Here’s another question I’ve always wondered.

Why in the Brothers Johnson song, it goes:

A present from you
Strawberry letter 22

But the title of the song is “Strawberry Letter 23”?

Okay, that accounts for Strawberry Letter 22 - but what about Strawberry Letters 1-21?

And while we’re at it, whatever happened to Funks 1 through 48?

Strawberry letter 22, is the letter his girl sends him, and his reply, the song, is strawberry letter 23. So that's the title of the song.

The song was written by Shuggie Otis in 1971. Lee Ritenour did the solo on the Brothers Johnson versio.

I always assumed the song itself was Strawberry Letter 23 - a response to Strawberry Letter 22, which the singer had received.
