I'm an old man (a clean one) of 72 with daughters and grand daughters, and you can't know much lovely enjoyment you bring to me by what you do with your music. I love your band....
I was watching Elliot Lurie do a fairly recent a capella version of this song on RUclips. I commented how great he sounded and sent him a link to this and he replied that he loved the "live from the van version"! Thought that was cool and you should know about it 👍
Wow! Thanks ladies! O was born in 1963, and I was a little boy, probably no more than 7 or 8 when "Brandy" climbed the charts back in the day. I can remember loving the song, and imagining my favorite uncle singing it when I would hear it on the radio, and thinking about one of the girls in my school that I had a crush on as the girl in the song. Isn't it funny, how we taylor our associations to songs to our own lives!
Great job girls. Time goes by at a blink of an eye. Enjoy your life. I've always loved this song . Missing my young life. Oh what a time I had................
You really don't understand.. This song is so precious to folks like me. I was a Vietnam veteran stationed on the USS Saratoga. We saw, loved and understood the Olangapo girls in the Philippines. I loved a girl here by the name of Christie. I still miss her to this day 44 years later. This song still means alot to me. Thanks for the memories.
This song always reminds me of AFROTC Field Training ... officer's basic training ... at Hamilton AFB, California, in 1972. I had a transistor radio and this song seemed to be playing all the time. Good memories. Thank you for singing this.
I remember back in 1972 commuting from Kitchener to Hamilton Ontario in my 1962 Rambler Classic Wagon singing this song at the top of my lungs. It’s wonderful to see and hear young people playing our music on RUclips. Reina, you certainly surround yourself with great collaborators!
Not only are your performances always high quality and heart-warming but you consistently introduce me to great music I haven't heard of. Love your choice of music!
Hello Reina, You girls are so good at what ever song that you perform. I remember this one very well the first summer I came back home from Vietnam. I'll be 73 in a couple months, and I sure enjoy both of your talent.
Another gem from you guys. I love how you embrace these old songs from half a century ago. You're parents must have been playing these tunes all the time. Good times.
could not love both for her making music, singing, beautiful natures and good vibrations more. So you make people really happy and I will sent you my love back
Being from a Navy town this song has special meaning to me. When my dad retired from the Navy in the mid 1960s he went into managing restaurants and bars. He oversaw the management of a bar called Jack's American which was near the gates of the largest Navy Base in the world, The Norfolk Navel Base so most of his customers were sailors and other military personal. Since this song romanticized a sea port town this song resonated with the customers and was a very popular song on the jukebox. I still have the 45 records of this song that was on that jukebox. Thanks for covering this song.
I love this video. There is so much joy in Van Morrison that it spills out into the world. Thank you for sharing. I remember when my aunt bought the 45rpm (vinyl record) of this song.
And then, watching the 1988 Summer Olympics, there was a 15-yo gymnast named Brandy Johnson (now Brandy Johnson-Scharpf). Watching her warm up, one of the male color commentators mentioned that she was named after the song, and the female commentator couldn't believe that the song was that old!
Beautiful. A great song but more important the beautiful voices and obvious talent passed down from one generation of talent to another. You girls compliment each other beautifully. What a great video. Your Mom has every reason to be proud and smile.
Hi ladies- great job🤘 This is a band that every time I hear this song I can’t believe they didn’t have another hit or 10! Such a good story too!🙂❤️⭐️⭐️💋💋☀️🔥🕊🦋.
Wow. Just wonderful! (2) beautiful young ladies who show a lot of class while they do their thing! One of my all time favorite songs, and you guys rocked it out! Awesome van song! Congrats on being very talented, and very lovely.
Every video from RdC has at least one comment from somebody of a certain age (cough...MY age...cough) saying how great it is to hear young performers with such fantastic talent paying homage to wonderful music from our day and doing it so well. Count me among them! I was very sad to hear you no longer have that recording of your Mom singing Brandy though 😔
Very sweet tribute....That song came out when I was in the 10th grade......all the girls loved it !!.....was a big sing along number back then.......your rendition reminds me of that......truly, another place and another time.
