Missouri , Earth , 1980
😂😂👍
@Antonia Leue lmafo
Yes
I'm not from Earth, I'm from Missouri
Yes. Not to be confused with Missouri, Jupiter.
Im 66 and this is my 22 year old Grandson Niks fav song!! How proud am I ?!?!
Very!
If that’s his only accomplishment that explains the mess this country is in. 😢
@@JayPhillips-du4hnShe never said that was his only accomplishment
I'm 33 and I love this song.
When I was in 6th grade these guys came to play for us in the Gym...it was AWESOME 😎. I still love this song and I'm now 62 years old!!!!
That's so cool!
Oh man, is too, they came to our Compton Unified School District!
YES!!
Thats sooo cool
Awesome...
I'm 64. Love this song..
I loved this since it came. I am 74 now. The best music ever.
Many commentators ask "who's still listening"? Well those of us who lived through those wonderful carefree years as young people, and now we're old we choose to keep reliving those years ❤😂
yes
I am 71 and will love this song for ever❤❤❤❤
@pmarsh6790 i hate those people trying for likes.
@@blackfacePM me too😂👍
I absolutely love this song. It's like a movie telling a story, but in just a few minutes. You can picture Brandy, the sailor she loves, the ship, the ocean, the bar...
I didn't have a TV when growing up, so reading books was like watching a movie, your brain and imagination at work. And yes like you I can picture all that in this song.
Like copa cabana

I can still sing this song I first heard 40 years ago by memory. Made a video out of photos taken at the yacht club 2 weeks and was looking for a background song. Woke up in the morning and this song popped into my head. Still humming and singing it everyday 😁
I've listened to it for 2 years and I still see the bar, the ocean, the city, and brandy
One of Earth’s finest compositions.
I concur..
Absolutely...
Possibly the finest...
perhaps it’s very greatest
Ego was absolutely right.
In the early 70's my parents rented a cottage on the shores of Lake Huron. My Dad always brought his multi-band portable radio. It usually got turned on when the sun was just rising over the lake. This is one of the songs I remember playing and it remind me of the happiest times of my childhood.
Both of my parents are long gone. I now have that radio. It still kinda works and I listen to it at my cabin now.
This music that I listened to as a kid on AM radio is the sh...t, this music will go on for another century, unlike new age, what they think is music like rap, hiphop, etc, todays kids have no clue!!!
I am a former US Marine and Navy diver. This song explains our med and pac cruises. I lived this song, and it often brings tears to my eyes because it's one of those songs that tell the story of sailors and Marines. It was my story as well.-First Sergeant.
Thank you for your service.
"One of Earth's greatest musical compositions. Perhaps it's very greatest."
They're wrong.
They are

Groovy
one of the great pop songs no doubt
Both my parents died at the beginning of this year. I was named after the song. It’s great to be able to sit here and listen to it and know that they named me after such awesome Lyrical art.
Sorry
Hope you’re doing well Brandi. Hang in there ❤️
Wow, thinking of you, keep in touch xx
I am soooo sorry… when we are not in this realm we are in the presence of our Creator.
My 2 year old labradoodle is also named Brandi (with an I ❤) after this song! I also lost my dad about 6 months ago. So funny how music plays the soundtrack of our lives. Much love to you 💖
I'm here in 2024! What a great song! Timeless! This is from a time of real music!
This wonderful song reminds of my first adult relationship. We spent many hours riding in her 1971 Mustang with a 3 -speed console mounted transmission and 60s songs playing on the radio. RIP, Shannon. You will always be part of me.
That's awesome 😎
Sweet memories....
Actually the console mounted transmission in ford mustangs did not come into use until 1972
Beautiful ❤️
That's is a fond memorie and God knows how you feel about you loss, Condolences and Prayers!!!✝️👑🙏♥️
Guardians of the Galaxy introduced the young generation with a lot of Great music
Yes they did!! Love that show and the music was awesome!!
Love the film was listening to this way back in the 70s still sounds amazing
GUARDIANS brought me here too. After about the 5th time listening to this, I got the goose bumps and knew this song rocked. I'm 52...lol lololol I'll ill
I’m 14 and I’m proud to say Guardians Of The Galaxy DID NOT bring me here
I hate how that movie used this song to represent a romantic situation in that movie because I always said this song represented my dating life and now I just look like a poser
I am a sailor, and I have loved this song since it was released. It is so true.
Hooyah!
@@brantjordan9864I've never seen someone confuse military branch AND not spell the motto correctly!!😂😂😂

