  • Can this be purchased on itunes?

  • this a a awsome song love it!

    

  • i was name after this song

  • You need to edit the title of your youtube to "you're" instead of "your".

  • Kudos to Kenny. I didn't think this would be as good as it is.

  • very good...

  • Suprisingly a really good cover

  • i love how my name just happens to be brandy.... :D

  • @chevyonly1 you were conceived to this song. thats why

    

  • I like it he does it justice

  • very good remake, though i think the red hot chili peppers version is a little better.

    but the original is still tops!!!

    good to see that all genres are keeping the beautiful song alive and sharing it with a new generation.

  • I agree with monsterzman -- the 1972 Looking Glass version will always be the best...but this IS damn good. Great job, Kenny Chesney & co., and thanks so much 32lmb for posting this! :-) P.S.: Listen real closely -- on headphones if possible -- to the '72 LG version: the keyboards kind of sound like the notes are being projected through glass tubes or something. Really nice, surreal background effect. Peace. :-)

  • nicely done

    

  • sine i was just a baby and i still remember every word u do it well ...keep it alive! Tammy

  • This song just reminds me of the best woman I ever knew, and how bad I screwed it up with her......

  • Im glad Kenny did a good job with this song and didnt screw it up like a lot of remakes. As far as it being better than the orginal sorry but Looking Glass rules. I really dont think anyone could have done a better job than Kenny. I use to not be a fan of Kennys but since he's kinda of doing the Jimmy Buffet - ish thing I like him not that Im a Buffet fan though. Kinda weird, huh. Anyway good job.

  • This cover is far better than the original. Same thing with Tim McGraw's cover of "Tiny Dancer." Simply better vocals.

  • @jsgrimes84 NO FUCKING WAY

  • @doejeff I agree with you -NO FUCKING WAY !

  • Good job. (Not a country fan)

  • hahahah im brandy lol

  • If this was the Chili Peppers this would be great too bad it's a redneck.

  • It's a good song-regardless who sings it !!

  • never heard this by Kenny.Brings back lots of good memories of the sailor in my life...that's all I'm gonna say. :) Thanks for posting.

  • Such a great voice. Smooth and soft but then he drops the bottom on you and shows he has power too.

  • @SKIDROWFAN1985 he's only a redneck if one is looking at him, so don't peek.

  • rhcp version's better

  • WOW and i don t like country nice cover

  • one of the best covers ever!

  • I'm surprised Kenny would be interested in this song but I think he did a great job on it. And I was in my early twenties when this song first hit the airwaves so I was there with it as a young man and loved it then.

    I disagree with the nay sayers, Kenny did a great job.

  • @SKIDROWFAN1985 well thats our opinion and im going to respect it but im going to kindly disagree

  • @SKIDROWFAN1985 dude he is far from a hillbiily or redneck he is more like jimmy buffet most of his songs are about the summer or the beach basically island music

  • @scidamenge...this sounds NOTHING like the original...in fact it is worse than the RHCP version of this song...some songs just need to not be covered because the person covering it only screws it up.

  • this sounds alot like the original.

  • I actually thought this was going to suck but I am pleasantly surprised!!

  • I hope Kenny Chesney is grateful for all the artists who helped him reach the place he is in. But for the Grace of God,,there Go I....

  • Love it!

  • Steal another one kenny, first jimmy buffet would like his career back, now looking glass too!

  • pretty good plus I like Kenny - really good actually

  • great cover Kenny!

  • Dam good job !! Most impressive Kenny..

  • GREAT cover!

  • Not a big country music fan. I was suprised just what a great cover this was. Hat's off to you Kenny.

  • any cd's with track on it out there ?

  • DAmn! Kenny is one of my favs and I love when he does covers of some classic songs. Check out his "one step up" cover of Bruce Springsteen and also "please come to Boston." Great voice!

  • I'm not a Kenny fan, I have to be honest. However, Credit where Credit is due, this is a good cover. Well done.

  • Outstanding Cover, Thanks for the memories, where ya preform...

  • notice how he sings "sailors"  fag

  • @fasteddie925 He sings that because that's how the lyrics go. (You're probably just going to cuss me out but I'm going to say this anyway) - you shouldn't go around calling people the 'F' word, because lots of people get offended. I'm offended, and your tasteless insults just make you sound illiterate.

  • OMG! I was named after this song!!!! I want it!

  • damn good cover

  • i am a fan of covers gave ths a shot sorry it fell short in my opinion this whole "gulf and western" thing is just crap

  • I love this song!!!! Wish I could buy this song!!