I love you gals! Twenty five years ago I was playing tunes that you now play and I love hearing you. Thank you for the memories! And now with a new Martin D-28.
When this song came out I was a sailor, (US Navy). I like to tell people it was back closer to the days of wooden ships and iron men. Lol. I was more of a drunk than a ladies man, but I liked the song just as well. You did a nice job of it, and thanks for the memories.
My sister and I have been signing this song together since we were little kids. ... this song is not from our generation. . Much before our time . Brings back so many memories though.
Forgive me Ladies but I almost had a heart attack, great performance but I'm stunned you were really driving while performing & recording. We would HATE to lose such beautiful talents due to driving "Russian Roulette Style". Just sign me: A Worried Grandpa..... ❤️
I was a kid when this song was released. Had the "45" and played it constantly. I named my little girl after this song. She passed away in 1985. I am brought to tears each time i hear the song on the radio. You did the song justice and also brought me to tears. Not sure how i even stumbled on this but glad i did. Thanks for the song.
Yes ladies you did it made me fall in love again with your voices and this classic song. I was there when it was first played on the radio. Love it so much that when the time came named my daughter Brandy. Great job you both are awesome. Thanks for the cover tunes and the originals.
I'm old enough to remember when this song came out and buying the 45 - that's a vinyl record bigger than a CD but much smaller than an LP, for you young folks. I never thought I would hear women do a decent cover of it, just because of the uniqueness of Elliot's voice, but I stand corrected. Well done and joyfully sung! Love the van touch too.
First of all, how cool is it that you've got a killer guitarist/backup singer in the back seat. That's great multi-tasking!! Second, I used to wake up to that song on my clock radio just about every day that summer. One of my all-time favourite AM radio hits. You gals rock!! Keep it up!!
I was 13 when this song came out. Toni & Reina were around -25. It was my FAVORITE song for a very long time. The sad thing was that Looking Glass had no follow-up and they ended up being one-hit wonders. I had a chance to see them in 1972. I believe they were playing in Atlantic City (or Ocean City), New Jersey that summer. I wanted to go badly. My father took me, but through some delay on his part, we didn't get there until after the show was over!! True story. #parents
I was singin all the way - except to check out Sis's guitar work. Great work from your Van - Morrison. God Bless your Mom - this one of my favorite tunes through 1972
Sweeeet Song! Nice singing while driving and lovely Guitar playing! Brandy a typical spanish liquor! Hope you come to Spain one day and sing this beautiful song! You girls are best i ve seen singing that song after the RHCP! Keep on driving and singing in that van Morrison!
Two absolutely beautiful girls singing! I love the drivers smile, you can tell they both really enjoyed making this video. The girl playing the guitar....damn it, she's better than I am! I could listen to these two all day.
You young ladies are awesome naturals! I love hearing you guys play and sing. I wish you would do Manic Monday by The Bangles. I think you'd do quite well with that one given your versatility and talents. Love ya ladies. Can't wait to hear more from you two!
You are great together. Need to raise up the volume on the alto just a hair on the verse. Enjoyed very much. Watch your distracted driving (says grandma). Lol💟
But my love my life and my Lady are the sea... if you exclude this part of the song it makes no sense As this tells the listener why she is alone Sorry But i love how you guys sang it just awesomeness Xo
I'm an old man (a clean one) of 72 with daughters and grand daughters, and you can't know much lovely enjoyment you bring to me by what you do with your music. I love your band....
I get the Beatles reference, there.
How true!! Honestly, the same sentiment is felt HERE!! Amazing 👏 Music and Performances AND binge-watching is allowed (how wonderful) 🎶🎸🎹👏👏👏
" I'm an old man...uh..(a clean one!) Lmao!!!
Holy wow, you must have a whole kingdom of your own with that many kids.
Speaking of van Morrison.. tupelo honey?
These young ladies are the real deal and as good as it gets. True professionals in every sense of the word.
Agreed!
Toni's smiles and expressions give me endless joy.
