Strokin'

"Strokin'" is a song written and performed by Clarence Carter, featured on the 1986 album "Dr. C.C." It remained on the New Zealand music charts for 46 weeks and reached #2 in the 1990 Year-end chart.

"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 Nutty Professor. It was most recently used in William Friedkin's film Killer Joe.
