BURNING THE GROUND EXCLUSIVE 1985
“You Look Marvelous” is a 1985 novelty/dance track recorded by American comedian Billy Crystal. The song peaked at #58 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US, and #17 in Canada.
“You Look Marvelous” would also have an accompanying music video that had heavy rotation on MTV. Both the song and video features Crystal in character as his SNL persona of talk show host Fernando Lamas. The video features Lamas cruising around in what was at the time the world’s longest stretch limousine, built by custom coach designer and builder Vini Bergeman, surrounded by models in bikinis.
The accompanying album titled “Marvelous” was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Comedy Recording at the 1986 Grammy Awards.
