@@stephencopping9953 I liked the disco too. It (disco) wasn’t the only music available (at the time). There was still the other music that we love from the 70s (those of us who were there!)! For some reason, ppl who hated disco, at the time, were bothered that it existed, instead of just focusing on the music (still being made) that wasn’t disco. 💃
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
Back in the day before they started eliminating music education programs from public schools. Back in the day before certain people fled neighborhoods where the schools were integrating and took their tax dollars elsewhere…and voted to DE-FUND those schools the left behind. Fortunately, there are plenty of brothas and sistas playing instruments today.
@@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. As far as school integration goes, my victimologist… When your heroes are Washington Carver and Ben Carson instead of Tupac and LaBron, come let us know, we’ll be back. 13% of the population…
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.
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.
I remember my late Father had this album on vinyl back in 1976 or something like that and he played the heck out of it!!!!! Salute 🫡 to him and all those who like to groove!!!! ✊🏾💪🏿🪨
Hey everyone this is Jimmy Brown the lead singer, saxophone, and flute player you see in this video. I want to thank you all for sharing. I remember playing with this Brick band about 40 years ago and Im still playing today! Im continuing the legacy of Brick and would love if you follow my journey. The band is called Brick featuring Jimmy Brown now. I am the last remaining active member of the Brick you know and love. Visit my UA-cam channel and social media pages to keep up with our next performance and content! Thank you very much!
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.
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!
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"
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!
Saw them once, brothers didn't want to stop jamming ❤

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.
The Grooooooooooveeeeeee is on fire... Beautiful perfomance back in those gold times, i like sooooo much! The bassline is awesome! Many thanks for sharin'💃🏼🎤💃🏼🎧💃🏼🎼💃🏼🤟💃🏼🤙💃🏼👍💃🏼🎸💃🏼🎷💃🏼🎻💃🏼🎺💃🏼🤩💃🏼😍💃🏼🔥💃🏼💥💃🏼🎵💃🏼🎶💃🏼🎹💃🏼
DAM!!!! Yes, Yes, Yes!!! My teenage years 4/sho!! Memory--->We were all about 15, 16 and 17 we were in front of the homies mothers house. all standing by the homies lowrider with Dazz Playing real loud, Just turned dark maybe 7 or 8 o'clock. We pieced up on a 5 finger nickel bag and a six pack of old English. And we was groovin off of this song because it had just came out!!! Dam, I remember it like it was yesterday!!! Music is a blessing!!!
Yes! From back in the day when you needed musical talent. The rise of hip-hop as the primary R&B music form put innumerable Black drummers, bassists, horn players and guitar players on the unemployment line.
Saw them Open for Santana in 1977 both lit it up back in the 70s and at least say 80s in Philly we'd go to at least 2 concerts a year at the Spectrum in Philly Funk jazz Funk Rock and hardly ever any issues
When they jammed this cut you did want to leave your drink on the table you were sitting because it would be hotter than dog PISS. And take a sweat towel with you to the dance floor because it was seriously PARTY TIME. 😮😅😊
All that the world has become that human beings don’t agree with is their fault, we allow the worst or the best to be. Yes this is music, real musicians, instruments and singing but we the people allowed it to become something today not worth listening to. Everyone talks about the good ole days and allowed them to fade away into nonsense.
Mainstream artists don’t play instruments anymore. Popular culture has just gone to a very negative and non-productive place It’s good we have access to history and other performers thru the internet and research
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.

Back in the day, when the brothers could actually play musical instruments and no one stood in their way! The best!
AMEN!

YES! This is one of the only lIVE performances around by this group of Originals! Fanfunkentastic!
This is real music 🎵
My era of Good Music!!!!
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
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! 🫨
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.
That bass is unforgettable!❤
This is by far the best, funkiest, liviest version of this song eva 🎵 👌🏾 👍🏾💪🏾👊🏾👏🏾
Exactly 💯😂💯😂💯
THEY MAKE YOU WANNA GET DOWN!!
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.
I remember watching this! I miss great music. Thank God for UA-cam!
The energy can only come thru with heart, soul, and sweat.
The more buttons, the more tech, the less soul.
I remember my late Father had this album on vinyl back in 1976 or something like that and he played the heck out of it!!!!! Salute 🫡 to him and all those who like to groove!!!! ✊🏾💪🏿🪨
YEAH!!!!..........Finally the real Brick LIVE! Thank you this is fantastic man!
Hells yeah 👍😁😁
So great when they really played live! Ray Ransom on the Alembic bass!
I love real music!

Nothing like this real true funk,, nowadays Nothing but ARTIFICIAL performance
By the time the flute came in the party was on fire.
You couldn’t wait!
Gone!
Doin’ it live and capturing the vibe of the studio. Still one of my all-time flute solos!!!
My dad gifted me this album after he bought it in 1977, while our family was stationed in Baumholder, Germany. Great music and times!
The energy! You could feel it!
So damn talented and funky! 🎶🎼🎸🪈

@@adrianlyord5300
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.
Real music, played by real musicians.
Wow! is the only word that comes to mind.
" Music makes your body move!
I remember that one back
from the year 1976.
Love playing this on my Bass🎸
Awesome line...hey post some tabs!! 😉 Thanks

Great times in the music history!!❤🎉
This is what you call real music and entertainment! Notice how artists back in the day actually sweated on stage!
Marvelous🎉❤
As a teenager we had back in those days!😂 at bbqs etc.

Dusic has been sampled &

Les keep the funk alive people!

Yes! From back in the day when you needed musical talent. The rise of hip-hop as the primary R&B music form put innumerable Black drummers, bassists, horn players and guitar players on the unemployment line.
Yesssss
Best do do!!!
That’s how you finnnn JAM!!!!!!
DATT’S. DA STICK BAIBEE!!😎

THIS WAS GOOD,I'M NOT EVEN GONNA COMPLAIN ABOUT ALL THE LETTERS AND NUMBERS THAT STAYED ON THE SCREEN THE WHOLE DAMN VIDEO.
saw them live in DC years ago, the only thing they did was Rock the House they are a great live show
Orale! ✊🏽💪👌🏿
Funk com rock
The group Brick had been
sampled as well.
Saw them Open for Santana in 1977 both lit it up back in the 70s and at least say 80s in Philly we'd go to at least 2 concerts a year at the Spectrum in Philly Funk jazz Funk Rock and hardly ever any issues

This is the ish
In high school if you wanted your party to jump , all you had to do was put Brick on record player..
Da Funk
3:46 beginning of the SICKEST bass line in all funk…. 😮🎸. That was stanky AF 🔥🔥🔥
All that the world has become that human beings don’t agree with is their fault, we allow the worst or the best to be.
