What made Brick special (in my top 20 all time) was their innovative style that NOBODY had heard before, especially, in the '70's when you had soo many HOFame R/B (rock, too!) bands that it was a pathetic! R/B bands, singing groups, soloist, etc. were soo good... we didn't realize just how good they were until later!
We didn't realize how good they were until later? What kinda dumb comment was that?? It's apparent we knew they were good when we first seen them c'mon now
@@anthonytaylor7928 Dude, Brick came out of nowhere! It's dumb for you to call someone dumb based on YOUR opinion. They're not in HOF yet should be.That's why I got nine agreeing opinions and you got none, mi amigo! Peace out!
The bass player in BRICK on a Stan Smith axe rocking the groove. A whole lot of bottom holding it together with the drums in toe. That’s what I call LOCKED.
Hell yeah…. And he’s playing “open handed” too !!!! I think drums wasn’t his first choice of instrument but he was told to play the drums if I’m not mistaken?!
@@adrianlyord5300"Correct, Eddie Irons was originally a bass player who switched over to the drums. Brick were a group of college friends who played in the marching band that split into two then got together and put that funk down that we hear, I could be wrong but I think they played in the marching band at Savannah College"

Back in the day before they started eliminating music education programs from public schools.

@@Odawg96. That brother sure knows how to use his lips. And the group even outdid Jethro Tull. Fantastic funk. For some reason blacks in power don’t empower blacks. Oprah comes to mind.

Yup, this song had me yearning to play bass. My parents only believed in piano or acoustic guitar but 28 years later I never gave in and bought my bass. This was a great look back, thanks for sharing.
The industry was full of capable, instrumentalists, so the balance shifted. After my brother and I proved and played the funky arts, his son grew up to make big money in L.A., writing for films , commercials and artists. He then informed us that we were obsolete.
I was a freshman at Morris Brown when they made this album. They were all in the band. We had the baddest band and football teams in the Atlanta. Go wolverine.
I love brick!! It reminds me of home, my neighborhood !! Pleasantville Houston ,Texas!!

MUSICIANS!!!!!!!! REAL ONES! And my jam was "Ain't gone hurt nobody". Oh man, driving around with my girl in my Pinto with the roll up "moon roof" in 1977 or 78' (can't remember the year exactly), my car payment was $65😊, SIXTY FIVE DOLLARS😆. My Mom and Dad bought the car for me and I had to pay the payment (they payed the insurance), I later found out that they paid for the car and I was actually paying them directly by giving them the $65 every month, but my dad told me he needed to teach me responsibility and the ability to appreciate something that you had to pay for and take care of. I'll NEVER forget it!
You had awesome parents just like mine!!! I SO miss my Dad! ❤️ He bought me a brand new 1976 5 or 1976 Toyota Celica. I made the payments to him as well! 🙏🏻👍🏻❤️

@@beclairful Aren't those beautiful memories👍? Our situation is the same, and I too miss my "daddy" who left the earth in 2010. In alot of ways, we (our generation), was soooooooooooo blessed to have two parents who nurtured, taught us right from wrong, had rules we had to follow, lead by voice AND example, spanked that butt when needed, on and on and on, unlike some of these kids today. I don't know what happened to good firm parenting.
No such thing as "real" musicians. Either you play or you don't.

