The band Looking Glass, part of the "Jersey Shore" sound, is best known for "Brandy (You’re A Fine Girl)," which reached #1 in the US and Canada in 1972. Their next single "Jimmy Loves Mary Anne," didn’t do quite as well, only reaching #33 in the US and #21 in Canada, but for some reason it did quite well in Chicago, where it reached #1 for a week in October 1973 and where it was #72 on their year-end "Big 89" survey. I have no explanation for why, other than it was a great song.

Thanks! I like it better than “Brandy,” even.

I liked “Brandy” but it was played so much that it still hurts my ears.

I like this John, I have not heard it before but I do remember Brandy that was good too. 💜

They were a good band, and Elliot Lurie, their guitarist and lead singer, shows up at a lot of “yacht rock” concerts. They got lost in the shuffle because there were so many good bands in the early ’70’s doing that kind of music.

This is the first in a while that I don’t know at all but it sounds relevant to that era like The Eagles etc..

It definitely has that early ’70’s vibe going.