  • me too :(

  • he actually did this song proud !!!

  • Pretty good cover I didn't expect!

  • a little steely d at start would be an understatement at best - dosn't take much away as this is a fine cover

  • I love this song! I have heard it sang by the original singer as well and he did an awesome job on it!!! Love the pics of Kenny Chesney also!!! Big thumbs up!

  • This is a GREAT cover of this song...I love Kenny and his music anyway, but he has a way of doing the songs he's covered, they all sound really good to me, I'd love for him to release an album of all the songs he's covered and maybe throw in a few new ones!! That would be so cool!!

  • I will that Mr. Chesney does a decent job with this song, but nothing can compare to the original.

  • Love this song<3 (:

  • kenny and i went to GHS together back in the 90's - we're real good friends until he went to ETSU and i went to UT - we still talk twice a year and reminisce about singing this song when we'd camp out after football games on Friday nights!

  • Like it!

  • I like both Kenny Chesney's version and the Looking Glass' version.

    They're just different I don't think either of them is better

  • A better produced record than the original version by Looking Glass!

  • @Stepale wtf......not a bad version,but the red hot chili peppers version than kenny's

  • My daughter is Brandy! Kenny Chesney improved an already great song!!!

  • Chesney is amazing with the remake but the original has a passion that cant be matched...

  • he does ana amzing job at this song <3 i love kenny<33

  • Kennys is wayy better than the originall!!

  • Looking Glass did it better but this was very good. I like the riffs toward the end. Well done Mr Chesney.

  • @1959johnnyr kennys is better...NBD

  • 8 people missed the like button.

  • Kenny did a great job on this cover.....

  • Awesome

  • I think Kenny did an ok job but Looking Glass will always be the owners of this song

  • Horrible.

  • @asclarice Hands down, the best comment on the page...

  • @adamk1775 Glad someone agrees with me!

  • very well done . kenny gives it the earthy passionate feel .

  • boooooooooo, leave this song alone

  • What the Hell is a "SPECAIL"? Unlike most covers, this one is actually quite good. As a fan of the LOOKING GLASS original, I canhonestly say I like this version.

  • Best Asian women dating site **busizz4me.info**

  • chesney does it good but nothing can ever touch the original

  • great song

  • way to go Kenny! love this song

  • loved this,, sounds so wonderful.. like it as great as the original... thanks for sharing!

  • I was name after this song

  • pictures and song .....great.

  • Pure talent. I'm not into country music. Wanted to post the old version of "Brandy" by Looking Glass but have to admit that Kenny Chesney's version rocks!. Thats the one I'm posting.

  • amazing! <3 i love u kenny :)

  • doesn't do the song justice. Will check out chili peppers

  • @babydol012 agreed!!! big time~!!!!

  • Props to Kenny for doing a cover of this great song.

  • I'm a sailor, and this song is just no good. Never was very good, and Kenny Chesney, of course, makes it worse. I am at a loss as to why he is labelled "Country".... I can't think of a single song he has done that falls in the genre. Cowboy hats, CMT exposure, and Clear Channel airtime does not a country & western singer make. Hank Williams would have kicked his ass for parading this hickpop as country.

  • <3 youuu Kennyyy.(:

  • Search for the Red Hot Chili Peppers version of this. So good!

  • @chambzhill way better than this right? haha RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS!

  • AHHH KENNY! (: I LOVEEE YOUUUUUUU SOO MUCH! :)

    And omgggoshh this is SOOO the BESTTT version of this song OF COURSE because its by YOU.<3 Gahhh i loveee youuu.(: Hahahahah! Youre more than amazing. Youre my inspiration.(:

    -chelsea from Bamaaa!

  • what a bunch of crap!!!! looking glass version is ten times better than this garbage.

  • @woodsjpa1 I agree !!!!!

  • Wow! Nice remake of Elliot's song!

  • Kenney is a whole lot better than I ever thought. Thank you for posting.

  • god kenny you have just brought one of my favorite songs of my into country awesome man you can sing anything

  • leave these classics alone!!! if you cant make it better..dont touch! I miss Kenny the country singer, not the pop artist. Thanks for keeping it real George

  • @Beerman6pew I'm sure we'll get booed out of here, but I agree w/ you.  This sounds like karaoke. He could have made it into a great country ballad, but the arrangement sounds almost identical to the original, so why bother?

  • very nicely done, love the pictoarial you put together!

  • it prove that the old songs from the old songs from the 60's and 70's can be revived and be redone by the current artist's and still sound great job kenny.

  • I love this version!!! But Kenny can do no wrong!