I was Born in 1963. We definitely had the best music
You are absolutely correct RosieRose!
Sixty two here👍
1963 here my daughter Brandi just turned 30 last week...😊
Was born in 2009, I gotta admit you guys do have the best music
When music was actually created by artists playing actual instruments.
I’m a lung cancer patient and my favorite nurse in the chemotherapy suite is a beautiful woman named Brandy ! Every time I see her I think of this song , she’s so sweet and caring ❤❤!!
How sweet are you
in love with her? It’s so romantic
Aren't women beautiful!
How are you doing?I hope you're doing better. Keep fighting, you got this.
Ask her if she knows the song, if not...play it for her !
Good luck my friend!! God bless you and best wishes
Holy Sweet Bejesus, never have I heard such a catchy and funky song. The 70s were no joke when it came to music!
ruclips.net/video/5bp2vPEATK4/видео.html crazy ninja, incredible era of music 👍🏻👍🏻I stumbled upon this interesting character who dissects and reacts to great 70’s music 😊he has an eclectic taste you might enjoy!!
Good song 80s best music ever
@@ginnywhat5777 I was being sarcastic.
There's a bunch of weird ones!
Way better than now, that’s for sure. It’s because record labels only want what the sheep think is good.🤷🏽♂️
Possibly one of the greatest songs ever written... just something about this song... you can visualize the whole story behind it.
Hello friend, how're you doing today?
Yes... even though the "story" was completely made up by Lurie.
and.... it was a great summer when it came out.
It brings me some great memories 😊
Love this so much especially cause I’m an army brat who was also a bartender (I know it’s about sailors/navy)
My mom and I sang this song everyday for years I'm singing it to my mama in heaven now#2024❤

I would bet any amount that she is singing it with you.
@@marksmith4346 I pray so Thank you💖
This is way better than today's pop music
By far 👍
Of course!
I still see my dad driving as I sat in the backseat as he listened to this song on KHJ Los Angeles on the radio in the 70s. RIP DAD!!
I’m sorry for your loss

JK im really sorry

Great 70’s ~ I’m 64 & ter never will be another era of this Music‼️👍🏻
rest easy mom. She passed today 8/12/55 to 7/21/23. This was the song I heard all throughout my life lol . Had to listen to it. Teachers would serenade me in grade school.
Rest In Peace to your mom🙏🔆🌻

Are you kidding? After you mentioned your mum dieing you type lol. Get a grip, typing lies doesn't cut it!

Absolutely LOVE this song... my name is Brandy. I was a cocktail waitress many, many years ago n I would play this song while I worked. It always puts a smile on my face.
Love the oldies genre... BEST ever
I agree this was a great tune and many more from the 70s 😎✌
@brandy jam I wish I was there.
😍
The songs about you
Brandy, yr a fine girl. I hope this song always makes yoiu smile.
Just another Brandy here, commenting about her love of this sad, sweet, beautiful song! And also a shout-out to MCU Guardians 2 for keeping the love alive!!! ❤
Beautiful music. A quality that is missing in today's generation
Pretty much, a lot of rap and pop is uninspired or literally just sounds in an incoherent order. Although, turn the lights back on by Billy Joel is really good and released in march

My mom was raised in the 70s ('82 here) so I grew up listening to 70s music. I've absolutely loved this song since I was a little girl!

Always reminds me of my mother..flying to Boston to see her after my parents divorced,, and she would play this on repeat on a 45. Funny how much this song means to me.

