The story behind 'Brandy (You're a Fine Girl)'

I seem to recall that years ago the late San Francisco columnist Herb Caen wrote a column in which he spent some time with a local woman who claimed to be the “real” Brandy that the song was based on. But instead of a bartender she had been a stripper.

Of course, that might have been her own delusion, but just wanted to get that into the record here.
