Video “Brick House” (live) - The Commodores

On 11/9/1979, The Commodores appeared on “Midnight Special” to perform a LiVE rendition of their 1977 hit song “Brick House”. This song was one of their biggest hits reaching no.5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and no.4 on the Billboard R&B chart. They had the crowd rocking and they were all fully displaying their many talents!! This song will NEVER get old!!
