Brandy

“Brandy (You’re a Fine Girl)” is a 1972 pop song written by Elliot Lurie and recorded by Lurie’s band Looking Glass on their debut album Looking Glass. The single reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, remaining in the top position for one week. Horns and strings were arranged by Larry Fallon. The lyrics tell of Brandy, a barmaid in a port town. She wins the admiration of many of the sailors, but cannot return their feelings—the love of her life was unwilling to abandon his true love, the sea. In spite of this, Brandy continues to love the sailor and wears a braided silver chain with a locket that bears his name. It’s been suggested the song is inspired by the real life story of Mary Ellis (1750-1827), whose grave resides in New Brunswick, New Jersey where the band was formed.[1] “Brandy” was the B-side of another Looking Glass song, and is rumored to have become an accidental hit.
