Tim Bachman, a founding member of the Canadian rock band Bachman-Turner Overdrive, has died. He was 71.

Randy Bachman confirmed the death of his brother through his manager on Sunday.

Tim Bachman's son, Paxton Bachman, posted on Facebook that his father died Friday, explaining that he got a call last week from the care home where his father was staying, telling him that his dad's condition had worsened and that later tests revealed cancer throughout his brain.

Winnipeg-based BTO released its first album in May 1973 and the band's second album, Bachman-Turner Overdrive II, released in December 1973, became a huge hit in the U.S. and Canada, with hit singles Let it Ride and Takin' Care of Business.

8. Great bass.

Neighbors below us didn't appreciate this. I thought they'd left for work when I first played this at a "decent volume." i apologized.
We still have the album, btw.
