1) Brick was an Atlanta band that created a successful merger of funk and jazz in the '70s they called "dazz." Brick's roster included lead vocalist/saxophonist/flutist Jimmy Brown; guitarist/bassist/vocalist Regi Hargis Hickman; lead singer Ray Ransom, who doubled as a bassist/keyboardist/percussionist; and Eddie Irons, who did lead vocals and played drums and keyboards. They recorded "Music Matic" for Main Street in 1976, before signing to the CBS-distributed label Bang. Their first Bang single, "Dazz," topped the R&B charts and was number-three pop in 1976, and they continued on Bang until 1982. Brick scored two more huge hits in 1977, "Dusic" and "Ain't Gonna' Hurt Nobody," each with a chunky, propulsive beat and catchy, light pop-jazz refrain. Their last Top Ten R&B hit was "Sweat (Til You Get Wet)" in 1981.
2) Brick is a hardcore band from Baltimore, Maryland. Featuring ex-members of Get Big, Surroundings, and Summer So Far. Currently, Brick only has a demo that was released in 2008. From bone crushing riffs to intelligent and true lyrics about life's lessons this band is definitely both a force to be reckoned with and a band to keep an eye on. The band is on tour right now, go see them live. MySpace

4) Brick is a noise rock band from Stockholm, Sweden. It was founded in the summer of 1993 by Nandor Hegedus (vocals), Lynard Olsson (bass), Jejo Perkovic (drums) and Patrik Instedt (guitar).
They were signed to Dolores Recordings in 1994, who released Brick's debut album Suomi in 1996. The album was well received by the Swedish press and was said to be a trend setter for the Swedish underground scene and compared to bands like The Jesus Lizard, Fugazi and Dead Kennedys.
In 1997 Brick recorded their second album Volvoland together with Bob Weston from Shellac, who left Chicago with two suitcases full of microphones. The idea Brick had about Volvoland was a naked, almost sterile sound which was achieved by Bob Weston's excellent mixing.
In 1998 the six-track 10" record Smack was released, including 3 live songs and 3 unreleased songs that were recorded at the same time as Volvoland. The same year Nandor Hegedus left the band to concentrate on his studies. Brick chose to continue as a trio with guitarist Patrik Instedt in vocals.
After well over a year of playing and writing songs, Brick recorded 4 songs and released the 7" record Pistol in October 2000. A full-length album Automan, recorded on A West Side Fabrication with Pelle Gunnerfeldt from Fireside followed in 2001.

Sweat
"Sweat" is an upbeat song by the funk/R&B band Brick. The lyrics of the song revolve around the idea of physical movement and how it positively impacts the body. The song tries to motivate the listener to keep moving and dancing, even if they feel tired or hot. The chorus of the song repeatedly urges the listeners to sweat until they get wet, which means letting the perspiration flow freely until the body is drenched.
The song's message can be interpreted in different ways. On one hand, it can be seen as a simple dance tune that encourages people to let loose and have fun on the dance floor. On the other hand, it can be seen as a deeper message of self-care and the importance of taking care of one's body. The idea that sweating can be an enjoyable form of exercise and stress release is highlighted in the lyrics, and the song encourages the listener to embrace movement and let go of their inhibitions.
One interesting aspect of the song is its use of funk and R&B elements, which were popular in the late seventies and early eighties. The use of live instrumentation, including horns, guitars, and drums, adds a unique flavor to the song that distinguishes it from other disco or pop hits of that time. The song's catchy melody and energetic beat have made it a timeless classic that is still played in dance clubs and workout studios.

When this album was released Brick had been off the scene for several years. This was one hell of a comeback. The project was produced by Ray Parker, Jr.
@chrisa4695
I agree partially. They were putting out good music but not getting the airplay they deserved.
@keremkayi1318

This is so badass!! That bass, that flute, these guys were & will always be talented musicians.
@patrickjoncheret9811
Merci, merci grâce à un partage sur Facebook j'ai pû enfin trouvé ce formidable morceau que je cherchais depuis longtemps, pas moyen de retrouver le nom de cet ancien groupe, merci pour ces nombreux partages qu'il ne faut aucunement dénigrer. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@mojay11
This was the jam back in the day, haven't heard this one in years probably when it was first released in the early 80's which was their last hit they had before disappeared from the music scene. That was the cool thing about Brick they made some funky, feel good music which you don't hear anymore. Thanks for posting this.
@debraparker833
Exactly! You don’t hear this kind of jam anymore. The music today is garbage. 70s and 80s were the best.
@trentdavis733
That flute solo is straight 🔥 🔥 🔥!!!!
@user-jo9se7nc4l
I love old school music that was the day we need to take time and teach our children that this is real music 🎉🎉🎉🎉😊😊
