Brothers Johnson Strawberry Letter #23 Reaction

[@malexander2147]

R.I.P Louis Johnson (April 13,1955 - May 21,2015) Louis was one of the greatest bass players there ever was. He played the bass on a number of Michael Jackson's albums (including Billie Jean) he also played the bass on other records as well. He actually played the bass on a song you reacted to not that long ago. (Michael McDonald "I keep forgetting")

[@sarahzentexas]

Louis Johnson was one of the best players to ever handle a bass guitar. Rest in power.

[@katherinewilliams1875]

Thanks for sharing that. Wasn’t Louis a pastor? I think I remember hearing that. I loved the Brothers Johnson!

[@Bozmusic1]

I was 17 in 1977. If you like Louis Johnson's bass playing, check out another cut by them, "Get the funk out my face.". And Louis has played on a ton of hit records

[@robertwhite6203]

You’ve got that right ! Louis was tops on playing the bass .yes your 💯right he did play the bass on Michale Jackson,s thriller ! Not many knew that .

[@sergioivan8915]

Instablaster.

[@helgar791]

Their other great songs were "Stomp" and "I'll Be Good To You", both great. Give those a listen too.

[@bridgetlaw1484]

and Get the Funk Outta My Face

[@dranet47]

I love Stomp!!

[@the54thfloor47]

I’ll be good to you is awesome.

[@cynthiabustamante2884]

Damn, I agree! Those songs are amazing!!!

[@dappylu]

Absolutely!

[@sarahzentexas]

Louis Johnson, one of the greatest bass players EVER 👏👏👏 I’ve loved this song since the day I first heard it, back in 1977!

[@cebusam7545]

Most people like me as a 14 year old white kid that listened to music on the am radio in my moms car cruising around in the 70s. Was colorblind, we listened to whatever sounded Good, and 90% of it was Groove music...Soul.

[@fldude46]

im 56 years old i still listen to this song all the time thunder thumbs

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

I really love this song, it’s a classic! The Brothers Johnson were hit makers in the 70s and 80s! I also loved their songs, “Stomp, I’ll Be Good To You, Get The Funk Out Of My Face, and more”! I was a kid back then but my older sisters had their albums! They were very talented musicians! ❤️❤️

[@mattmascarelli]

I was about 14 or so when this came out. Was a big EW&F, Spinners, Stylistics, Temptations, Blue Magic cause I was from Philly area fan. Everything from those times were magical Rose Royce, Heatwave, Wow brings me back. Had to memorize and sing Strawberry Letter 23 asap. And after 10 or 20 times I did. Hello my love, I heard a kiss from you Red magic satin playing near, too All through the morning rain I gaze, the sun doesn't shine Rainbows and waterfalls run through my mind In the garden, I see West purple shower bells and tea Orange birds and river cousins Dressed in green Pretty music, I hear So happy and loud Blue flowers echo From a cherry cloud Feel sunshine sparkle pink and blue Playgrounds will laugh If you try to ask "Is it cool?" If you arrive and don't see me I'm going to be with my baby I am free, flying in her arms Over the sea Stained window, yellow candy screen See speakers of kite With velvet roses diggin' Freedom flight A present from you Strawberry letter 22 The music plays I sit in for a few Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh,…

[@Leon-wz1js]

Brothers Johnson (or, The Brothers Johnson) This indeed was a cover song, originally written by Johnnie (Shuggie) Otis Jr, when Shuggie was 17 (1971). Conceptually, it was about two young people who wrote love letters back and forth 22 times, and I believe they numbered their letters Strawberry letter 1, Strawberry letter 2, etc, etc. "Strawberry letter 22" is mentioned in the song, because the song, which Shuggie wrote to his girlfriend, is his reply letter, thus the song is titled "Strawberry letter 23" and as you do in any chain letter, you usually respond by mentioning things from the previous letter, in this case, Strawberry letter 22. The song doesn't really have a lot of meaningful dialogue. Just simple innocent young love, with a whole lot of imagery. It's not about lust and sex, it's about beautiful scenes "Rainbows and waterfalls run through my mind." He wanted her to be his girlfriend, so he was trying to write poetic things to impress her. The imagery was about what strawberry letter 22 invoked. Now, accordingly to what I heard, The Brothers Johnson, were younger cousins of Shuggie, and were going through his attic when they came across his song(s). The melody was rather simplistic, so the Brother's Johnson, with permission, added more funk to it, but left the lyrics primarily intact. Originally, Shuggie didn't get the song to be published, or if it did, it didn't chart at all.

