“BROTHER LOUIE” by STORIES
“Brother Louie” is a funky pop song that was originally recorded by British soul band, Hot Chocolate. However, it was the Stories version that truly resonated throughout North America (and went on to become a gold record).
The lyrics within tell the story of an interracial couple and all the challenges they were forced to deal with (including social issues and prejudice) during the early seventies.
On this very day, August 25th 1973, it was the #1 song in America, topping Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. If you’d like to have a listen, please feel free to use the provided link. From their album, “About Us”, here’s STORIES with “BROTHER LOUIE”…
