Commodores (album)

The band employed a variety of musical styles for the album, highlighted by the popular anthem "Brick House".

With Walter Orange's deep voice on the lead, and Ronald LaPread's bassline, this track peaked on the U.S.

"Brick House" means a "stacked" woman with an hour-glass figure.

In contrast to "Brick House", "Easy" is a pop ballad with mellow vocals by Lionel Richie.

In the UK and other Western European countries this album was released as Zoom on Tamla Motown.
