one-hit wonders after this pop classic hit #1, New Jersey’s Looking Glass in
fact put out the equally fine (although less-successful) single “Jimmy Loves Mary-Anne” the following summer. I was seriously tempted to put that one on my
list rather than “Brandy”, but finally decided that being willfully obscure
wasn’t always the best policy.
A long, long
time ago, before the Internet, I remember my college roomie sending me a
lengthy newspaper profile of the band, who felt that they were unfairly
pigeonholed as a “pop” act based on their hit, which really didn’t represent
their sound. I couldn’t locate that article, but did find a nice tribute site
on the web that provides an interesting look at the band.