I love Tony's hat 😊
I was watching Elliot Lurie do a fairly recent a capella version of this song on RUclips. I commented how great he sounded and sent him a link to this and he replied that he loved the "live from the van version"! Thought that was cool and you should know about it 👍
So cool!
You are so lucky! I need a guitarist for my back seat like that.
Gary LeRoy leroygt don’t we all
that comment made me laugh. agreed. well played.
Wow! Thanks ladies! O was born in 1963, and I was a little boy, probably no more than 7 or 8 when "Brandy" climbed the charts back in the day.

It a good feeling to hear the young folks appreciate the old tunes.❤
Great job girls. Time goes by at a blink of an eye. Enjoy your life. I've always loved this song . Missing my young life.
Oh what a time I had................
You really don't understand.. This song is so precious to folks like me. I was a Vietnam veteran stationed on the USS Saratoga. We saw, loved and understood the Olangapo girls in the Philippines. I loved a girl here by the name of Christie. I still miss her to this day 44 years later. This song still means alot to me. Thanks for the memories.
Every time she sings its just enchanting its so soft yet powerful and its just amazing.
Love to see your Van Go! May you two roll on forever.Thank you.
Toni is a great guitarist
When Tony started playing that first riff I died and went to heaven, what a gem
This song always reminds me of AFROTC Field Training ... officer's basic training ... at Hamilton AFB, California, in 1972. I had a transistor radio and this song seemed to be playing all the time. Good memories. Thank you for singing this.
The van is named, “Van Morrison”. I’m in love. :D
thats funny
Indeed :'D
"Van Halen" would have been an adequately thoughtful choice I think...
I lol'd. I have to like it for that
My white van is called “Vanilla”.
Fantastic.
BETWEEN THE GREAT SINGING AND THE GREAT GUITAR PLAYING - MARVELOUS
LOVE to see you 2 sister's playing and LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST !!!
always love finding a new cover of Brandy. One of my favorite songs of all time.
This song has such nice memories for me. I’m that old
matthew dont say that,you are just more experienced.
harry w And old. Lol nothing wrong saying you're old. I'm older too. Seems like people get too sensitive and politically correct these days.
Matthew Hansen me too
Me too shipmate.
I remember back in 1972 commuting from Kitchener to Hamilton Ontario in my 1962 Rambler Classic Wagon singing this song at the top of my lungs. It’s wonderful to see and hear young people playing our music on RUclips. Reina, you certainly surround yourself with great collaborators!
What a great song. 🎉🎉. Singing in the car. What a trend you could start! Applause! 😊
Not only are your performances always high quality and heart-warming but you consistently introduce me to great music I haven't heard of. Love your choice of music!
I sang along the first time, and I too, sounded awesome! You girls rock!
Whenever I hear that song it brings me back to the summer of '72. Simpler times. Great job!
Hello Reina, You girls are so good at what ever song that you perform. I remember this one very well the first summer I came back home from Vietnam. I'll be 73 in a couple months, and I sure enjoy both of your talent.

I love this! Van Morrison !! LOL
Yet another quality Cover Reina & Toni !! ' Yeah your voice, could steal a Sailor ... from the Sea ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ '

Word! Reina wrote many very good words. Now see remembers the words to many fine songs. My word!
I played the 45 over and over! Looking Glass, 1970 something. I was a freshman in high school so 1972?
Nice van!👍😘
And then, watching the 1988 Summer Olympics, there was a 15-yo gymnast named Brandy Johnson (now Brandy Johnson-Scharpf). Watching her warm up, one of the male color commentators mentioned that she was named after the song, and the female commentator couldn't believe that the song was that old!
No: Six lolol yes I remember, I bet you sang this song to yourself many times like we all did...back in the day 😊
When I heard it in 1972 I was in the 8th grade
lol i feel so young. i love this song tho
Graduated high school in 72 and you couldn't turn on AM radio without this song or American Pie coming on that summer.
