"He Knows Where My Locker Is"

Brick - Brick (1977)
Brick. A funk ensemble out of HOTlanta. Also the name of a damn good movie starring a former cast member of Third Rock From the Sun who is not named John Lithgow. But these guys hit big with "Dazz" - it's disco - it's jazz - it's....a mixture of both. This record contains a track called "Dusic" which, i guess is a mixture of "disco" and "music" which to me sounds like a slight against disco, possibly unintentional. But the track I'm all about is "Ain't Gonna Hurt No Nobody", which is just one of those tunes that has been rolling around in the back of my head for years. I would generally call this a medium piece of funk. Not quite redolent of the yacht style, but not the dirty back alley stuff, either. However, it's got enough action going on to keep the crowd stepping. The group sort of paved the way for your Lakesides, your Dazz Bands, - the glossier stuff. But you shouldn't mind. After all, it ain't gonna hurt nobody . . . to get on down.
