Your uncle's voice, and song, were a huge part of my youth. Without going into detail, I listened, sang, and played that Looking Glass jam from when it came out in high school until I left my radio career in the late 90's. Thank him for me.
This is a really fine group of musicians; they're perfect without appearing to make an effort. And Josh on the bongos looks so very happy. What a pleasure.
If you've never recorded a song with a group of musicians, you may not realize how absolutely astonishing this is. One continuous take, a handful of mics, recording outside, and you sound THAT good? It's just incredible. Well done!
WOW! I suddenly find myself poolside in the 1970s sipping an ice cold coke, hanging with dear friends, grooving to this song. Thank you so much for transporting me to a happy memory so eloquently🙏
This song takes me back to the summer of 72, cleaning horse tack in a barn on a rainy Saturday morning. Funny how music can take us back into time. Great cover! You guys sound great together. Thanks Josh
That was so much fun! Awesome players like these folks adding tasty licks, the vocals were so sweet (I swear you can hear the smiling)...the whole is more than the sum of the parts. Made my day so much better. Thank you!
Around 1996, one of the band members of Looking Glass was a member of The Little River Band. LRB played a concert at a tiny beach-bar on the northern shore of Clear Lake ( near the tiny community of Del Lago - Texas, USA... near Houston ). My girlfriend and I were one of about 10 people in the audience of the outdoor performance. We danced to this song. I always thought there was something special about that song. This rendition is at least as good as the original.
Josh Turner... what a talent. As are all the other musicians that play with him, including the amazing Carson McKee. Thanks everyone for sharing your talent. It is music to us, your audience's ears!.
I can't explain it. I have watched so many of Josh Turner's covers of songs that always seemed so old and tired to me, and he just brings them to life. It is just a delight to hear them, and to watch his band play.
One of the first 45's I bought with my $1/week allowance. Your Uncle's voice is a special part of my childhood memories. The skater's couldn't complain about that performance.
Bongos, bongos, bongos! I went to California first time when I was 18 in 1978. Left Canadian winter behind for a week. Been back every so often to visit friends. Got property in Joshua Tree. California gets under your skin. Loved the cover of Brandy and the beach clip. Keep it up, it’s great.
Whomever mixed this, BRAVO! Absolutely perfect. And spotless musicianship, and stellar presence and vocals from Josh, as always. This was excellent. Thank you!
You and your friends never fail to amaze me. The authenticity of you sound is always spot on! I don't know if you'll ever get rich, doing what you do but you will always be loved by your fans. If you ever do a cover of Please Come To Boston, You'll make a 65 year old man cry.
You guys are the most talented young people I’ve ever heard. Josh you remind me of Buddy Holly, so much talent.God Bless all of you, keep on rocking… music will last forever!
Thank you for performing this song, sans digital music. I love this song for years, graduated high school with this song on Kasey Kasem’s show. Those were the days. Immense appreciation.
my mind boggles - i listen to so much music and no matter where how deep I go in Roon with all my favourite bands I always end up listening to something by you Josh and god damn I don't understand how you and your buds perform at such a high level and record at an even higher relative level to EVERYONE - this version of Brandy was insane - bravo bravo
Wow, this is great! One of my long time favorite songs, too! I know you don't take requests, but I would love to see what you and the BotBB could do with Sugerloaf's "Green Eyed Lady"! You can always tell a good take by Josh's grin!
Another favourite for me This song was so in your wheel house Love it that you and the boys were able to get together again. Sloop John buy is still one of my favourites
I was a child when this song came on the radio. My friends mom had a van with crushed velvet and glass beads and got a mile to the gallon. We would sing this song with its catchy tune.
I'm from LA and on Spring break, but staying up at school and seeing you guys drive through where I grew up is pretty comforting. Thanks for covering such a great song. Lots of love
Thank you for covering "Brandy"! My Uncle is Elliott Lurie, the singer and writer of the song!
Your uncle wrote a classic.
Great song!
One of the best!
Your uncle's voice, and song, were a huge part of my youth. Without going into detail, I listened, sang, and played that Looking Glass jam from when it came out in high school until I left my radio career in the late 90's. Thank him for me.
Wow, your uncle helped create the Guardians of the Galaxy 2 soundtrack. You should be proud! 🤣
Given the handheld single camera - shooting a whole band and not just Josh or a sitting duo - Kelly does a fine job here.
Kelly, you’re a fine girl.😇
And not tripping up those stairs while trying to film! 👍👍
This is a really fine group of musicians; they're perfect without appearing to make an effort. And Josh on the bongos looks so very happy. What a pleasure.
Though I always love to hear him on guitar!!!
@@petertrout8140 Right! Incredible talent right here.
Have you ever seen a smaller drum kit used in a performance? And that fellow has everything he needs. Bravo.
It's impossible to watch Marc on bass without just smiling your ass off -- he's loving it, every beat, every bar, the whole thing. Go Marc!
