Elliot Lurie's song has seen a major resurgence thanks to its use in one of the Marvel sequel's most crucial scenes.
Elliot Lurie could not be more pleased with the way his classic 1972 hit "Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)" was used in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.
For decades, people have asked the former Looking Glass lead guitarist and vocalist what the deeper meaning behind the song was, assuming the longing barmaid Brandy was a metaphor. Well, there wasn't a deeper meaning. At least not at first.
In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Lurie, who also worked as film music executive at 20th Century Fox, opened up about writing the chart-topping tune, how it came to be in the Marvel film, and director James Gunn's perfect use of the song in one of the film's most crucial scenes.
