Retro Thursday with Shuggie Otis

Photobucket


This week we had to dig really deep and dust off a few records in the process to come up with this rare find. Shuggie Otis best known for his composition "Strawberry Letter 23" which later became a hit from the group the Brothers Johnson, is the (excuse us for this) original Lenny Kravitz and was putting it down long before Prince and all the other artist who followed after. Otis covered every genre of music, from Funk to Rock& Roll and even R&B. Now for those of you who know about this mans great pieces of work can relate to the fact that Shuggie was wayyyyyyyyy before his time, so we decided to go into the vault and bring you "Island Letter" a lovely B-side that was on the album Inspiration Information. Light some candles and get a glass of your favorite beverage (alcohol is not promoted on this site) Enjoy........................
