Brandy - Looking Glass (feat. the Back of the Bus Band) | Among Friends (Ep. 4)

[@Phenom172]

Thank you for covering "Brandy"! My Uncle is Elliott Lurie, the singer and writer of the song!

[@morgan97475]

Your uncle wrote a classic.

[@Patricia-qg6bd]

Great song!

[@garysandiego]

One of the best!

[@toddmclaren9281]

Your uncle's voice, and song, were a huge part of my youth. Without going into detail, I listened, sang, and played that Looking Glass jam from when it came out in high school until I left my radio career in the late 90's. Thank him for me.

[@christianbest1562]

Wow, your uncle helped create the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 soundtrack. You should be proud! 🤣

[@Tommeadowcroft]

This is a really fine group of musicians; they're perfect without appearing to make an effort. And Josh on the bongos looks so very happy. What a pleasure.

[@petertrout8140]

Though I always love to hear him on guitar!!!

[@jackey2681]

@@petertrout8140 Right! Incredible talent right here.

[@eddarby469]

Have you ever seen a smaller drum kit used in a performance? And that fellow has everything he needs. Bravo.

[@thomcat1969x]

I'm 55, this song was released when I was 4 and has stuck with me my entire life. I still have the 45! Love this ❤

[@michaelfisher9671]

Given the handheld single camera - shooting a whole band and not just Josh or a sitting duo - Kelly does a fine job here.

[@richardgratton7557]

Kelly, you’re a fine girl.😇

[@dianeo]

And not tripping up those stairs while trying to film! 👍👍

[@Kettletrigger]

If you've never recorded a song with a group of musicians, you may not realize how absolutely astonishing this is. One continuous take, a handful of mics, recording outside, and you sound THAT good? It's just incredible. Well done!

[@maryjensen5310]

I think it’s amazing that these young people appreciate 60’s and 70’s music. Made long before they were born. Fantastic performance.

[@cmotdibbler8105]

Bass player really steals the show in this one. Completely drives the song and amazing groove timing bang on

[@inber]

He's really tight!

[@belascialoja4812]

It's impossible to watch Marc on bass without just smiling your ass off -- he's loving it, every beat, every bar, the whole thing. Go Marc!

[@HomerJ1964]

Go watch their 2019 cover of Buffalo Springfield’s, For What It’s Worth.

[@justinpedalpusher]

I wish everyone enjoyed their self that much.

[@stevemcneal5207]

Yeah Marc is just killin' it on the bass ❤

[@JoshHarmon]

absolutely amazing! what a sound!

[@meetu_]

this is one the best series on youtube at the moment.... the music is perfect, the vibe is right on point and the cinematography is amazing.

[@InfinityEnterprises]

Such a fantastically controlled performance from the drummer, playing a groove that solid at a volume that low is not an easy thing.

[@brucezimmerman9451]

The Bus Band is always a treat to hear!!

[@braedenmoore1722]

Yeah I love these guys

[@ancientfifer]

WOW! I suddenly find myself poolside in the 1970s sipping an ice cold coke, hanging with dear friends, grooving to this song. Thank you so much for transporting me to a happy memory so eloquently🙏

[@direwolf7080]

Josh never misses. Everyone he collaborates with is of gigantic talent. Wow what a cover. Great camerawork from Kelly too.

[@ThePhilPeterson]

Josh & friends are adding joy to the world one song at a time makes my heart smile.

[@Anonymous-qm7ky]

Magical. Everyone looks like they’re radiating joy

[@robertsawvel45]

Josh Turner... what a talent. As are all the other musicians that play with him, including the amazing Carson McKee. Thanks everyone for sharing your talent. It is music to us, your audience's ears!.

[@tdrenker]

That was so much fun! Awesome players like these folks adding tasty licks, the vocals were so sweet (I swear you can hear the smiling)...the whole is more than the sum of the parts. Made my day so much better. Thank you!

[@kennethkilpatrick8693]

Hey you borrowed a line from Tim purcell of foxes and fossils fame! Lol. Awesome job Josh and the bus band!

[@josephteifer9714]

Excellent performance. I’m old enough to remember when this was a top hit. Always enjoy performances as close to the original.

[@Rjhs001]

OMG...I haven't heard Brandy in years...decades. Great cover, sent shivers down my back, so very close to the original. Thank you so much.

