[@FelixcatGarcia]

It's the fall of 1972 I'm stationed with MACV Adv TM86 Vietnam. I'm on the 6pm to 6am radio watch its midnight and I'm listening to AFVN radio, the South Vietnam anthem comes on and then the US anthem. The next thing you hear is Wolfman Jacks howel (and then in that unmistakable voice) and now "Looking Glass" with "Brandy You're A Fine Girl". I can never hear that song without seeing myself in that radio room so many years ago in a place so far away.

[@markg3947]

Yes mine was just living and working and enjoying life is southern Ontario Canada as a younger man. Brandy was very popular, especially among the ladies.

[@randirarick5801]

Elliot Lurie has still got it! Loved the original - love this version. Yonge Guns rocking the acapella harmonies. It's just SO.DAMN.GOOD.

[@andyinoregon]

No one before or since sounds like Elliot Lurie. One of the most distinctive voices in '70s music, and now in the new millenium with Yonge Guns.

[@AnnieMac608]

Outstanding -- takes me back to my youth! What I love most is that he sings this with the same emotion as if he's singing it for the first time, and Yonge Guns provide a terrific backup that reminds me of the harmonies I sing now when I hear it on XM radio.

[@gentryp63]

This is AWESOME! I've watched this about a dozen times in the last two days lol!

[@donthepoet]

that brought me to tears

[@peteroses5597]

Nationwide if you meet a woman 40 to 50 years old named Brandy. There is incredible odds this man is responsible for her name. Elliot you have thousands of children😊

[@c.myesska1798]

Keep smiling Elliot you sound like 1972! A Capella shows off that beautiful voice. Wow for the harmonies ❤

[@Ikine557]

Now THAT'S a blast from the past! Excellent job, gents!

[@carolynstein2423]

I must have listened to this 2 dozen times already, and I can't get enough of it. The song was great in its original format, but this version is the tops! Great job guys, and thank you for sharing it!!!!!

[@DominicNJ73]

So...that was freakishly awesome.

[@carolmiller6487]

I can’t stop listening to this.

[@passonthering]

A great favorite song from my heyday plus one of my very favourite barbershop quartets equals three minutes and thirty-two seconds of pure joy. The lead vocal from Elliot Lurie is absolutely brilliant and beautiful. The chart is so perfect, and the way it all comes together is magic to my ears. Thanks for your glorious efforts, gents.

[@missblackwood]

So good! What a special opportunity for you guys!💯😃

[@edhoward6935]

Best thing I've heard in a while. Great job!

[@deborahlonczinski2731]

[@DominicNJ73]

No you weren't.

[@andypeters5811]

[@kymerickson.sparks8615]

Elliot still has amazing chops! Glad I found this video today.

[@tomharmon3125]

WOW, glad to see Elliot is still the class act he was in the 70's. I love this song, takes me back to a simple time in my life.... Thanks Elliot

[@AchillGirl]

I simply adore Elliot Lurie's smile :-)

[@DaveOrth]

I played this for my 18 year old daughter and she said the same thing! I think she said something like "Oh, he's so sweet!" And then I found a video of their live performance from '72 and we both had a great time watching that as well. Elliot, you have aged GRACEFULLY!

[@stillmandevilla7002]

Love this!! Brandy was the first record I ever bought and I still have it. I was 11. Still one of my very favorites.

[@carolmallett3516]

[@deborahlonczinski2731]

Absolutely beautiful 😍

[@marshallross3373]

Very nice. I had a friend in UC Berkeley's Men's Octet (back in the 1980's), and this song was a staple of theirs. What a cool song, full of pathos, heart, and an all around killer tune.

[@bethsilnieks7645]

love it

[@mescko]

Anyone who doesn't like A Capella is missing out on so much...the first, and still the best, instrument. Always liked this song, and this version is marvelous!

[@yvonnemendez3075]

Luv this great song

I love this new collaboration! I grew up listening to this song. It was one of my father's favorites to crank up on the radio. Dad's gone now, but this song still makes me smile. Great job... you still have a smooth voice Mr Lurie!

[@lola-littleoldladyadventur5353]

That was AMAZING!

[@stephenshy9941]

nice job guys i love it

[@jackfitpatrick6416]

Someone here says it Elliot Lurie had one of the most distinctive voices of the 70's much like BJ Thomas or Glen Campbell with a sound and an under-explored style. I urge everyone to search e-bay for his 1974 Epic single (i can hear your)""Love Song" on Epic label. It should have been a major hit. Happy to see that Elliot Lurie is surviving with great recordings with YoungGuns in 2020. Jack Fitzpatrick

[@ilanalazar9268]

BTW these comments are from Barbara Lazar, using Ilana's account. I remember the original when it first came out, still know all the words by heart, still love the groove..

[@bethsilnieks7645]

You are better than when when you were a teen or so

[@bethsilnieks7645]

is the bottom left with the deep voice? The young guy?

[@bethsilnieks7645]

hard to believe he has such a deep voice

[@barbarakiewe4917]

Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol 2 Quill: Brandy? By Looking Glass? Ego: A favorite of your mom’s. Ego: One of Earth’s greatest musical compositions. Perhaps its very greatest.

Bass mic was a little hot but still my fave!!!!