Such an ageless song that magically takes me back to the 70s...a more simple time. Thanks guys. :)
Definitely takes you back to a better place and time. I wish it was the 70s again. Just turned 55 recently. Oh to go back and relive those days. I luv this song
Not only a simple time, but the best time in my life.

I am 73; almost 74 (will be on 2/19) I played trumpet with the Missin’Links Showband for 18 years and we all called it quits after 2017. BRANDY WAS ALWAYS MY FAVORITE SONG WITH LYRICS.......Doc
Back when songs told a story. It's like watching a movie with my ears. Amazing piece of work. Beautiful love story. Would love to see a video of this
Indeed. Not like the modern "cheating" or "breakup" or "revenge" songs like of today. But it was about a tragic story of two people who fell in love but belonged to different worlds, as one waits and longs to see someone who may never return.
i saw a "video" of sorts. it was a clip of the band standing there playing the song. it wasn't special
Same here my friend,it would be great 👍🏼 🍻💙
One of the best songs ever !!!
Exactly! Yes, “like a watching a movie with my ears”! Well put @ronaldhill7180
My name is Brandy & I am Spaniard & I love the ocean, so I absolutely love this song🔆🌻
That's so cool😊
❤🎉😂
Absolute embarrassing guff.
What a coincidence!!
Omg youre brandy 😧
I remember when this came out, I heard it in a truck stop when I was hauling horses from Oklahoma to Arizona. Liked it then and still do, nothing else.
Wow

The song says “Brandy wears a braided chain with the finest silver from the north of Spain”
I currently live on SAIPAN.. it's a bigger island near ROTA. (Both are part of the CNMI... Commonwealth of the Northern Marianas Islands ) It's possible you might have been born on Saipan instead of Spain. The spelling is close. Best regards..and you will love to visit Saipan, or part of the CNMI.
WLS in Chicago and KIMN in Denver played this over & over! So good! Oh, to be 15 years old again!
I’m a sailor in the Merchant Marine. This is my jam while at sea and before I ship out. Still waiting for my brandy but surely my life, my lover, my lady is the sea.
That's what I say .. This song contains insight.
The composed was a seaman. My father was a merchant seaman. He told me his greatest other love was the sea.
My father was in the Merchant Marine. He told me sea stories. He, too, had a love for sea.

I love this song. The part that I always listen for is the trumpet coming in that slow, growing line during "he came on a summer day." This is a song full of favorite moments but that trumpet is my favorite.
I love the brass in this track too!
I first heard this in 1972,and it's still a gr8 song.😊
😲😲😲
this song has been stuck in my head ever since I saw Guardians of the Galaxy vol.2. The way Kurt Russel talks about it and just how perfectly it fit in the movie. I love this song!

I have loved this song since the first time I heard it 50 years ago when I was 12. I am now 62 and still love it just as much. The storytelling is vivid and evocative. Lyrically, it reminds me of many traditional Celtic folk songs that have been passed down for generations.

@@thesundayseshlads it was the best time to be young. The music was great until disco hit.😂😂
Fall quarter, freshman year Mercer University, 1983. I had this single on in my dorm room. Pretty unhip, technically, but everybody just kind of lingered to hear it, so I aimed my speakers out the third-story window onto the quad and started it over, at top volume. Everything stopped dead for three minutes, and a huge cheer went up from all over the campus when it ended. People stood up and clapped and shouted. It's just that kind of song. What a great memory.

@@dianawalker1622 Yep- (long-gone) New Men's Dorm, room 314.
There's a port on a western bay
And it serves a hundred ships a day
Lonely sailors pass the time away
And talk about their homes
And there's a girl in this harbor town
And she works layin' whiskey down
They say, Brandy, fetch another round
She serves them whiskey and wine
The sailors say, "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"Yeah, your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea"
Brandy wears a braided chain
Made of finest silver from the North of Spain
A locket that bears the name
Of the man that Brandy loved
He came on a summer's day
Bringin' gifts from far away
But he made it clear he couldn't stay
No harbor was his home
The sailors say, "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"
Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes
When he told his sailor stories
She could feel the ocean fall and rise
She saw its ragin' glory
But he had always told the truth, Lord, he was an honest man
And Brandy does her best to understand
At night when the bars close down
Brandy walks through a silent town
And loves a man who's not around
She still can hear him say
She hears him say, "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"
It is, yes it is
He said, "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"

did he die?
My sister's name is Brandy and we used to sing it together as children. She ended up marrying a military man who gave her a locket from Spain, and we cried listening to it when he left. It's one of those songs that follow you prophetically through life, I listen to this song when I miss her. ❤

