the chart for weeks, reached number one in my country and received a lot of radio airplay and tv screen time. Every time it played, I would dance and sing to it and every adult within the room had to watch :) After that song, I discovered Abba and lost interest in Bachman Turner Overdrive as a group, but their signature song has occupied a lifetime soft spot in my heart :)
You're right. Most people never noticed and just thought it style related at the time. They did some other songs that were traditional-jazz influenced,so it kinda made sense. The backstory came out after it became a big radio hit and then everyone knew. Check "Rock is my life" & "Looking Out For #1".
This song brings back great memories to me of my 70’s life, which was so much fun. Thanks for doing this. It reminds me of one particular guy I dated - and loved - but it didn’t work out. And although it still makes me sad to think of him, this song brings back remembrances of many good times spent with him.
Love it!!!!! Listen to this song everyday so enjoyed listening to again
My favorite memory of when this song was on the charts is driving to school on winter mornings in my 1965 Chevy Impala. The heater was so weak, it didn't kick in good until I was pulling into the parking lot. The song came on the radio almost every morning and my teeth chattered so hard, I could sing along perfectly with no effort at all. Bbbbaby, it was cold!
A few years later they appeared as the band called: Iron Horse.They brought out a single called: My Sweet Louise, didn't do a thing (I bought it) but it surely rings like You Ain't. I think even better. But what people don't know they don't like.
Ty, I saw you on Breitbart. Thanks for keeping it real.
Man you really need to react to Taking Care of Business by this band. It's a great song. Bachman Turner Overdrive was great.
Randy Bachman and Burton Cummings were the voices of The Guess Who (mostly Burton Cummings).
Remember that song during my lunch time in the school gym, it sure helped us get some of that energy out for the rest of the afternoon.
I had no idea about the stutter story... That's hilarious. I've always loved this song.
But you're right, the stuttering part is what gave it its style. It was the hook and it was a great hook that they happened on accidentally. Btw this band has a lot of great songs, such as "Taking Care of Business," "Rolling Down The Highway," "Let it Ride".
So true... we loved it that way - childhood days before the pains of life
I love this song! I was in my early twenties! Those were the days😁 Thanks
a great great band ,i was a young teen ,loved them ,party hard with them ,great times ,wondered if any one was going react to them ,you need to hear fragile by them ,groovy!
Yes I remember this song, brings back memories of being at the beach and playing volleyball and sliding down sand dunes. It has such a good vibe to the song
Okay I’ll comment, this was in my days for sure and your are right ,we did love the stuttering it was catchy and fun to sing along to !
I envy this man he's getting to hear all this music fresh I'm old I've been listening this for years and got used to hearing them good to listen again and actually listen
I really like that song. It's an oldie but a goodie. I think I've heard it as long as I can remember. I like the music and vocals. I think it's a solid song.
Sorry. I used to comment quite a bit, although I always missed your live shows. Been in the middle of a big move, and UA-cam has been the furthest thing from my mind the last few months. Still don't have my computer hooked up. I'm on my phone! But I thought about you tonight, and came to see what you've been listening to lately. You have not disappointed. I'm not gonna suggest anything, because you may have already played it. Hope you have a blessed and happy new year. I'll be back. 😊
Had the EXTREME fortune of seeing them perform LIVE at a club near Ft. Hood, TX back in 1988! THEY REALLY ROCKED THE HOUSE! Had the best seats/table, right in front of the bandstand. Girlfriend said that was as loose as she's ever seen me get. Luckily, I didn't have to fly the next day (I was an Army "Huey" Helicopter crew chief). BTO blew their speakers during their encore of "Taking Care Of Business" and had to borrow those of the opening band, but they gave one hell of an encore! I pity anyone who never got to see this TRUE ROCK BAND in person!!! Hell of a performance!!!
I was 11 or 12 years old when this song came out in the mid-1970s. It got a lot of heavy airplay on the radio. My older brother, Danny, loved this song, and tried to play it on his electric guitar. When I went to school on the school bus, this song was playing constantly on the way to and from school on the school bus radio.
The late Al Jarreau was very known for doing this style as you call it, he was a master in doing it!
I remember being in middle school and jamming this on my stereo the reason he sang the song this way was he had a friend who studdered so he was poking fun at him so the story goes
I really love this song. And love singing it. As a stutterer myself, I kinda like when people sing like this.
I have always loved this song!! Always puts me in a good mood.
I’ve listened to this song since the day it came out and I never knew about the stutter thing. Thank god they kept it in. It was always the coolest part! Love singing that part when listening to it even all these years later!
I seen them live in germany in 1973 they were great
I find it kind of funny listening to u talk about this - I danced to this stuff in high school
This was also one of my requests from a while ago! Like you reaction!
You are correct. I am from that time, and we did love this BTO song, never thought at all that the stuttering was anything wrong or not intended.
ooo my fav from them...saw them live in Germany in the later days and got to just see it up close...so cool
This song brings back tears to my eyes because it brings me back to my early teens, listening to the radio in North Jersey. Times were carefree and pure and innocent. Ni one was self obsessed or worried about or judged by superficial things like how good your clothes looked, loosing contact with the world around us because of cell phones. There was safety in our schools, movie theaters, shopping stores, no road rage. It was a hazy Daisy world of love and commonality with the brother or the neighbor in your town. This music rocked our souls made us happy. To watch you young people listen to the songs and look back it’s so sad to realize that you missed out on an error and I pray maybe someday will return.
I have such awesome memories of this song and one of them is that when my brother was three I was like 13 I would listen to this song with him and to this day it is still mine and his well I should say one of our favorite songs
True. It was received as a style thing by fans and Randy was surprised 😮