@@chriso8193 Oh yes there are and you're speaking to one who's made a living for over 40 years. There are PLENTY of folks who claim to play and can't, plenty of folks who rely on technology and pass off of as real musicians playing and I could go on!
What a talented group of bad ass brothers !!! , Have this song played every night I roller skate , the groove is infectious , There is no music made today that can even come close to this and this performance ,
These cats were the shyt back when, i would listen but never knew they sounded like the wax when they performed live, brick was magic right here, believe that 😊
Brick is Atlanta's own home grown. First saw them at East Lake Park in 74. Free show btw, and they were slinging their first 45 to the fans like frisbees. They had just gotten on the Bang label. What a show to remember.
The Grooooooooooveeeeeee is on fire... Beautiful perfomance back in those gold times, i like sooooo much! The bassline is awesome! Many thanks for sharin'💃🏼🎤💃🏼🎧💃🏼🎼💃🏼🤟💃🏼🤙💃🏼👍💃🏼🎸💃🏼🎷💃🏼🎻💃🏼🎺💃🏼🤩💃🏼😍💃🏼🔥💃🏼💥💃🏼🎵💃🏼🎶💃🏼🎹💃🏼
it would really be something if 'brick City" Could be found. THAT was and remains an incredible jam by brick real jazz funk fused together. No disco there!
I was about 16 or 17 years old when Brick was blasting these tunes. I played the trombone in the jazz band at Dominguez High School in Compton, Ca. and wherever we played the big booty girls got up and danced up a fire on the dance floor. And while serving in the Navy, everybody was dancing down the hallways in the barracks whenever I blasted their tunes from my stereo. I can only associate good memories and good vibes from Brick, and they will always hold a special place in my heart! I wish them all well and pray that the Lord has reached and blessed every one of them with His ultimate blessing!
Ray was that man on bass. Shame the camara man missed his solo. I did the same move he did the next week when my band played this song. He was awesome R.I.P to one of my bass heroes
I was 13years old in 1977when this song came out this is when music had it going on i will be 60years young Thursday July 4th and I am still listing to this music today in 2024 this song will never get old like they used to say back in the day don't nothing get old but clothes sometimes I wish we could go back to the 60s 70s and 80s when the world was a better place i am glad that I was born in the 60s
Hot Damn! That’s how it’s done youngsters! This unheralded group were some true “Funk Masters” from ATL before the term, “Dirty South” was even thought about! ✊🏽👍🏽🎷
The 1970s are undefeated! 🙌🏽
The 60s and early 70s then we got disco and a lot of commercial crap
@@stephencopping9953 I liked the disco too.

The best of times.
back in the day when you had to bring it for real. Brick was lethal on the funk
Real musicians. Back in the day. Love it….
You just don't see that today
The undefeated Flute SOLO will always be fiyahhhhh
OMG YEEEESSSSSS 🎶🎵✌🏽🔥👍🏽
Every day"Brother's & Sister's " just took music out of the air & put the sound on wax!! I, can dig it Baby 😎
Yes it sound like he played three octaves
That flute when the bass drops is on top of the Funk Hall of Fame in my brain.
Yeah! That was 🔥! I was in Jr high when this song “dropped!”
That flute and bass blew everybody’s mind! 🫨
My brain was there too!! Oooooooo weee!
Great stuff 🎷🎷This is how music should be. What a life performance 👏👏
Awesome performance!🎯
Remember exactly where I was the first time I heard this. COULD NOT STOP MOVIN' !!!

Hells yeah 👍😁😁
Pure talent no questions asked
Doin’ it live and capturing the vibe of the studio. Still one of my all-time favorite flute solos!!!

So great when they really played live! Ray Ransom on the Alembic bass!
My era of Good Music!!!!
Incredible band!!! Real musicians, soul, Funk, all in one band !!! ufff what times the very good music

Dude beats the shit out of those drums.

That makes sense. He's not playing with a drummer's feel.

I believe the drummer is left-handed but playing drums on the right because I played with a left-handed drummer who played like he do.
Benard Purdy said he played on the original song if I'm not mistaken
Bad bad funky. This is music yeas.😂😂❤❤
I remember watching this! I miss great music. Thank God for RUclips!
Live music is key for success!
June is black music month it was proclaimed in 1979 by president Jimmy Carter HAPPY BLACK MUSIC MONTH

We love you man, so many years listening your music.
Keep up the good work !!!
Yes Sir. Real Musicans playing Real Funky Music...Thank you for the classic Good High Album (1976). Blessings to you Mr. Brown.
My dad gifted me this album after he bought it in 1977, while our family was stationed in Baumholder, Germany. Great music and times!
By the time the flute came in the party was on fire.
You couldn’t wait!
Gone!
Nothing like this real true funk,, nowadays Nothing but ARTIFICIAL performance
WOW !! REAL MUSICIANS !!
Hot Heavy Funk! 🥵
The art of learning your instrument....
Thank u and the band for giving us great music for everyone of all.ages to still.enjoy💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💯
Real music, played by real musicians.
The energy can only come thru with heart, soul, and sweat.
The more buttons, the more tech, the less soul.
The energy! You could feel it!
I use to play that flute solo on my flute back in the day. Bring back A very happy time for me. I miss who I was back then. Young and free!
Every instrument on that stage was shredded to pieces. AND this was LIVE.. I can't 😮
All LIVE.... Straight at 'cha.... No BS! I could listen to 'BRICK' all day/night ❤🔥💝
Dont want to live without music that make my body work.
