Express, written by group member Billy Nichols.[1] Released from the debut album of the same title, the song became a great "crossover" success.

The short version was less than 3 minutes, while the long version is over 5 minutes in length. The single was rated #1 of the R&B singles chart for a week during the autumn of 1974 and was rated #2 of the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart for two weeks.[2] The single was an early disco hit peaking at number eight on the disco/dance charts.[3] The song was used as the opening theme for the late night talk show The Mo'Nique Show weeknights on Black Entertainment Television.
