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 have always wondered who provided that great solo but never thought to look it up. Man I love that song.
