Brown Eyed Girl - Jimmy Buffett - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"Brown Eyed Girl" is an iconic track from Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison's 1967 debut album, Blowin' Your Mind! Penned by the singer himself and produced by Bert Berns, its initial title "Brown-Skinned Girl" was accidentally switched to "Brown Eyed Girl" during recording, a change Van Morrison attributes to a mere oversight. Drawing from Calypso and Jamaican influences, the song is a nostalgia-ridden number that finds the narrator reminiscing about a romantic connection from the past. However, its candid portrayal was seen by some radio stations as overly suggestive, leading the label to release a tamer, edited version. Shortly after its release in June 1967, "Brown Eyed Girl" reached number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 and, in time, became Van Morrison's signature song. Considering its evident Caribbean overtones, it should come as no surprise that American soft rocker Jimmy Buffett decided to cover it on his 1983 twelfth studio LP, One Particular Harbour. Though faithful to the original, Jimmy Buffett's version added an extra layer of tropicality to "Brown Eyed Girl," infusing it with his trademark island escapism vibes. His rendition peaked at number 13 on the Adult Contemporary chart in the United States.
