So sad that this music will blow anything away in this day and age, no more funky bass lines. Truly the best of times during this era.

Remember when you had those boom boxes playing on the subway platforms or the subway cars as you got closer to the last stop on the beach! Thanks for putting it here!

I was driving my 2009 Cadillac CTS last night and decided to turn on the XM radio the 'Groove' station and the Brothers Johnson "Strawberry letter 22" was jamming. I was "buggin". Then it went off. Then a low volume of this jam was phasing in. I was like "this is not what I think it is"....I almost lost control of the car on the Jersey icey streets. I pushed the Bose up louder than I have ever in a car. WOW....Yes!! I pulled over to seat dance. Got home and Googled it. Awesome.

For some reason, the chorus to this song has been playing in my head all morning, since awakening. This song was from when I was 10-years-old and I can't remember hearing it since then. I wonder what set it to ringing around in my head? Thank God for Google and KZitem, because I could only remember the chorus and it was driving me crazy. Good song, though. I'm going to add it to my music collection.