I'm sorry he passed away. I appreciate his service to this country. Wishing you and your children the best.
Still great music in 2024 !!
One of those classics from when music really meant something. Of course I’m 57 though. 😂
It's impossible to say what makes this song so great. Great tune, great instruments, vocalization. And the lyrics are so haplessly tragic despite the upbeat tune. She's got all the qualities that any guy would snatch up in an instant but she's destined to be alone because instead of guys liking her as a person they'd rather prefer the personification of the cruel, hard, lonely life of the sea. And despite all this, there is a happy sounding chorus extolling Brandy's virtues.
Deep
Garret Gray I think it's more that the sailors know that their "calling" is greater than settling down with Brandy. She is fated to live a lonely life not because these men prefer the sea, but because she is hopelessly in love with one of them and can't help it
Excellent way of looking at it. This song keeps on giving!
I like to think of the sea as the same thing as traveling today. One can't settle down if they have a burning desire to travel for extended periods of time.
Very profound .....
I bet this song is the reason so many girls born in the 70s were named Brandy.
Works for me.🙂
I grew up loving this song and I named my daughter Brandy
@LindaOliver, that's true. When I was 13 my best friend had a crush on a girl named Brandy in Jr High School. When he finally told her he discovered he had a Brain Tumor after we had been Boxing a little and had an unusual headache. His parents took him to the Hospital a few days later where they discovered it was about the size of a Golf Ball. He was placed in the Hospital for surgery. For two yrs he lingered in and out of the Hosp until he finally died on Fathers Day 2 yrs later. My point,,,every time I hear this song I think about my friend who died waaay too early at 15 years of age.
@@gary1286 I'm so sorry about the passing of your friend. Thank you for sharing that beautiful, but sad, story with me.
@@1computernew You're welcome. Ya know to this day me and his Mother are still friends, and I'm 57 yrs old. At the time Jeff and I were only 13. When I hit him, he fell back against the wall and slid down. I was even laughing at him. But when he was still complaining of a headache an hr later I had my Mom take him home. Days later when he was diagnosed w the tumor, being only 13, I blamed myself and told his Parents it was all my fault. They reassured me it was Not my fault. According to the Drs he had been born with it and it just got bigger. But I couldn't help it, I still blamed myself. He was my best friend and was fine before we started boxing. He lingered in and out of that Hospital for 2 years. He went through absolute Hell, and I never once heard that kid complain. He was one of the toughest kids I'd ever met. I guess I just needed to share that story again. Thankyou for your condolences.
I was drafted into the US Army back in 1971 and later sitting in Ft Dix waiting to go to Germany when I heard this song for the first time!! Wonderful song always reminds me of that time ready to ship out to Germany!
Came out in 72?
The different memories, remarkable, my names not even Brandy
One of The Best songs of all time!
Classic! Everything's in place here: an irresistible beat, a cooking horn arrangement, cooking back-up vocals, great guitar playing and sound, a compelling story in the lyric, and of course a great lead vocal. A++++.
Just listened to this song again today, and noticed the subtle horn swell that builds to a crescendo at each climactic part in the song before cutting back to build a nice dynamic flow. Absolutely masterful production, and a great song.
Love the horn section too!
This song is long, hot summers spent gazing at the mountains, jumping on the trampoline, eating Otter Pops; all while listening to the best music ever. The 60s and 70s.
And the 80s
@ Shelly Logan; if U look at the sidebar (to the R on my screen, there are links to other videos from the 60s and 70s. if you download "YTD free youtube downloader" you can download the video 2 yer computer either as a video or an MP3 . In fact, I think I'll capture an mp3 of "December 1963"(oh what a night)" by the four seasons, because 1963 is my birth year
What the hell are otter pops?
