funkpill..YOU RULE!!! That shit brought tears to my eyes. (lol) Never knew there was a clip for this. They need to get it together while they're all still alive. Keep 'em comin'!

I always thought Lionel Richie sang that song!
They sound so alike also!

that's correct.Walter sang lead on "Brick House","Too Hot Ta Trot" and a few others,but Lionel handled most of the lead vocals.

Oops, I opened this thread thinking someone was looking for me!

Anyhoo, funny but true story:

When "Brickhouse" was out, I was about 7 years old and I saw The Commordores on Soul Train (at least I think it was Soul Train) and I thought Walter "Clyde" Orange was my brother, who'd left home and joined the military. They looked just alike at the time. So for the next year when anyone asked about my brother, I would reply that, "He's in the tv making brick houses!"

Hey, I was only 7! I finally got it though, when he came home in his uniform and he refused to show me the pictures of the "brickhouses" that were always locked in his footlocker but he kept showing his friends!
