Otis' composition "Strawberry Letter 23" (as recorded by The Brothers
Johnson) topped the Billboard R&B chart and reached #5 of the
Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1977. He also achieved commercial success with
his 1974 single "Inspiration Information" (from the album of the same
name), reaching #56 on the R&B chart.
Born in Los Angeles, California, Otis is the son of rhythm and blues
pioneer, musician, bandleader, and impresario Johnny Otis and wife
Phyllis. The name "Shuggie" (short for "sugar", according to his
mother) was coined by Phyllis when he was a newborn.
Otis began playing guitar when he was two years old and performing professionally with his father's band at the age of twelve, often disguising himself with dark glasses and a false mustache so that he could play with his father's band in after-hours nightclubs...... (Wikipedia)
