She&#8217;s in love with him, thus the sad theme of the song.<\/p>\n<p>Brandy was by a band called Looking Glass. Brandy went to #1 in 1972. They had one other hit (Jimmy Loves Mary-Anne) that went to #33 in &#8217;73. Some of the members went on to form Starz, whom I saw in the Kingdome, opening up for Aerosmith. Jeff Beck and Jan Hammer were also on the bill.