Yes, my neighbors had a tramp. Spent hours on it and got pretty good. My friend broke his arm trying to do a triple somersault but in those days it wouldn't have occurred to anyone to sue your neighbors.
Many Sailors... Around The World 🌎 Are Still Saying...Oh My Lovely Brandy...You Are Such A... Fine... Beautiful... Gorgeous... Baby Girl...!!!!... 💕 💕 💕 💕... 🌹 🌹 🌹 🌹...!!!!
This song goes to all sailors in the Navy and Merchant Marine! Their love for the sea is amazing!
One of Earth's greatest musical compositions, perhaps the greatest.
"You shouldn't have killed my mom and squished my walkman."
The chain song is playing
???that movie has nothing to do with this song . THIS is from another time 1970-79
@@mariocisneros911 This song was in guardians of the galaxy vol. 2 and plays before the villian destroys star-lord’s Walkman.
@@mariocisneros911 It's both, from another time and also has to do with Guardians of the Galaxy.
Pop
I was a United States Navy sailor I get a lot of good memories from this song .To all the beautiful girls I met overseas thanks for a good time.
Can we all agree Meredith Quill has the best taste in music?
I still remember this song during my high school days back in 70's. Now i'm 67 and i always love to hear this song.
👍😁🇵🇭🎵🎶
Me too, same age. Great memories!❤😅🎉🎶
I woke up with this song in my head this morning, had to look it up. I'm 67 also and this song was the bomb when it came out. Everybody was playing it and singing it all over school. I wish someone would make a movie out of this song,.
Something that ends happily maybe. idk. Just evokes so many memories.
As a U.S Navy and Merchant Marine sailor, this goes straight to my heart.
Tjsnk you for yiur service, sir
Makes me think of getting ready for school when I was a teen. Our local radio station would play that daily at 6:30 am.
Thats one awesome radio station.
Rosalind Coleman no
Thank god we didnt have to listen to rap
Rosalind Coleman August of 1972. 😂 😂 😂
Pretty sure that was theme song. A good one to
I’m only 19 and I really like this type of music! I listened to 60’s, 70’s, and 80’s music for much of my childhood and I’ve continued to as an adult. The music during that time period is my favorite!
We the same buddy,I'M 21 though😂
Love it so much. My dad was a sailor when this came out and I always think about him when I hear it. He lived to be in the Navy.
Some men feel a deep connection to the sea. Personally, it terrifies me, but I think it’s beautiful too. I understand why a man would want to spend his life on the waves. I hope your father found his peace out there, and I’m sure somewhere he’s still sailing! ❤️
So Guardians 2 opens with this song and my wife and I look at one another( 70s children) and we both started to sing the song. Thank you James Gunn for that special moment.
The whole cinema here in Dubai were singing
Sounds like you're a lucky man
@@k9px yeah i married a cool chick
Loved reading through the comments. So refreshing to see so many like-minded souls appreciating this timeless classic. I think it resonates differently for each of us but, most of us end up at the same place. At 59 years old now, I have, so many times, played out my own video in my mind as I listened to this entrancing song. Just as many others, I could see Brandy serving the whiskey & wine to the lonely sailors. I could picture the scene of the hardwood floors, the rustic tables, and our lovely Brandy setting down the many mugs of beer and the shots of whiskey in front of her many customers. Not only that, I could imagine all the come-ons and advances she must have endured. I could picture the beautiful chain with the locket from her lover. The chorus kicks in and, I can relate to the pain of being in love with someone who is not there. "My" Brandy is a slim brunette with a simple beauty that requires no makeup and (of course) the most beautiful eyes that leave you breathless. I can feel what she is feeling, as she walks through her silent town, her heart yearning for her love that is not around. A song that invokes so much emotion and personal connection, experienced by so many. I am right there with you - my heart going out to Brandy, my admiration for her faithfulness and, my hopes that she will have her lover with her again very soon.
❤😍🥰😘🫶👍
That was AMAZING !!!!