Beautiful. A great song but more important the beautiful voices and obvious talent passed down from one generation of talent to another. You girls compliment each other beautifully. What a great video. Your Mom has every reason to be proud and smile.
Hi ladies- great job🤘 This is a band that every time I hear this song I can’t believe they didn’t have another hit or 10! Such a good story too!🙂❤️⭐️⭐️💋💋☀️🔥🕊🦋.
Wow. Just wonderful! (2) beautiful young ladies who show a lot of class while they do their thing! One of my all time favorite songs, and you guys rocked it out! Awesome van song! Congrats on being very talented, and very lovely.
MERCY!! No two-people-and-one-acoustic-guitar driving along in a van could EVER put out a vibe like this. You never cease to amaze me. LOVE IT!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this...brings back such wonderful memories. Your dedication/back-story is awesome. :)

My sweet BFF and I used to sing this on our way to school in 1972...nice memory
If you are a great singer you don't need a fancy studio to sound awesome...I love your songs. Keep up the great work..
Great choice of songs. It's still one of favorites after 45 plus years
Love it! Childhood favorite song!
My father went to college with guy who wrote this song. Such good memories! Thank you both
One of my favorite songs and you both knocked it out of the park. Love the guitar finger picking and strumming patterns as well. Simply excellent
check out this perfect cover of this song here. ruclips.net/video/zJAsOGizkfU/видео.html
One of my all time favorite songs, named my first daughter after this song, (35 yrs ago) good job, girls.
As an old Sailor I have always love the song. You did a great job with it..
Very sweet tribute....That song came out when I was in the 10th grade......all the girls loved it !!.....was a big sing along number back then.......your rendition reminds me of that......truly, another place and another time.
Such joy.. You gals are just a joy
I love you gals! Twenty five years ago I was playing tunes that you now play and I love hearing you.
Thank you for the memories! And now with a new Martin D-28.
Your voice is awesome. Tony is fantastic also.Reminds me of Jim Croce ‘s super talented accompanist Maury Mueshleisen.
When this song came out I was a sailor, (US Navy). I like to tell people it was back closer to the days of wooden ships and iron men. Lol. I was more of a drunk than a ladies man, but I liked the song just as well. You did a nice job of it, and thanks for the memories.
I'm becoming a huge fan of these folks!
Thank you girls for making my day. Beautiful voices and the song was done very well.
you girls are gonna be so freaking huge someday!!!! I absolutely love you both, you are amazing
My sister and I have been signing this song together since we were little kids. ... this song is not from our generation. . Much before our time . Brings back so many memories though.
Forgive me Ladies but I almost had a heart attack, great performance but I'm stunned you were really driving while performing & recording. We would HATE to lose such beautiful talents due to driving "Russian Roulette Style". Just sign me: A Worried Grandpa..... ❤️
I agree, it would be a shame to get a scratch on that van
I was a kid when this song was released. Had the "45" and played it constantly. I named my little girl after this song. She passed away in 1985. I am brought to tears each time i hear the song on the radio. You did the song justice and also brought me to tears. Not sure how i even stumbled on this but glad i did. Thanks for the song.
Sorry about losing your daughter, rustybodine.
@@francinetaylor6119 thank you.
Holy crap you did awesome that was great
Yes ladies you did it made me fall in love again with your voices and this classic song. I was there when it was first played on the radio. Love it so much that when the time came named my daughter Brandy. Great job you both are awesome. Thanks for the cover tunes and the originals.
You guys have so much soul you almost make me cry... keep belting out those tunes!
One of my favorite songs from the 70's!!
WOW :-) Well done Ladies. Great Video. Great Voice and again Toni´s ecellent Guitar playing :-) Thumbs Up and Greetings from Germany
An oldie but a goodie !!! Wonderful job indeed ! Thank you !
Excellent live cover!!
I'm old enough to remember when this song came out and buying the 45 - that's a vinyl record bigger than a CD but much smaller than an LP, for you young folks. I never thought I would hear women do a decent cover of it, just because of the uniqueness of Elliot's voice, but I stand corrected. Well done and joyfully sung! Love the van touch too.
