Who wrote Brown Eyed Girl?
The timeless classic "Brown Eyed Girl" was written and sung by the iconic Northern Irish singer-songwriter Van Morrison. It was recorded in March 1967 at A&R Studios in New York City. “Brown Eyed Girl” was first released as a single in June 1967 on Bang Records.
The track was produced by Bert Berns and features backing vocals by the Sweet Inspirations, a gospel group. It peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US and No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart.
It was also included in Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time" at No. 117. And of course, it’s been covered by numerous artists, including Elvis Presley, The Beatles, and The Carpenters.
Fun Fact:
The line "Making love in the green grass" caused the song to be banned by some radio stations in the 1960s due to its perceived suggestive nature.
"Brown Eyed Girl" remains a classic still to this day. I used to cover it with my first band two decades ago, and it’s still called and played at parties all the time.
Is Brown Eyed Girl easy to play on guitar?
“Brown Eyed Girl” is a good song for beginners to learn as it only uses 4 chords total. You can also use the same strumming pattern throughout the entire song. While the chords are pretty straightforward the only difficult part is that there are certain sections in the tune where you’ll have to count bars and stay on track with the vocals. For example the bass solo there is a break and you have to know when to come back in. And before the chorus, there is a slight change in the progression. But the good news is, if you get off, it’s relatively easy to get back on track. This is because the majority of the song follows the same repeated chord progression over and over which makes it a good song to jam on for beginners.
