"Strawberry Letter 23" is a song written and composed by Shuggie Otis, and best known by the version recorded by The Brothers Johnson, which Quincy Jones produced. It is said that Otis wrote the song for a girlfriend who used strawberry-scented paper when she wrote letters to him, but Otis himself says that this is not true. He recorded it for his 1971 album ''Freedom Flight.'' George Johnson, of the Brothers Johnson, was dating one of Otis's cousins when he came across the album ''Freedom Flight.'' The group recorded "Strawberry Letter 23" for their 1977 album ''Right on Time,'' which was produced by Quincy Jones, and the album went platinum. They recorded the song in a funkier, more dance-oriented vein than the original Otis version. Their rendition hit the Hot 100 and peaked at number five and reached number one on the Soul Singles chart in 1977. Studio guitar player Lee Ritenour recreated Otis's original guitar solo for the Brothers Johnson cover. The 12" single was pressed on red strawberry-scented vinyl. ==Soundtrack appearances== * The song is played at length in the Quentin Tarantino film ''Jackie Brown'' and is featured on the movie soundtrack album. * The song can also be heard in the TV series ''Six Feet Under,'' Season 5, Episode 9. * The song is featured in ''Nip/Tuck,'' Season 3, Episode #2. * A version of this song by Yuna is used for an H&M department store commercial - spring 2015 *The Shuggie Otis version can be heard on the film ''Munich.'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Strawberry Letter 23」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