Go watch their 2019 cover of Buffalo Springfield’s, For What It’s Worth.
I wish everyone enjoyed their self that much.
Yeah Marc is just killin' it on the bass ❤
If you've never recorded a song with a group of musicians, you may not realize how absolutely astonishing this is. One continuous take, a handful of mics, recording outside, and you sound THAT good? It's just incredible. Well done!
I'm 55, this song was released when I was 4 and has stuck with me my entire life. I still have the 45! Love this ❤
The Bus Band is always a treat to hear!!
The “other” Other Favorite
Yeah I love these guys
absolutely amazing! what a sound!
Bass player really steals the show in this one. Completely drives the song and amazing groove timing bang on
He's really tight!
I think it’s amazing that these young people appreciate 60’s and 70’s music. Made long before they were born. Fantastic performance.
WOW! I suddenly find myself poolside in the 1970s sipping an ice cold coke, hanging with dear friends, grooving to this song. Thank you so much for transporting me to a happy memory so eloquently🙏
Such a fantastically controlled performance from the drummer, playing a groove that solid at a volume that low is not an easy thing.
Oh how I wish I could go back to my 70’s when life was simple and the music exploding!
this is one the best series on youtube at the moment.... the music is perfect, the vibe is right on point and the cinematography is amazing.
Josh never misses. Everyone he collaborates with is of gigantic talent. Wow what a cover. Great camerawork from Kelly too.
This young man named Joshua Turner is as polished a musician, singer and song writer that I have seen. He's a professional in every sense of the word.
keyboard [player ....NAILED IT!! actually you all did!
Magical. Everyone looks like they’re radiating joy
1972 was a great year for music! Thanks!
Rally amazing, I also do music with not this much Subscribers, if you have some free time ,check it out
This song takes me back to the summer of 72, cleaning horse tack in a barn on a rainy Saturday morning. Funny how music can take us back into time. Great cover! You guys sound great together. Thanks Josh
I was in jump school at Fort Benning.
@@markolson9333 I was finishing boot camp at San Diego and getting ready to go to Infantry Training School.
From 1972, it was the happiest year of my youth. Named my first child, born in 1981 after this song. Always knew that I would.
Josh & friends are adding joy to the world one song at a time makes my heart smile.
I've sat in the Pavilion so many times watching bands. I wish I had been there to see you guys in person. I hope you enjoyed your day there.
my favorite bassist! he makes me smile
One of my favorite songs for 40+ years! I love the way Josh sings, "...gifts..." @ 1:58!!
That was so much fun!
Awesome players like these folks adding tasty licks, the vocals were so sweet (I swear you can hear the smiling)...the whole is more than the sum of the parts.
Made my day so much better.
Thank you!
Hey you borrowed a line from Tim purcell of foxes and fossils fame! Lol. Awesome job Josh and the bus band!

I was 9 years old in 1972. We were singing this and whistling it all day long.
Great to see Marc still has that contagious smile the entire time he's playing
Josh Turner... what a talent. As are all the other musicians that play with him, including the amazing Carson McKee. Thanks everyone for sharing your talent. It is music to us, your audience's ears!.
Haha love the way Josh says "gifts" at 1:57. So sassy!
Josh smiling throughout the song just like Elliot! Priceless!
I can't explain it. I have watched so many of Josh Turner's covers of songs that always seemed so old and tired to me, and he just brings them to life. It is just a delight to hear them, and to watch his band play.
Rent two horns, Josh! You're worth it. You're worth it.
OMG...I haven't heard Brandy in years...decades.
Great cover, sent shivers down my back, so very close to the original.
Thank you so much.
Can’t wait to the next episode with Reina and Toni👍
I just realized that 3/4 of my "good vibes" playlist are songs from Josh's channel. This gem's joining the team. Great job guys!
lmao i had the same thing. Its now the best of josh reina toni and carson playlist
nice pfp
@@direwolf7080 exactly!
SO awesome seeing a new generation of great musicians keeping great music alive! well done!!
Excellent performance. I’m old enough to remember when this was a top hit. Always enjoy performances as close to the original.
The smile on Josh's face during the filming suits him. So glad you are able to be back on the road making music with your friends.
Josh Turner is my #vocalgoals.
I remember when Josh was a kid, he was an amazing guitar player and now he's still a great guitar player and a great singer.
One of the first 45's I bought with my $1/week allowance. Your Uncle's voice is a special part of my childhood memories. The skater's couldn't complain about that performance.
Great to have you in So Cal with us! Wonderful recording of Brandy in Balboa Park, San Diego.
Bongos, bongos, bongos! I went to California first time when I was 18 in 1978. Left Canadian winter behind for a week. Been back every so often to visit friends. Got property in Joshua Tree. California gets under your skin. Loved the cover of Brandy and the beach clip. Keep it up, it’s great.

Earth's greatest musical composition! What a treat.
