1986 Strokin was on the radio station but then cut some of the expletive content like the record skipped Clarence is still living while he still here Give the "strokin'man" his flowers.
I remember hearing this song when I was like 13 after having my first alcohol infused mudslide at a tropical resort in the Grand Caymans, like "wtf is this?" and watching all these adults get lose on the dance floor and thinking "this is inappropriate"... Oh how innocent..... haha
After seeing aerosmith Molly hatchet van Halen ZZ top Boston the Rolling Stones and several others live I can honestly say this was the best concert I've ever seen. Clarence Carter is definitely the best musician and entertainer I've ever seen. Undisputed.
One of The Greatest Heartfelt, Performers, in musical history. Clarence Carter. Is a National Treasure. Why this man, is not a household, name. Has always troubled me greatly. And deeply.
Man back in the 80s I remember me and my gal pals would hit the clubs and this song would come on. We would hit the floor and line dance. The guys would be droolin
This song is amazing. I love singing and dancing to this song. Thank you Clarence Carter for coming up with such a fun song to dance and party to. This song always brings life to any party.
I love how at 1:24 - 1:27 he sets it up for his drummer. And those clean guitar chords with a blend of country, soul and blues. He's not all over the place playing sloppy.
I worked with Clarence Carters management label years ago. This man is incredible, his music is real. I'm so happy to see this music here, Strokin' isn't his best, he has a vast CDs. .. ty so much for posting this song. He's still has it xoxoxoxo Clarence
my favorite line "the police came and shined his light on me and I said I'm strokin" immediately going into the chorus. And in the music video he's all sweaty and looks so proud
SGT Biddle thanks for the joy!! It was right before we loaded the plane to do another of many tours to Iraq or Afghanistan and we were sitting there in the barracks just in deep thought; He started up his music and had everyone rolling off there beds!! LOL! It was just what we needed.
Clarence Carter Clarence Carter Clarence Carter oooo shit. Stroke it Clarence Carter but don't stroke so fast if my stuff ain't tight enough you stroke up my ooo.
Love this song takes me back to when the police shinned the light on me!!!! True story. Love some Clarence Carter. Oh they called my Mom but they sure didn't tell her we were Strokin!!!
After growing up in the boondocks and listening to all kinds of music my parents went to Spain for a month. Anyway I was 12 years old so my 18 year old sister was watching over me. So her boyfriend wanted to take her to see somebody called Clarence Carter. My sister knew of him and told her boyfriend that I'd have to come along. He agreed especially as my sister was 5ft.8 inch tall 110 lbs. unknowingly to me was extremely gorgeous. Anyway after getting to the outside concert near Stone Mountain Georgia my sister's boyfriend showed me the finer things of life while my sister wasn't watching. He brought a plastic milk jug a large container of bootleg in his long jean jacket with inside pockets capable of brining lots of the finer things of life along. Long story short the milk jug was to pee in due to the outside concerts bathrooms we're far away. It was pitch dark and he snuck me several sips of bootleg and he had other things that may have been alittle bit illegal to law enforcement. So after he showed me the finer things of life while my sister wasn't watching I ended up getting close enough to Clarence Carter that I could have jumped up on stage. About four feet away from Clarence. I'd never heard his music before this concert, but I knew one thing I was going to get his record the following day. The last song was Stroking and everyone in the crowd was yelling STROKING!!!!!! Over and over. He acted like he was finished singing the lights even went out on the stage. About a minute went by and then in the pitch dark He started this song Stroking. The lights came back on the crowd went crazy beyond anything I'd ever seen. Several girls white black Chinese Spanish were taking their bras off and throwing them on stage. Again, I'm only 12 years old. Several of the girls surrounded me lifting their shirts up. Tittys everywhere. Several girls rubbed their breast on me knowing that I was just a young boy. But after a few rubs my pants starting bulging like a steel rod. The girls knew it and started rubbing their butts all over my Woodrow. I'll stop now but I had to tell ya everything so you'd understand why Clarence Carter will always be one of my greatest singer's. By the way my sister realized that I'd been drinking and doing other things that may be alittle illegal to law enforcement once when we headed home. I was in the back of my sister's boyfriends 1970 SS 396 Chevrolet Malibu. High performance engine with convertible top fortunately for him. Traveling back home with the top down I tapped his shoulder and pointed to my mouth something he said to do if I was getting sick. Anyway after pulling over at a rest stop I started getting rid of everything in my stomach including several inches of my gut,it felt like before we actually stopped the car. The next morning my sister came in my bedroom and woke me up and said get up and let's go get your Clarence Carter album. On the way my sister said that if I ever mentioned this concert to anyone she'd beat my brains loose. So please don't tell anyone about this story,thanks. I be stroking.
