Brick: Good High - TGIF

Brick - Good High.  Stay with me on this one.  What a song I just unearthed.  Buy a used record for .49 cents because frankly - the album cover is awesome.  Sample a few songs and voila - find a terrific song.  The gem of a song on this record is called Dazz. It' is bt Brick.  Not sure if Brick is tthe band name of this guy's name.  The song is like one you've heard before - but you are not sure when or where.  What is it: jazz, funk, disco, fusion, post punk?  Here is the story - "Dazz" was a hit song by R&B/funk band Brick. "Dazz" is a combination of the words disco and jazz. It was released in 1976 from their Good High album, it would become their biggest hit, spending four weeks at the top of the R&B singles chart and reaching number three on the Billboard Hot Hundred singles chart.  Ice Cube sampled the keyboard riff and lyric "Well alright" in his rap song called No Vaseline.  Some other rapper sampled the keyboard riff in a 1988 song "Cinderfella Dana Dane."  Allegedly this this song inspired the Flint, MI broadcaster Vernon Merritt to tag his new FM radio station with the call letters WDZZ.  Check out the song - it's really catchy.