[@craycrayeats7138]

Thanks man you just taught me a lot lol.

[@1984msmocha]

I either read or heard an interview that the girlfriend wore strawberry scented perfume that she would spray on the letters she wrote

[@mghJD]

Leon Shuggie was a guitar virtuoso, Quincy basically left the arrangement alone, I have the original recording and it was played on an acoustic guitar. If I remember correctly, I think Quincy brought Eric Clapton in to studio to play that guitar tremolo because George couldn’t play it.

[@jonathanparrish8710]

And thank you for breaking it down for me

[@rick5440]

One of my all time favorites, brings back some great memories. So much was happening musically in the late 70s. Punk, funk, soul, rock, metal, new wave, disco...

[@roseryan1542]

A blast from the past. It never gets old.

[@joydunn2109]

This came out in the Summer of 1977. I Have always Loved this song ❤❤ All I know is It's something about a Wedding ❤❤

[@greencertifiedweb]

It's a response to a letter. His girl has sent him (strawberry) letter 22, he's now responding with letter 23 :) He's telling her about the changes she brings to his world. Rather than seeing the morning rain and gloom, he sees rainbows and waterfalls... This world is a fantasy of cherry clouds and orange birds and children laughing at playgrounds. Back then, we didn't have texting. Phone calls cost a fortune so we sent letters when we were away.

[@terriertz6837]

Wow. This song took me on a trip in the way back machine. I haven't heard this since I was a kid in the 1970's. Good request!

[@joeday4293]

That guitar break is from another planet. That's one of my favorite guitar moments in music history.

[@arleneelvisgirl4451]

Always loved this song but still have clue what they are talking about! 70s music was the best!!

[@chucknchar]

Feel for those too young to know these great groups like the Bros Johnson, what?

[@johngayfilms]

It’s a cover, about a teenagers love letters

[@floorticket]

The only thing I can think of is that she sprayed some sort of strawberry sent on the letters she wrote. Like in da movies. The WWII sweetheart sprays some perfume on the letter and puts it in the envelope and the soldier opens it up in Germany and smells it.

[@daveyhouston]

He spoke too soft no one knew what he was talking about but louie louie was a hit and we never knew those lyrics back then either lol

[@daveyhouston]

[@sharonlofton8645]

Their music was 🔥 back in the day!! Yes I'm old

[@joannedungan8381]

8th grade. Took me back. 😀 I was listening to this song over and over until I got those lyrics down. I sat by my radio with my cassette recorder waiting for it to come on so I could record it off the radio. Good times.

I remember doing the same thing with my cassette recorder. Thanks for reminding me of that.

Thank you!! Something about this song sticks in your head I've loved it since a teenager in the 70's ☮😁

[@mzluna313]

Back in the 70's the beautiful thing about the music/lyrics, they could literally have countless meanings/interpretations all unique to the listener! My middle school music teacher was amazing. She would have us listen to popular rock/funk music and give our interpretations. There were 25 students and 25 different interpretations all of which made perfect sense! There was true talent back then, and something that's almost impossible to find now. I miss the true artists of yesterday!

[@pats8219]

I had an English teacher that did the same thing. Break down the lyrics and walk through their composition. He knew how to capture teenagers attention and get us to interact in a discussion. One of my favorite classes.

[@timdysart6860]

love that groove

[@Marcus-Oh-really-yes]

Please react to "Stomp" by the Brothers Johnson!!!!

[@Leon-wz1js]

Where was I when this song came out? Usually traveling to Delaware to visit my brother while he was in the Air Force. My dad was driving and he liked the song too! My dad and I were usually building (or rebuilding, and rebuilding, and...) an engine for my brother's car. For some reason, this song came out in heavy rotation, and I wasn't complaining. It's just a good grooving song to listen to.

[@julieford8788]

My kids love this song too! I was a young 14 when this song came out. I was in the school band and we listened to this a lot! They have some great songs. Ive exposed my kids to a lot of 70’s music. I think it’s taught them to appreciate great and talented musicians . ✌🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@frankjkyhwluyykklnpouoiuop3580]

17 here.

