Needa S. - Strawberries (1997)

[@CJH71587]

Classic from 1997! ❤

[@EssentialClassic]

BET Midnight Love had this on rotation nightly in 1998. Takes me back to being on the phone with my crush, with me trying to be a player while the show was on.

[@vanityvibez]

She was going by Smooth during this song tho

[@cameronhailey1627]

I didn’t know there was a music video for this song.....this was one of her biggest hits aside from the underrated “Mind Blowin”.

[@yomiwilliams4368]

More like “ undercover Lover” ❤️

[@Thozywozy]

Mind Blowing still slaps. This does 2 though!!!

Smooth was so underrated but I loved watching this video on the box. She was behind the scenes for a minute and came back as Needa S ( Juanita Stokes) sister of Chris Stokes she used that name on the TG4 (a group featuring Ambee aka Seven Streeter) Time For The New album and Sensitive a single with Da Brat then she disappeared again. I wish I could find the soul train performance

[@Patrick-ug2ls]

Love that people out here still reppin the channel The Box 📦, props for that.

[@katwmn2524]

I love this song from the beginning (2021)...l wish they would extend the screen of the video so l can see it full blast on the new TV screens to get the full effect of the original video

[@kaivabrown51]

I swear!

[@Purplegorillaz]

I remember first seeing this video on BET Planet Groove when I was young..Love the beat dope song.

[@musiclover-cn7tb]

Patrice Rushen sample also used by mobb deep sped up for temperature's rising feat Crystal Johnson.

[@oscarmendoza8781]

Wow haven't heard this song or seen this video since my senior year of high school 😮😮😮😮😮

[@thatguy3985]

Been listening to Smooth for years...Mind Blowin.

[@kayshawnsimmons6822]

This song takes me back to riding wit my friends on a summer night on the lake front our senior year.

[@homehere9817]

I was born and raised in Detroit and I swore Smooth was from Detroit because we had plenty of Henny and Martel bill boards throughout the city! I can still hear this song being bumped down W7mile!! I think I was in middle or elementary then!!

[@SIGNALFREQ]

I remember watching this video with my ex-wife and she turned the channel because she could tell I was getting turned on...LOL

[@RoDiggityDangit79]

This song was in heavy rotation on The Box

[@thesbianbeauty]

This is still my song 🔥🔥! I used to love that little dance she was doing lol

The visuals themselves are DOPE. Her looks and swag were beyond on point, but whoever directed this video needed to be FIRED! Lol. The transitions are all over the place and the pace of them doesn't match up with the smooth tempo of the song.
