I started my life's journey with this song on the radio. Anytime I hear it, it takes me back to that time.

[@robertwhite6203]

Listen to that bass ! Lois Jonhson was one of the best of the best (aka) known as thunder thumbs ! Just listing to this brings back many fun times from back in the day ! Time to break out the roller skates on a Friday & Saturday night ! Lace them up & roll

[@ronaldmillner6387]

You definitely need headphones to appreciate Lewis on bass

[@jamalford6995]

Yea like these Dre beats!!

[@19brittani]

louis johnson played bass on MJ OFF THE WALL album.. he was a excellent studio musican RIP LOUIS JOHNSON.

[@jamalbryant8099]

This song was on JACKIE BROWN, when Samuel Jackson shot Chris Tucker

[@debrapierce1946]

The master Quincy Jones discovered and produced The Brothers Johnson. 🎶

[@Lfg117]

🙌 Transcendent greatness of the old school brothers. Love & respect forever.

[@lb8471]

The song says "Strawberry letter 22" even though the title is "Strawberry Letter 23". Letter 22 was received and he anticipated letter 23. I LOVE that!!

[@bigcheese2128]

The song WAS strawberry letter 23, and in it he responds to strawberry letter 22 🤯🤯🤯

I had the biggest crush on these brothers... I was listening to them about a month ago. RIP Louis, one of the best bassists. 🙏🏾♥️💐🏆🎸🎸

[@dmartin1203]

This is great...going back and listening to your older reactions. I loved this song then, and I love it still today. Thank you for playing this one...brings back some memories!

[@IceManLikeGervin]

Nice reaction to a very dope song. The other song you did from them was called Stomp!. DJ Quik's Safe & Sound sampled this song as have many other rappers. Shuggie Otis did this song first when he was only 18 years old in 1971 and played all the instruments on it. His version is the best in my mind. Shuggie Otis is an artist that you should check out.

Love this song good old 70s Good Memories. Love it 🎹 🔥 🎵🎶🎼💃🕺🥰🎵🎼🎶

[@joydunn2109]

❤❤ A Big Favorite of mine in 1977.

[@SPLASHGOD575]

This is a remake. The original strawberry letter 23 is by an artist named Shuggie Otis who recorded this in 1971. I like the og better, but it's cool your diggin in the crates for some ol' school

[@sixfootbeauty]

Shuggie was their older cousin i believe

[@johnashley327]

Didn't know that. I was in grade school when this came out.

[@carouselred8994]

@@sixfootbeauty No relation. Shuggie is the son of the late great bandleader Johnny Otis.

[@sixfootbeauty]

@@carouselred8994 oh OK thanks. I guess he was like family 😁

[@kellywittmann1893]

Pure genius. Period.

[@danraffaniello1258]

Growing up in Brooklyn this was my favorite Song AM radio Jammed

[@valdannfamr.2430]

My favorite Brothers Johnson song 👍👍👍 But "Stomp" is really good too. Their songs were always playing on the radio 🤩

[@Lfg117]

"Strawberry Letter 23 has been sampled extensively by other artists, including Beyoncé, OutKast, J Dilla, RJD2 and Digable Planets, and was played during two of Quentin Tarantino's films, Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown."

[@warrenbfeagins]

I remember it in Jackie Brown, but Pulp Fiction??

[@pammysplaylist2706]

When listening to the Brothers Johnson you got to do get the funk out ma face and is it love that we’re missing.

[@gaffle-411]

The 70's were THE GREATEST ERA of music and musical creativity.

[@helgar791]

Shuggie Otis did the first version which was nice, but the guitars in this, both the plucked/slap bass and the guitar arpeggio's make this the classic version. Of course, since his girl sent him Strawberry (probably scented) Letter 22, this is Letter 23 in response to hers. To me it's both funny and tragic when you always say "Who stole from this song. Let me see, I can't remember".

[@b.rose.a.7338]

Shuggie Otis wrote this fantastic song...

[@Lfg117]

I love him bc he learns the music history & cares. I vibe w this young man all day. #Respect

[@m_waaka]

One of my favourites from the BJ. I love Stomp too!

[@JustJammin]

Ah, stomp is an amazing track!

[@rory693]

Perhaps a deep dive on Snuggie Otis at some stage. This is his song. A genuine prodigy.

[@helgar791]

I'm also a fan of The Brothers Johnson doing "I'll Be Good To You", and "Get The Funk Out Ma Face", all great cuts. Time for The Gap Band and "Outstanding", "Burn Rubber", "Early In The Morning" and "Oops Upside Your Head".

[@Lee-wh2bg]

The brothers also do "Come Together" by the Beatles on this album. It's so good I bet Paul McCartney wanted to slap them. 😂😍

[@jbjacobs9514]

I absolutely wore this 45 out!!! I still have it. hehe

[@ronaldmillner6387]

2 brothers, George on guitar and his brother Lewis on bass aka Thunder thumbs. Iconic bass player. He also is the bassist on Michael Jackson Beat it album and the 1 before that. Mike loved him on bass. You need to find a video or Lewis playing and you will see why he's called Thunder Thumbs.