[@psquared56]

This song takes me back to the summer of 72, cleaning horse tack in a barn on a rainy Saturday morning. Funny how music can take us back into time. Great cover! You guys sound great together. Thanks Josh

SO awesome seeing a new generation of great musicians keeping great music alive! well done!!

[@kylemathis9591]

I can't explain it. I have watched so many of Josh Turner's covers of songs that always seemed so old and tired to me, and he just brings them to life. It is just a delight to hear them, and to watch his band play.

[@stevenvarner9806]

I've sat in the Pavilion so many times watching bands. I wish I had been there to see you guys in person. I hope you enjoyed your day there.

[@kenwoodbury1888]

From 1972, it was the happiest year of my youth. Named my first child, born in 1981 after this song. Always knew that I would.

[@paulpontes5048]

This young man named Joshua Turner is as polished a musician, singer and song writer that I have seen. He's a professional in every sense of the word.

[@byates59]

1972 was a great year for music! Thanks!

[@JamesCDavid]

Rally amazing, I also do music with not this much Subscribers, if you have some free time ,check it out

[@texashookem22]

Whomever mixed this, BRAVO! Absolutely perfect. And spotless musicianship, and stellar presence and vocals from Josh, as always. This was excellent. Thank you!

[@Deadhead.64]

One of my favorite songs for 40+ years! I love the way Josh sings, "...gifts..." @ 1:58!!

[@jennajordan4136]

A beautiful cover of one of my favorite songs. Put a smile on my face!

[@JulesPellattMessyStudySessions]

So glad you guys have met up again after so long. You are all such superb musicians!

[@susanne8299]

I just realized that 3/4 of my "good vibes" playlist are songs from Josh's channel. This gem's joining the team. Great job guys!

[@benc1927]

Love this song, and lots of great memories at Balboa Park, hanging out at this exact same spot. Bravo

[@CrustyAbsconder]

Around 1996, one of the band members of Looking Glass was a member of The Little River Band. LRB played a concert at a tiny beach-bar on the northern shore of Clear Lake ( near the tiny community of Del Lago - Texas, USA... near Houston ). My girlfriend and I were one of about 10 people in the audience of the outdoor performance. We danced to this song. I always thought there was something special about that song. This rendition is at least as good as the original.

[@EclecticHillbilly]

Nice rendition of this classic. The song was huge when it was out and seemed like it played on the radio every 15 minutes.

[@justinpedalpusher]

Yes! I’m so glad you guys are able to get out and work again! So much fun.

[@marjonvanamerongen6052]

Thank you for making me smile, I always liked this song but I LOVE your rendition! Love from Holland

[@jesterger]

You and your friends never fail to amaze me. The authenticity of you sound is always spot on! I don't know if you'll ever get rich, doing what you do but you will always be loved by your fans. If you ever do a cover of Please Come To Boston, You'll make a 65 year old man cry.

[@logansimmons3199]

[@stephenlondon3363]

Wow, this is absolutely awesome!! Brandy is one of my all-time favorite songs and I’ve heard countless versions but you guys really nailed it and especially as a musician and so many of my “past lives…I appreciate all the intense artistry and musicality and amazing vocal quality and everything you do… And so great to see you with Reina and Tony, maybe my favorite trio of everything you are involved with but that could change day today every time I see a new video and a new conglomeration of all you’re talented people… And as someone who used to make his own home recordings on two of the old-school Panasonic tape recorders and did multi track vocals and instrumentation and then graduated to doing all that in studios, I can appreciate how you sing and play every part like a modern day Paul McCartney making his debut solo album 🎼🎤🎸🎹🎸🥁🎸

I've watched all your covers and this is one of my favorites now. What beautiful music.

[@alainfung9843]

my mind boggles - i listen to so much music and no matter where how deep I go in Roon with all my favourite bands I always end up listening to something by you Josh and god damn I don't understand how you and your buds perform at such a high level and record at an even higher relative level to EVERYONE - this version of Brandy was insane - bravo bravo

Yet again this is a perfect example of maximum performance with minimal recording gear. I guess Josh isn't just sitting on the bass amp for convenience, it helps him keep in time? How is everyone monitoring the vocals and keys on stage? Also the backing vocals were such a perfect balance and pitch.
