The album also garnered Campbell his first two Grammy nominations, one in 1991 for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance (for "Round and Round"), and one in 1992 for the same award (for "Tell Me What You Want Me to Do"). Chart performance ''T.E.V.I.N.'' yielded two No. 1 R&B hits in " Tell Me What You Want Me to Do" and " Alone with You", and had several other hits. Of the combined eight singles t ...

Strawberry Letter 23
"Strawberry Letter 23" is a 1971 song written and composed by Shuggie Otis from his 1971 album '' Freedom Flight''. It is also widely known by the 1977 cover version recorded by the Brothers Johnson and produced by Quincy Jones. History The song's chorus says "Strawberry Letter 22" instead of the actual title of the song. This is because the premise of the song is that a couple is exchanging love letters in musical form. The singer is creating "Strawberry Letter 23" as a reply to the song he has received from his lover, and he refers to her previous message as "Strawberry Letter 22" when replying. The Brothers Johnson version George Johnson, of the Brothers Johnson, was dating one of Otis's cousins when he came across the 1971 album '' Freedom Flight''. The group then recorded "Strawberry Letter 23" for their 1977 album '' Right on Time,'' which was produced by Quincy Jones, and the album went platinum. Their rendition hit the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and peaked at number five ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