Music moved on and will never be this good again. Sadly, if a group out there creates work of this quality, you'll likely never hear them.
Sometimes, you just can’t like a comment hard enough.
I couldn't have said (wrote) this better myself.
I have always loved this song. Im 61 and it never gets old😊
I've only met one Brandy before, and what a girl I only wish I was younger and available at that time😊
This was my favorite song of 1972
Mine as well I was 8 years old first 45 record I ever had still love it always will!
@@lisarousseau788 "the finest SILVER from the North of Spain".
@@user-zh4cq4zy1n a locket that bears the name of a man that Brandy loved lol
MY CHORUS TEACHER WAS THE KEYBOARDER IN THIS SONG!!!!!!!!! YEAH MR. GONSKY!!
Alex Holihan that's dope
Wow! That’s amazing!
That's pretty cool
Fantastic keyboard part. Begins the song and really carries it throughout.
Gorgeous piano - love that fat Wurlitzer sound - nice phrasing, sus chords, almost a touch of country, too! And I played keys for a living for 30 years..
never found my Brandy; but still love the song
You'll find your Brandy. Trust me. Just look a little harder
@@gabriellechavez9504 well I may be beyond the time for that young lady, but thank you for the sentiment. nice. take my advice: take some chances in your relationships - meet lots and lots of "possibles" before you commit. that way the commitment will stay, which is what it's all about. you marry not for that first day or first year or first feeling, but for those long away days, sitting together and still holding hands. God Bless.
She is out there keep looking. I found mine 22 years ago. She has given me many great memories. She has also blessed me with 4 children aged 20, 18, 15, and new arrival this coming December 2020. So keep looking.
Still looking for my Brandy and my sweet Melissa
I'm the young teen here and I'm loving the replies in this comment. I just love listening stories of people older than me. Much respect for you all!
I was born in 1981. And my name is brandy Ilove it
One of the best songs ever!💜 Listening to it right now on the way to the beach!! Whoop whoop!!🙌🏼
Sing along ....
There's a port on a western bay
And it serves a hundred ships a day
Lonely sailors pass the time away
And talk about their homes
And there's a girl in this harbor town
And she works layin' whiskey down
They say, Brandy, fetch another round
She serves them whiskey and wine
The sailors say, "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"Yeah, your eyes could steal a sailor from the sea"
Brandy wears a braided chain
Made of finest silver from the North of Spain
A locket that bears the name
Of the man that Brandy loved
He came on a summer's day
Bringin' gifts from far away
But he made it clear he couldn't stay
No harbor was his home
The sailors say, "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"
Yeah, Brandy used to watch his eyes
When he told his sailor stories
She could feel the ocean fall and rise
She saw its ragin' glory
But he had always told the truth, Lord, he was an honest man
And Brandy does her best to understand
At night when the bars close down
Brandy walks through a silent town
And loves a man who's not around
She still can hear him say
She hears him say, "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"
It is, yes it is
He said, "Brandy, you're a fine girl" (you're a fine girl)
"What a good wife you would be" (such a fine girl)
"But my life, my lover, my lady is the sea"
Respect ✊
best comment ever lol
Thx!
Thx!
Second verse is "the sailor said." It's talking about the specific one she loved, not the many who visit the bar.
I have loved this song from when I first heard it back in high school!!! The lead singer has the best voice that fits this groove perfectly!!! Those great times back in the best decade ever to hit earth. THE 70S!!!!!
I wish I was ther to experience the 70s 😭
i am lost in the 70's and would go back and stay there if given the chance!!! Now we had MUSIC!!!
@@karensuehampton8233 Me too, best decade ever, so glad I grew up in that era.
I am with you you, I grew up in the '70's and hundred percent agree!!
me too I had just gotten out of school when this came on
A post listing songs from 1972 showed this as # 1 song. Also reminded me of this song. I was a Junior in high school in 1972 and much more interest in fishing and outdoors more than school.
This child of the 70's still listening 😊
