"Dazz" is a song by R&B/funk band Brick. "Dazz" is a combination of disco, funk and jazz, hence the title "Dazz", a combination denominator for "Disco Jazz".[2] Released in 1976 from their debut album Good High, it would become their biggest hit, spending four weeks at the top of the R&B singles chart, while reaching number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 41 on Billboards year-end chart.[3] In Canada, it reached number 26.[4]
Another popular 1970s-era soul group, the Dazz Band, took their name from the song.[5] The song was featured in a house party scene in the 2016 action-comedy film The Nice Guys, set in 1977. It was also featured in a scene in the 2019 Elton John biopic, Rocketman.
