Quincy Jones – Strawberry Letter 23 f. Akon (Video)

I’m not a fan of this version. For all aspiring old heads like myself, check out the original down bottom and see why this is an inferior remake.

The only two classics Quincy Jones has ever made: Thriller and Rashida Jones.

  7. Shuggie Otis was that dude! I think the brothers Johnson did the best version. Oh yeah, FUCK AKON!

  10. You just had to mention Rashida Jones on me…aww shit.
    And yeah, I didn’t even bother watching the remake, just went straight to the original.

  11. I disagree. His “Body Heat” and “Gula Matari” albums are worth checkin out.

  13. quincy’s “soul bossa nova” aka the austin powers song.

    co-sign rashida….and qd3′s production on cube’s lethal injection is pretty solid too.

  14. I think Quincy Jones has gotten senile. He is fucking up classics. First that “We Are The World” re-make which was horrendous, now this? Im starting to think these aren’t remakes and Quincy just caught alztimers and forgot he made them years ago lol

  22. Quincy Jones a Monsta! Akon wrecked that song. He should be ashamed.

  23. “The only two classics Quincy Jones has ever made: Thriller and Rashida Jones”

    @Meka – What the FUCK are you talking about…That Brother’s Johnson album was a CLASSIC that has been hella sampled forever in hip-hop, Of the Wall might be Better than Thriller, if not Just as Good, Secret Garden was Crucial, and that bossanova joint is one of the songs EVER – ANY genre. Stats and body of work the GOAT – Any genre!! Rashida Jones – she’s cute and all, but suffers from “noassatall” syndrome. Granted the Akon version is crap….You lost big time with that quote. That aside the AKON verison is Crap tastic garbage!

  34. I`m sorry,but Q made more than 2 classics. The Dude, The Wiz(wich has been sampled by more than alot of people) Back On The Block and Thriller in my opinion.

    Dj ILL One said this on April 16th, 2010 at 7:18 pm

  35. Sorry but Akon and Quincy did not do this song justice. This is a classic and cannot be duplicated. However I would like to make a beat with a sample of this. Think it would be dope.

    Tone Ikasu said this on April 16th, 2010 at 7:20 pm

  36. Shuggie did the OG…..not the Brothers Johnson. although both versions are dope…..Shuggie shines much brighter in my opinion.

  37. this is such bullshit i just sampled this track and they come out with this shit.

    R-I-C said this on April 17th, 2010 at 3:31 pm

  38. The original is on my short list of songs that should never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever be remade.

    Q = FAIL!!!!
