Durkee was actually a pizza delivery guy, who was delivering pizza to the Steve Miller Band in the next studio room. He dropped in the studio where Bachman-Turner Overdrive was listening to the playback of "Takin' Care of Business" and suggested that the song needs a boogie-woogie piano and then he left. Supposedly the band knew he could play, because they went after him and got him to play the piano for the song. Later on Durkee became the musical director for Barry Manilow and Bette Midler.
Elvis' TCB Band was named after the title song.
