Looking Glass lead singer Elliot Lurie wrote "Brandy" about his high school girlfriend, as he explained in a 2016 interview with The Tennessean...but her name wasn't actually Brandy.
"Usually when I write — I still do it the same way I did back then — I strum some guitar and kind of sing along with the first things that come to mind," Lurie continued. "Her name came up. Then I started writing the rest of the song, and it was about a barmaid. I I thought Randy was an unusual name for a girl, it could go either way, and (the song was about) a barmaid, so I changed it to Brandy.”
'Brandy' made a huge comeback over 40 years after it was released
Unfortunately for Looking Glass, "Brandy" was their first and last major hit; though they had some success the next year with "Jimmy Loves Mary-Anne," Lurie soon left the group to start a solo career. That wasn't the end of the story for "Brandy," though, which went on to be featured very prominently in the blockbuster 2017 Marvel movie Guardians of the Galaxy 2.
“When he explained how he planned to use it, I was thrilled,” Lurie said. “I loved the first movie so much — I was actually a little disappointed about 'Brandy' not being on that soundtrack.”
“Far from it,” he said. “I would say that is probably ‘Desperado’ by the Eagles!”
