Shuggie Otis wrote and recorded Strawberry Letter 23 for his 1971 album Freedom Flight. His real name is Johnny Veliotes Jr. and he's the son of Johnny Otis (John Veliotes), who is best known for the 1958 top-ten hit Willie & The Hand Jive. "Shuggie" is a nickname derived from "Sugar." Here is the original version of Strawberry Letter 23. The song has also been recorded by Quincy Jones & Akon, Jessy J, Phil Upchurch, Gary Grainger, Petra Haden and Tevin Campbell.
