B.T. Express - Give Up The Funk (Let's Dance) b/w Better Late Than Never (1980)

B.T. Express (originally named Brooklyn Transit Express) was an American funk/disco group, that had a number of successful songs during the 1970s.
From their album “1980” from 1980, the big track that people remember from this album, the one that charted, is "Give Up The Funk," which sports another profoundly unoriginal title. 
Thankfully there are no Parliament ripoffs to be found here, and no references to "the bomb," as the sound is 100% B.T. Express with an updated sound, including the ray gun 'pew pew pew' of electric tom tom drums. 
The tune also brings back the Express's best trademark:  long, darkly-hued horn phrases used to punctuate the jams in a an understated  way, as if Maceo Parker took a few Valium.