[@StormyPeak]

Back in the mid 1980's before internet... my brain for some reason remembered this song...and I could not think of who sang it...and in asking just about everyone I knew if they remembered I could Not find out. I went to the library trying to find song charts from the 1970s lol...because it started to drive me nuts - but my itty bitty library didn't have any books like that. No one at our local radio station recalled it either...but then the 2 disk jockeys we had mostly played country western music or hit parade type songs. About 6 months later.. I was in a 2nd hand store and saw a some cassette tapes show casing songs from 1971 or 1972...and there it was on one of those cassettes ( I can't remember which one...but I bought both of them. I was so happy at last the mystery was solved - I literally had an ear worm for 6 months with that song and also in no one else remembering it...like I said it was driving me nuts. Oh, the good old days of no internet.... Good to hear you react to some of these old songs. They do bring back memories. :D

[@go234ko96ts5]

One of my favorite songs from the late 70's, this was a very hot song, the longer version shows their guitar skills more. "Stomp" and I'll Be Good To You" were their other big hits. R.I.P.Louis Johnson gone May 21, 2015. The world lost a great bass player. This music with conviction never, never grows old.

This was mid seventies. I was a freshman in college. Some friends and I went to a concert with Earth, Wind and Fire. Brothers Johnson was one of the back up bands. Also backing up EWF were the Blackbirds. My son, who is 33, loves this song, and will play it and Heatwave's "Always and Forever" over and over.

[@christophergroome2471]

I loved your reaction when the harmonic guitar riff began. I remember my sister playing it for me the first time I heard it in '77

[@brinsonharris9816]

I was in HS, class of 1980, and was mostly into guitar bands like Aerosmith, The Who, Led Zep, and back then DJs had a lot more freedom on the rock station we all listened to. They’d play deep cuts that weren’t singles (Outlaws Green Grass & High Tides-awesome!), and they played this song. Totally grabbed me. More than just me because I heard it quite a few times. Great, great song and the harmonies and bass playing made it play in my head all day when I heard it on my way to school. DJ knew a great record when he heard it.

[@wallyboy6666]

Man MRM your taking me back, memories of elementary school!!! I remember this song well, it was the first time I learned how to be in a chrous group. Also the fact that my music teacher could play it on piano left a big impression on me. Also to further the memory my cousin picked out the Bass part by ear. It was 1977 and life was simple back then even though a lot of people don't realize this is a cover of a song by *Shuggie Otis* want to talk about a different feel!!! Thank goodness the *Brothers Johnson* ripped it up and made the more defining version!! Well as as always looking forward to your next reaction peace and blessings!!!

Love your reaction. This is wonderful music. - you picked up on the bass. You’re right. One of the best to ever do it. - the guitar solo. Very technically difficult. - the Fros. Amazing 🤩 fly. - the Brothers Johnson. Vocals, bass, guitar, good looking, performers, music - all around great vibe.

Rarely do I remember where I was when I 1st heard a song but this is an exception. I was a little girl on a long flight. This song was on a 10-song loop. I was tethered to the seat for the whole flight so I could listen over and over to Bros. J. play "Strawberry Letter 23" (and secondarily to hear Abba do "Waterloo").

[@hungfao]

I haven't heard this in decades. It is great to hear it again. It's like a soft pillow. Just relax and let it do its thing. This is a song that could be 3 times as long and I wouldn't tire of that groove. As good as this is, I've always been partial to their 'I'll Be Good To You'.

Love those Brothers Johnson Strawberry Letter 23 came out went right to the top a classic with those psychedelic lyrics late summer 1977 makes you feel good as you did 40 years ago actually written by an 18 year old in 1970 one of the Brothers Johnson heard it and loved it look up the original with the kid who wrote and sang it it was not put out what did not catch on but 1970 was psychedelic still. and this kid hung out with the hippies this brother. Shuggie Otis he got involved with Heroin and never reached his full potential but he's fine now still plays not sure on the details but I read it online somewhere you can find the song online somewhere just the audio I found

I wore that album out! That’s not the extended version. This version cut the instrumental section. The song was about two people in love sending letters to each other strawberry letter 23, 22, 21. I was in high school when this song received a lot of airplay. The brother in tan was a pastor, I think. I heard he passed. My sister always knew all the words to songs. I’d be singing them wrong for years. I would forget to read the lyrics on the album. One other song I loved on the Right On Time album was “Never Leave You Lonely” You’ve got to review it!!! It goes “My love, my only. you can’t imagine how you make me feel inside. For you have opened all doors. To you my heart can’t hide. Oh baby, my only. Say you love me and I’ll never leave you lonely (then some funky guitar riffs). Chorus: I’ll never leave you lonely girl (2 times) 2nd verse: My love, my only I know the two of us were hurt by love before, but now girl we’re together let’s love each other more. Oh baby, my only say you love me and I’ll never leave you lonely. (Funky guitar riffs) Chorus: I’ll never leave you lonely girl, I’ll never leave you lonely....