  • This is a lovely cover. It sounds really good, but I still prefer the original(Looking Glass).

  • Nice cover. Not quite as excellent as the Red Hot Chili Peppers version, but I applaud his ability to avoid country schmaltz. Well done, I say.

  • This song is my namesake. This is a great cover. I'm diggin' his voice here. Not real twangy.

  • this remake is awesome!

  • nice remake

  • Pretty good cover.

  • GOOD cover! not many artists would even think to cover this classic:)

  • @vlunney Lots of people have covered this song its a really good song. One of my favorites are the version by the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

  • I have never heard his version, it is cute but I still love looking glass

  • Love it!!

  • was that Steely Dan's "Do It Again" at the beginning??

  • Decent job... but not as good as the original.

  • I am not the biggest country fan, but he did a nice cover of this song. The harmonies are really tight, I could do with less auto-tune, but that is the industry standard these days, so i guess much can't be done about it...

  • u make the best videos ever !!!!!

  • kennys version is better because it just fits him better

  • This is a great cover!

    The original by Looking Glass is better,

    but Kenny Chesney did a good job.

    I LIKE IT!

  • AWESOME SONG!

  • awhh yeah ! i love this song :)

  • good god your a fucking idiot. shut the fuck up and lesten to the fucking song.

  • dirtydance

    Give me a break!!!!! What does Barack Obama have to do with this song or Kenny Chesney?????

  • where can i get this song?

  • i love this song!!!! Especially wen kenny sings it. i like his version better, which is sad i kno. srry looking glass.

  • done a good job Kenny,you didnt bastardise it like so many covers ive heard,youve kept the tenure of the original,well done!!

  • okay i so wish kenny chesney didnt ruin dis song, i mean i love his music but i rather looking glass sing it

  • at this part of the song 2:17 he is talking to brother van from the big 96.3 kscs dallas fort worth texas

  • He does a good job. I don't even like country music. Looking Glass does have this song all wrapped up!

  • What do you expect from kenny chesney? anything about boats, the sea, or drinks he's gonna write it or sing it. He still done a good job with it though.

  • I do NOT like this version.... Looking Glass has had this song all wrapped up since 1972. I can't believe ANYBODY has the balls to re-record it! Still, I love Kenny C.

  • perez688 <....wtf? I had posted " thanks to the looking glass all us kids are named after Brandy", meaning because that band made the original hit song, never once busted on the band Looking Glass. Re-read, before you post someone "doesnt know sh*t". Are you retarded or something?

  • Great to hear Chesney do this. He sings pretty deep song. This one has been underated but deep as hell.

  • Kenny Did a Great Job !!!!

    Rock on Kenny !

  • How can I get this song on my ipod?

  • i like all the versions of this song especially this one

  • i don't like this version... it's boooring and don't "shine" like for example T. Beaudreau's version...

    i think that voice is steril and too soft...

    I'm sorry 3/5

  • not bad sir

  • Great!!! What can you say.

  • My favorite song ever! Kenny did a fine fine job here!

  • This is one of my favorite songs ever,,,,Kenny does a respectable job but the gold standard is Looking Glass!

  • hell yeah. fucking a dude.. BRANDY

  • This is just sad.

    You are right, the chilli's did it 10 times better.

    And Looking Glass are the standard by which they are all measured and come up short...

  • Brandy PA you dont know shit. Even though there may be millions of Brandy's...there was only one Looking glass...the fans know what I mean

  • red hot chili peppers did it better

  • I remember the original pop version of this song by Looking Glass as it came out in 1972, the year my wife and I were married. It sounds every bit as good as a country song as the original pop version did and really brings back memories from days gone by.

  • @Edwin572 go watch the RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS VERSION!!

  • His version was alright. Very boring compared to the original.

  • Yeah, because of the original version of this by "The Looking Glass" there is now millions of Brandys..lol

  • true im one too

  • i'm sure i'm one of them, just like you.

    lol

  • my dad was in the navy for 24 years and he swears hes met 1000 brandys. Such a great song.

  • I LOVE THIS SONGG!! && Kenny :)) He Is SOO Sexii You Did An AMAZING Job On This Song!!

  • Love this song. What CD is it on?

  • It was on Road and the Radio

  • it was?

  • @32lmb It isn't on "Road and the Radio" on iTunes. :(

  • @momoftriplets0406 Love when Kenny does songs that he didn't make popular,,Keep up the good work..love you, LOTS..:::::::::::)

  • i looooovee this song ! <3

  • love this song !!

  • Wow. Great original song, but amazing cover! :)
