Brick is the second album by the Atlanta, Georgia-based band Brick, released in 1977.[1] [2]
The Bay State Banner wrote: "Half of Brick's LP is no-nonsense party music, very simply played and economically produced. The rest is less interesting somewhat dullish ballads and slow-movers featuring the usual electric piano played for effect rather than excitement."[3]
"Fun" has been sampled by India Arie on her song "Video" from her 2001 album Acoustic Soul, Da Brat on the song "Live it Up" from her 1996 album Anuthatantrum, and Akinyele on his song "Put It in Your Mouth" from the EP of the same name. "Living from the Mind" has been sampled by En Vogue on the song "No No No (Can't Come Back)" from their 2000 album Masterpiece Theatre. "Ain't Gonna' Hurt Nobody" was sampled by Kid 'n Play in the song of the same name which was featured on their 1991 album Face the Nation, in their hit 1991 film House Party 2, and on its accompanying soundtrack.
