Brown Eyed Girl Recorded 42 Years Ago Today

"I didn't perform (Brown Eyed Girl) for a long time because for me it was like a throwaway song. I've got about 300 other songs I think are better than that."
-Van Morrison

Van recorded Brown Eyed Girl on March 28, 1967 at A & R Studios in New York City. It was first released in May 1967, reaching number ten on the Billboard charts. It was Van's first solo hit after he left the band Them in 1966.

Today, it is listed as the #4 most played song by DJs. In 2007, Van was awarded a Million-Air certificate by BMI for 8 million air plays of "Brown Eyed Girl".
