Hey, Sheray.

A very entertaining reaction 🤭🤐🤫😵🤯! Strokin' is a song off of Clarence Carter's 1986 album: Mr CC. The song wasn't released as a single in the US due to its raunchy lyrics but it was placed in jukeboxes in bars all across America. It was written and produced by Clarence Carter. The song didn't chart in the US but did chart in Australia (#24) and in the UK (#82). No info on the music video is available.
Clarence Carter is best known for his 1970 hit song: "Patches", where his bold voice and spoken word interludes told the story of a young who inherited the burden of caring for his family after his father died. He took these same vocal elements and turned them into the song: "Strokin'", a ribald song that finds him asking the kind of questions Howard Stern uses to query his guests. The song is blatantly sexual, and Clarence Carter never made a clean radio edit (we're not sure what that would sound like), so it never got any significant radio airplay, and although it did have a video, MTV wouldn't touch it.
Since the song was not fit for broad public consumption, Clarence Carter and his record label, a small Atlanta based outfit called Ichiban Records (run by Blues And Soul magazine editor John Abbey), came up with an unorthodox plan. They produced singles, but instead of marketing them to stores or radio, they placed them in jukeboxes, where bar patrons discovered the song and wore out the grooves. DJs started playing the song at weddings. Strip clubs put it in hot rotation. "Strokin'" became a minor sensation and helped his album: Dr CC, sell about 150,000 copies. Clarence Carter also became a popular live draw, with the song serving as his showstopper.
"Strokin'" was based on a 1981 song that Clarence Carter recorded called: "Love Building", where over a similar groove, he sings about "workin'". "Love Building", got a great response when he played it live, and Clarence Carter started improvising the "I'm strokin'" line, which went over well with audience members who recognized it as a term for sex. When he was working on his Dr CC album, he decided to rework "Love Building" as "Strokin'".
The song was sampled by Black Star for their song: Hater Players (1998).
The song has been featured in two films 📽: The Nutty Professor (1996) and Killer Joe (2011).
The song has been covered by three artists 📻: Insane Clown Posse (1995), Grandmaster Slice (1999) and Big Al Carson (2002).
Clarence Carter Info 📰:
Clarence Carter was born on January 14, 1936 in Montgomery, Alabama. He went blind at one year of age. He is a singer, songwriter, musician and producer. His most successful songs include: "Slip Away" (1968), "Back Door Santa" (1968), "Too Weak to Fight" (1968), "Snatching It Back" (1969), "Patches" (1970), "I Can't Leave Your Love Alone" (1970) and "Strokin" (1986). Clarence Carter grew up in Alabama listening to Blues singers like John Lee Hooker and Washboard Sam, guys who found many different ways to sing about sex. Clarence Carter attended the Alabama School for the Blind in Talladega, Alabama, and Alabama State University in Montgomery, graduating in August 1960 with a Bachelor of Science degree in music.
His professional music career began with friend Calvin Scott, signing to the Fairlane Records record label to release: "I Wanna Dance But I Don't Know How", as Clarence & Calvin, in 1961. After the 1962 release of the single: "I Don't Know (School Girl)", the pair joined Duke Records, renaming themselves as the C & C Boys and releasing four singles for the record label, though none were commercially successful. In 1965, the duo recorded the song: "Step By Step", at Rick Hall's FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals; it was released on the Atlantic Records' subsidiary Atco Records record label, but it also failed to chart.
The duo performed regularly in clubs in Birmingham, Alabama in 1966. After Calvin Scott was seriously injured in an auto accident, Clarence Carter continued as a solo singer, and recorded for the Fame Records record label. In 1967 he recorded the song: "Tell Daddy", which reached number 35 on the Billboard R&B chart and inspired Etta James' answer record: "Tell Mama", for which Clarence Carter was credited as writer.
At the end of 1967, Clarence Carter joined Atlantic Records. He then began a string of hits on the R&B and pop charts, starting with: "Slip Away" (number 2 R&B, number 6 Pop), which has been described as "a superior cheating ballad spotlighting his anguished, massive baritone", and "Too Weak to Fight" (number 3 R&B, number 13 Pop). Both of the preceding Atlantic Records singles were certified Gold (one million copies sold) by the Recording Industry Association of America. At the end of 1968, he had a seasonal Pop hit with the raunchy and funky song: "Back Door Santa" (number 4 Christmas Pop), and toured nationally. His backing singers included Candi Staton; they married in 1970 and produced a son, Clarence Carter Jr, before divorcing in 1973.
Clarence Carter continued to have hits in 1969 and 1970, with songs including: "Snatching It Back", "The Feeling Is Right", "Doin' Our Thing" and "I Can't Leave Your Love Alone" all reaching both the US Pop and R&B music charts. The B-side of the single: "Snatching It Back", was a remake of a remake of James Carr's 1967 song: "The Dark End Of The Street", entitled "Making Love (At The Dark End Of The Street".
Clarence Carter's biggest hit came in 1970 with his version of the song: "Patches", first recorded by Chairmen Of The Board, in 1970, which was a UK number 2 Single chart hit and a US number 4 Pop chart hit. The record sold over one million copies, and received a Gold disc awarded by the RIAA in September 1970, just two months after its release. It also won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Song in 1971. Following his songs: "Slip Away" and "Too Weak To Fight", it was Clarence Carter's third million-seller. However, Clarence Carter's later record releases were less successful, and he left Atlantic Records at the end of 1971 to rejoin the Fame Records record label.
In 1975 he signed to ABC Records, releasing three albums including: Loneliness & Temptation (1975). According to writer Brian Ward: Clarence Carter "virtually made a career from tales of unbridled love and illicit sex...". With the advent of Disco in the mid-1970s, Clarence Carter's career suffered. After the birth of another son, Herbert Deon Wilkerson in 1981, he signed for Ichiban Records in 1985 and found a new audience with songs including: "Strokin'" and "Dr CC" in the 1980s and 1990s.
His song: "Strokin'", was reputedly deemed too ribald for a public release or radio play, so the record company placed the records in jukeboxes, where bar patrons discovered the song. "Strokin'" was given further acclaim when it was used in the Eddie Murphy remake of the film: The Nutty Professor, in 1996. It was most recently used in William Friedkin's 2011 film: Killer Joe.
Clarence Carter's Soul sound also found an audience within the then-nascent Hip-Hop community. Most notably, the horn break from "Back Door Santa" is sampled in the Run-D.M.C. song: "Christmas in Hollis" (1987).
Clarence Carter's later songs continue to appeal to a primarily African-American working-class audience that is also interested in contemporary Blues artists such as Denise LaSalle, Bobby Rush, Marvin Sease and Sir Charles Jones. He has continued recording, releasing six albums for the Ichiban Records record label and, since 1996, establishing his own Cee Gee Entertainment record label.
In 2023, Clarence Carter has also continued to tour regularly in the Southern states and internationally.