One of my all time favourites and this is the best cover I've heard. I love what you've done with it. Brilliant, ladies :)
wicked version wish I could meet these two
First of all, how cool is it that you've got a killer guitarist/backup singer in the back seat. That's great multi-tasking!! Second, I used to wake up to that song on my clock radio just about every day that summer. One of my all-time favourite AM radio hits. You gals rock!! Keep it up!!
Just wondering if the van came with the guitarist. How much is that option
I was 13 when this song came out. Toni & Reina were around -25. It was my FAVORITE song for a very long time. The sad thing was that Looking Glass had no follow-up and they ended up being one-hit wonders. I had a chance to see them in 1972.

That was fun! Loved the rendition of an old favorite! And yes, I was a sailor who relates to every word.
One of my FAVOURITE SONGS and a GREAT RENDITION! Thanks for the ride along! Cheers from Burnaby BC Canada.
Wow, pure natural vocal music at its best. I like the guitar players voice too... Nice solos
are you stupid?
@@kennypowers8654 Are you an asshole? No need to answer.
Super cool!!
Well done! But how could you not play Brown Eyed Girl for your 1st song in Van Morrison?
Jeff, Grest idea! I feel a sequel coming!
Rachelle is a "Brown Eyed Girl". :)
TOO ON THE NOSE 😛
I LOVE the name of your van
Awesome girls. So adorable. :-)
I was singin all the way - except to check out Sis's guitar work. Great work from your Van - Morrison. God Bless your Mom - this one of my favorite tunes through 1972
Great cover! Not many have done this song, I love it.
you have no idea how happy you make me, thank you for transmitting so much joy and love
That was truly beautiful!
Of course, "Baker Street" will be your real test.
You guys are a breath of fresh air, music and fun! Brilliant.
Excellent! Your pitch is dead on and excellent guitar work!
I was looking for the original version ,I don't know why I clicked on you, but I'm sure glad I did.
Grew up listening to the original. This is by far the best cover I have heard. Nice job.
Check out this perfect cover version by the"Big haed Todd band" ruclips.net/video/zJAsOGizkfU/видео.html
Sweeeet Song! Nice singing while driving and lovely Guitar playing! Brandy a typical spanish liquor! Hope you come to Spain one day and sing this beautiful song!
You girls are best i ve seen singing that song after the RHCP! Keep on driving and singing in that van Morrison!
First heard the track on a crappy compilation album years and years go. This is a lovely rendition so well done girls.
Two absolutely beautiful girls singing! I love the drivers smile, you can tell they both really enjoyed making this video. The girl playing the guitar....damn it, she's better than I am! I could listen to these two all day.
You young ladies are awesome naturals! I love hearing you guys play and sing. I wish you would do Manic Monday by The Bangles. I think you'd do quite well with that one given your versatility and talents. Love ya ladies. Can't wait to hear more from you two!
Two coolest girls on the Internet. Keep up the great music!

Nice job and pick of a song, was havein a horable day, y'alls video put a smile on my face, thanks girls 😊😘
I think the smiles make the song...
they wernt born when this came out....best memory ftom StPete Fla
So nice to hear someone of this age paying such time homage to ANYTHING from the Boomer era. Thanks and God bless you!
You are great together. Need to raise up the volume on the alto just a hair on the verse. Enjoyed very much. Watch your distracted driving (says grandma). Lol💟
In my opinion, this is the best version of this song ever.
But my love my life and my Lady are the sea... if you exclude this part of the song it makes no sense
As this tells the listener why she is alone
Sorry
But i love how you guys sang it
just awesomeness
Xo
yes your so right,i thought am i the only one hearing the last verse?still love the girls alot.
Yeah, she forgot that the chorus changes after the first verse. But, as you said, still entertaining.
Like her voice and I loved the cover but when she flubbed the chorus change it brought me to a dead stop. :)
"But my life my love and my lady is the sea"
I love her voice, btw
i wonder if it was just a mistake?
Vantastic!
