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 TH-cam channel and social media pages to keep up with our next performance and content! Thank you very much!
@@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. 💃
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…
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!
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"
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!!!! ✊🏾💪🏿🪨
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.
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.
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!
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.
The Grooooooooooveeeeeee is on fire... Beautiful perfomance back in those gold times, i like sooooo much! The bassline is awesome! Many thanks for sharin'💃🏼🎤💃🏼🎧💃🏼🎼💃🏼🤟💃🏼🤙💃🏼👍💃🏼🎸💃🏼🎷💃🏼🎻💃🏼🎺💃🏼🤩💃🏼😍💃🏼🔥💃🏼💥💃🏼🎵💃🏼🎶💃🏼🎹💃🏼
More talent and great music in this one performance.,than the last twenty years.

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.
I have a pinnacle 5 and they sound so great. I bought mine used at the Guitar Center and for the life of many I just can't imagine what person did not like that bass and the great sound that I get from it.
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
I was on a show with Brick in San Diego, In 2020, Jimmy was still hitting Energetic & Jammin' They Were still putting in down . I have wondering though how Ambrick is Doing ! Blessings !
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!!!
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
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.

Sleepy Browns father Jimmy Brown awesome musician!!!
Peace and abundant divine blissings
Thank you for expressing your #Gratitude, we sincerely appreciate it you! ❤❤❤
What a nice memory sir
This is one my favorite songs! Love it, great to dance to, too. Great tune!
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.

@@stephencopping9953 funk gets stronger...
Real musicians. Back in the day. Love it….
You just don't see that today
June is black music month it was proclaimed in 1979 by president Jimmy Carter HAPPY BLACK MUSIC MONTH
YES! This is one of the only lIVE performances around by this group of Originals! Fanfunkentastic!
back in the day when you had to bring it for real. Brick was lethal on the funk
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! 🫨
YEAH!!!!..........Finally the real Brick LIVE! Thank you this is fantastic man!
Hells yeah 👍😁😁
This is by far the best, funkiest, liviest version of this song eva 🎵 👌🏾 👍🏾💪🏾👊🏾👏🏾
Exactly 💯😂💯😂💯
THEY MAKE YOU WANNA GET DOWN!!
So great when they really played live! Ray Ransom on the Alembic bass!
This is real music 🎵
My era of Good Music!!!!
Back in the day, when the brothers could actually play musical instruments and no one stood in their way! The best!
AMEN!

Brothers can still play instruments
Right on.

That bass is unforgettable!❤
Dude beats the shit out of those drums.
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
That makes sense. He's not playing with a drummer's feel.
@@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"
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.
The energy can only come thru with heart, soul, and sweat.
The more buttons, the more tech, the less soul.
Great stuff 🎷🎷This is how music should be. What a life performance 👏👏
The art of learning your instrument....
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.

Nothing like this real true funk,, nowadays Nothing but ARTIFICIAL performance
I remember watching this! I miss great music. Thank God for TH-cam!
By the time the flute came in the party was on fire.
You couldn’t wait!
Gone!
The energy! You could feel it!
Doin’ it live and capturing the vibe of the studio. Still one of my all-time flute solos!!!
Love playing this on my Bass🎸
Awesome line...hey post some tabs!! 😉 Thanks
REAL MUSIC baby!
My dad gifted me this album after he bought it in 1977, while our family was stationed in Baumholder, Germany. Great music and times!
Hot Heavy Funk! 🥵

The great great Mr James Jamerson an icon supporting Marvin on this track is as fresh and relevant now as the day it was recorded. RIP brothers.
So damn talented and funky! 🎶🎼🎸🪈
One of my favorite bands of all time .... Jimmy is a baddd man...they rock the house much love
I love real music!
Wow! is the only word that comes to mind.
I remember that one back
from the year 1976.
Awesome performance!🎯
" Music makes your body move!

Real music, played by real musicians.
One of my all time favorite records. Brilliant!
Bad bad funky. This is music yeas.😂😂❤❤
Saw them once, brothers didn't want to stop jamming ❤
Bad ass band !!!!!
A alegria e sinceridade da época
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!
WOW !! REAL MUSICIANS !!
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.
Was and always will Be one of my favorite old school bands. This footage is real nice. Thanks.
This is legitimately the funkiest performance I've ever heard and seen. Something about that bassline, mane.
Great stuff love this song!
Gospel stomp and the funk go hand in hand. Heaven is the one.

Taking what is given to Us on Earth, These Gentleman have Taken Basic Materials Like clay and Turned It Into Brick!
They sound just like they did on radio and on the vinyl records
This is what you call real music and entertainment! Notice how artists back in the day actually sweated on stage!
Awesome!
When radio was my best friend who was always giving me the best
I have a pinnacle 5 and they sound so great. I bought mine used at the Guitar Center and for the life of many I just can't imagine what person did not like that bass and the great sound that I get from it.