I remember those old school Compilation/ Various Artists Album commercials where the whole commercial was song excerpts with the different songs scrolling up the screen. His was like 5 seconds and all his clip said was "I be STROKIN!" Brings back my childhood.
"I been strokin! That's what I been doing... I been strokin!" I was thinking about the same thing!!! When I was a kid, I would be at my grandma house and those commercials would come on and that clip would just make my day. When he cracked that smile, that did it for me, Lmao.
Was in a pool hall one night and it had one of the old jukeboxes. Well this song got stuck and it played all night, over and over. It was better than no music at all
I use to hit clubs in town when there was live bands rock and country, one band played this and the crowd went wild. Good stuff, miss the 80s with bands with instruments that takes so much talent. Dj stuff just ain't the same and rap and hip hop all computer generated sounds, no instruments. Watching guitar players and drummers get into it is fun to watch...
I only was able to discover this amazing man and this amazing song because of this: here in Spokane, when I was growing uo, the cable TV company here was called Cox Cable. They had a number of rather... unique... channels. One was this local thing where you could call a local number and request a song from a long list. I think it cost 50 cents per song? They added it to the cable bill. Then they'd play the song from the code you dialed. It would then put you in a que until they played your selection. My mother put a $20/month limit on me lol otherwise iI'd go nuts. So much fun. This was about '91 or '92.
blind players are proof of God, I know this may seem an odd song to say that in the comment section. I grew up with a piano playing sister(sighted). Ray, Stevie, Ronnie, and my friend Justin...how they get their hands on the right keys everytime just blows me away. Like they see with their souls. And we all know who gave us our souls.
Dave, I so agree with you. God has given us all unique gifts. And I am amazed by the great gentlemen of artists that you mentioned. I love all of them as well as Clearance Carter and Jose Felicinano.
first heard this song as a kid when I was 8-10 years old. My friends dad had it on vinyl. Here I am now at the age of 49 still laughing and enjoying as much as I did back then. Not sure If really knew what stroking was back then, but I remember it being funny...
We always covered "Strokin" on the fourth set when everyone was good and lacquered up. It never failed that tips would cover our stage as some of the crowd would slip outside while others would really get down on the dance floor. We the band, loved old Clarence Carter and makin lub to da woman dat we lub da bes!
1st time I saw Clarence in concert around 1990 something I didn't know that he was going or was blind.. but I loved his music and went to that concert outside of Montgomery Abalama and had a great time and enjoyed every second of his show,he I's a showman and does turn on the crowd... I'd like to see him live one more time before my days are done but alas..
At 66 still cant get enough of this song. Listened at least a thousand times. LOVE IT.
1986
Strokin was on the radio station but then cut some of the expletive content like the record skipped
Clarence is still living while he still here
Give the "strokin'man" his flowers.
I remember hearing this song when I was like 13 after having my first alcohol infused mudslide at a tropical resort in the Grand Caymans, like "wtf is this?" and watching all these adults get lose on the dance floor and thinking "this is inappropriate"... Oh how innocent..... haha
So awesome that Clarence is still performing.
Brings a smile to my face to know that a guy who is now 78 is still at it.