[@1stltwife]

I just love that a young man like you enjoys one of my walking songs!! I believe music 🎶 unites us 🇺🇸 we need more of this. Your going to spread the love. Ps the samples are because musicians back then were just that..trained...not just imitations. Check Quincy Jones's repetoire! Blessings 🙌 🙌

[@michaelreiner8103]

Shuggie Otis was the son of R&B pioneer Johnnie Otis,who introduced "Hand Jive", among many others.

[@jamesjohnson1905]

Love their version of The Beatles "Come Together"

[@technoforever888]

Love this song!!!

[@anthonettedillard3999]

Teenage memories of the song watching people at a party take "strawberry acid and trip" off the sounds and imagery of this song, ha ha ha🤣

[@sylart57]

That's Louis "Thunder Thumbs" Johnson funking it up on the bass!!! "Get The Funk Out Ma Face!!" is another killer song by them!! But play the extended version!!

[@ronaldmillner6387]

Louis Johnson the bassist is the bass player on Michael Jackson's most famous hits and albums, Off the Wall and Thriller. Mike had to have him. Nickname Thunder Thumbs

[@ronroc]

They were proteges of Quincy Jones. Check out his Is It Love That We're Missing--the original one from 1975. Of course the production is flawless----it's produced by Q himself.

[@jamesjohnson1905]

Great song

[@cynthiabustamante2884]

Love Brother Johnson. Listen to I'll be good to you. Stomp. You know great music.

[@UNDERGROUNDskateco]

Bro you need proper headphones for these review, you aren't hearing all of the track with those earbuds. Love the reviews, keep them coming

[@JesseH]

This is the most iconic song you will ever hear. Enjoy my friend 😎👍

[@brenthowell8883]

Check out their song I'll be good to you. Love your reacting to my generations Old School R&B music.

They were Quincy Jones and Billy Preston's bands. First George then he brought Louis into Billy's band

[@jayeell1253]

But people forget about #stomp classic hit

The brother that played the distinctive slap-bass for this song was/is legendary. 🔥

[@ascendingkeyzbeats7446]

Appreciate this reaction JJ💯💯💯💯

[@JustJammin]

No problem!

[@zanohoriamazo1]

‘No Love, No Hearts’, Big Sean. Their other big hit was ‘Stomp’, which I’m sure was produced by Quincy Jones, & probably written by Rod Temperton who wrote Thriller, Off the Wall, etc. Louis (shorter hair), definitely made his Mark with his thumb & plucking skills, which you can hear more of on Stomp, as there’s like a break down that features the bass. He became an in demand studio player, as well as working closely with Quincy Jones’ projects, whatever he was doing: Michael Jackson, the whole Off the Wall album, Thirller & George Benson’s ‘Give Me The Night’, which also features some of Louis’ personal style. He has a brief part in the Spike Lee project, Michael Jackson: From Motown to Off the Wall.

[@kurtadams3021]

The Genius of the LEGENDARY Iconic Mr Quincy Jones

[@urmac1]

The bass player is one of the top bass players in the world he played the bassline for Billie Jean and Quincy used him as a set player for other artists

[@SopranoSistah]

This is one of the very few times where the remake is every bit as good if not a little better than the original in my view. Both versions are true classics and blow the mind.

[@anthonycecil7070]

No talent rappers “sample” (steal) from true musicians. Nobody today has a scintilla of the talent like the Brothers Johnson.

[@jeffcobb2734]

That little guitar bridge that occurs at 3:44 of your video is sooooo iconic. Very catchy.

[@triplegcarter7446]

The original artist of this song was a dude named Shuggie Otis. (Early 70s).

[@silhouetteimage3976]

I had the biggest crush on these brothers. My first loves “they just didn’t know it”. RIH Funk Heaven Louis!🙏🏾❤️💐🌈🕊

[@brickjones3831]

As Stated Before The song was originally recorded and written by a Man Name Shuggie Otis (Prince Before There ever was Prince) The Story behind this song was that was of the Brothers is Shuggie's Brother In Law and it was actually his Wedding Song to the marriage to Shuggies Sister. You should definitely check out out Shuggies Album " Inspiration Information" it has a song you should react to That Beyonce did not just sample she sang over the song "Rainy Day for her song "Gift From Virgo"

[@Lfg117]

Sampled on Outkast's "Ms Jackson."

[@kencognito3579]

Thunder Thumbs and Lightning Licks.

[@worldwidebirthdaycelebrations]

Who else remembers the smell of this record?

[@Lfg117]

My favorite reviewer💯

[@davidnelson6874]

This song is epically sublime and brainy. This is a cover of a Shuggie Otis song. Oh, and if it sounds good the fact it was produced by Quincy Jones might have a lot to do with it.

[@Lfg117]

Also sampled in a later, different 70s (?) classic song, "I Wanna Sex You Up."

[@jamesgarcia2905]

No disrespect. But we don’t care who sampled it. This is the original. And nowadays they don’t have no originality.

[@TheoZoffrok]

This isn't the original! I get your point, although I'm not sure I buy it - but do check out the original by Shuggie Otis. It's much less polished, a bit ramshackle, to me more soulful, and I prefer it to this, good though the Brothers Johnson's take is.

[@djmonster4248]

Produced by Quincy Jones.....

[@carlwilliams9318]