You and your friends never fail to amaze me. The authenticity of you sound is always spot on! I don't know if you'll ever get rich, doing what you do but you will always be loved by your fans. If you ever do a cover of Please Come To Boston, You'll make a 65 year old man cry.
Brings back 1972 in living color. I was a young Army Brat living in West Germany
Josh Turner i have been following you since your
Little Wing on mando days !
Thanks for making the world a little brighter & better.
Wow kelly's videography realy brings a lot to the story of among friends.
Kudos to the woman who did the video of "Brandy". The music was perfect as was the camera work...smoooooooooth!
Hey Josh and the gang thanks for keeping us old people's music alive you're really do it justice keep up the good work
Always feel like you're having fun and that's what music should BE!! :)
*deep voice* "Gifts"
What a way to start the morning.
Awesome Fellows one of my favorite songs to do.. my transition for high school to college was doing the release of this song May 1972 🥲 LB August 2022
1:39 this shot is just pure vibes
Can we just take a minute to appreciate how much Bob gets it!
A beautiful cover of one of my favorite songs. Put a smile on my face!
Excellent, laid back people making it looking easy doing real fine art while having fun.
Amazing cover
Nice rendition of this classic. The song was huge when it was out and seemed like it played on the radio every 15 minutes.
Excellent rendition! Accurate arrangement and execution. Casual but melodic and harmonic singing 😊
Brilliant! Hope you sort out the tan line soon Josh!
Currently compiling a list Joss best covers.. at this
moment this is number one
You guys are the most talented young people I’ve ever heard. Josh you remind me of Buddy Holly, so much talent.God Bless all of you, keep on rocking… music will last forever!
I love the music, but I think I love the human moments even more. I'm here for all of it. Please do more of it.
You found that classic sound! Good job boys!
Bravo, Sir! I seriously stood up and clapped. In my den, by myself. I couldn't help it.
Love this! And love the band, Marc always looks so happy when he is playing, he's like a golden retriever of a human! (and a killer bass player too)!
So glad you guys have met up again after so long. You are all such superb musicians!
Great job guys. That bass man was working it!
Hollywood Forever cemetery, and so many other ones in the L.A. area, is fantastic. A lot of famous show business people buried there.
When songs were really short stories.....GOOD JOB.. we marched to this in Band and BTW the Drummer for 'Looking Glass' is a DJ in Cary NC
wow josh and team are soo good
Thank you for performing this song, sans digital music. I love this song for years, graduated high school with this song on Kasey Kasem’s show. Those were the days. Immense appreciation.
Every now and then I revisit this series and hope so bad you go on another road trip. Incredible range of talent and joy on display.
I’m OBSESSED with this
one of the greatest songs ever .....
On a mild high and really loving this!!
This song was a great one-hit wonder - as Looking Glass had the number one record for just one week! Great rendition and choice, guys!
my mind boggles - i listen to so much music and no matter where how deep I go in Roon with all my favourite bands I always end up listening to something by you Josh and god damn I don't understand how you and your buds perform at such a high level and record at an even higher relative level to EVERYONE - this version of Brandy was insane - bravo bravo
Stellar! So laid back performance, fantastic song, fantastic musicianship, fantastic band, fantastic singing!!!
Wow, this is great! One of my long time favorite songs, too! I know you don't take requests, but I would love to see what you and the BotBB could do with Sugerloaf's "Green Eyed Lady"!
You can always tell a good take by Josh's grin!
"Bringing giftssss" 🎵lol. Must have watched this 50+ times in the past month 🧡
I see that you're starting to sail the smooth waters of yacht rock music. I approve greatly!
One of the greatest one hit wonders of the ‘70s, along with “Green-Eyed Lady,” mentioned by another poster. Beautifully executed.
These are simply lovely video vignettes
Excellent musicians, Josh has a smooth voice. Nice cover. I do Love Elliot Lurie's deep voice in the original!
This serie is so so so lovely! That's such a great idea, I'm loving it! Thank you Josh!
Another favourite for me
This song was so in your wheel house
Love it that you and the boys were able to get together again. Sloop John buy is still one of my favourites
Don’t forget about baby driver!!
So sweet how you find such interesting acoustics in everyday life
Insane work ! Great production and amazing story, gives a good retro vibe, keep it up.
The perfect welcome to summer
I was a child when this song came on the radio. My friends mom had a van with crushed velvet and glass beads and got a mile to the gallon. We would sing this song with its catchy tune.
Love this song, and lots of great memories at Balboa Park, hanging out at this exact same spot. Bravo
Jamming with Birkenstocks on! That's exactly what I'm doing! Love your sound!
Great song wonderful performance!
Yes! I’m so glad you guys are able to get out and work again! So much fun.
I'm from LA and on Spring break, but staying up at school and seeing you guys drive through where I grew up is pretty comforting. Thanks for covering such a great song. Lots of love
