B.T. Express (originally named Brooklyn Trucking Express) was an American funk/disco group, that had a number of successful songs during the 1970s.

Members of the group included vocalist Barbara Joyce Lomas, brothers Jamal (Louis) and Bill Risbrook, Billy Nichols[1] (who wrote their number 1 hit «Do It (‘Til You’re Satisfied)»), Richard Thompson, lead guitar/vocals Wesley Pike Hall, Jr., Carlos Ward, Orlando Woods drums, and Dennis Rowe. Michael Jones, a keyboardist in the band from 1976–1979, later went solo and recorded under the name Kashif; he had several R&B hits in the 1980s. Billy Nichols also started a solo career, and had a hit with «Give Your Body Up to the Music,» written by Andre Saunders (1979).

B.T. Express was signed in 1974 by internationally known pop artist and music industry veteran Sid Maurer, and former Epic Records promotion man Fred Frank, who were launching their new record label, Roadshow Records.
