Product Description

    • Brick House by the Commodores

    • This disco classic is about a woman with a great body. She is "Built like a Brick House." The original phrase is, "She's built like a brick s--t house." That's the reason for the pause with the horn fill between the words "brick" and "house.".
    • As explained in Commodores press materials, when the group needed another song for the album, their guitar/trumpet player William King was sent home to write one. He fell asleep trying to think of something, and when he woke up, there was a pad of paper on his chest with the lyrics written on it. Lucky for King, his wife Shirley Hanna-King was also a songwriter, and she wrote the words while he was sleeping. The lyrics were put to a groove the band came up with in a jam session to complete the song. This arrangement, in the original key of a minor, has 4 horns (Trumpet, Alto Sax, Tenor Sax and Trombone) plus rhythm section. (Electric Guitar, Electric Piano, Electric Bass and Drum Set) A solo section is provider for horns and rhythm section improv...

    • Written at the Advanced Intermediate level, it is playable by both advanced high school and college musicians

             Performance time approx. 3 min. 20 sec.
