The Stories - Brother Louie

[CremeFraiche1337]

hi teehee

[mikedrummonds]

five people are going to cry.

[n00bs4ib0t133]

best version. the original is good too. but this is the shit.

[infinera06]

@n00bs4ib0t133 This IS the original version.

[n00bs4ib0t133]

@infinera06 this is a cover of hot chocolate's brother louie. not the original.

[75surfgirl]

Reminds me of cruzing the boards in Ocean City MD with Cheryl, PW & Robin.

I miss those days. I wish I had a time machine.

[curvy71]

i think i went to an all white Elementary school but when i got in high school i seen some good looking black guys.

[michelemedina55fiona]

Love it

[RationalDischarge]

I was just thinking about how much the chord progression and instrumentation of this song reminds me of "Evil Woman" by ELO, then I looked up and saw that it was first in "suggested videos." That was hella creepy.! Google/YouTube can read our minds now.

[ourlighthouse9]

fantastic.............really brings back memories.........so glad that I found it again.........thanks so much for posting!

[TheEmcee00]

A W E S O M E !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jorge79019]

C.R.A.Z.Y soundtrack is amazing

[PRESTOSAURUSREX]

Louie on FX.

[POBulkhead]

I'm a white man, 52. I used to hear this song on the barn radio when I had to milk the cows at 5:30am before school. I love this song too. There was only one black girl in school and she was two grades ahead of me and she was the most beautiful girl that I ever saw at the time. Beyonce' beautiful. Made me wish that I was Brother Louie. It's hard to get hot chicks when ya smell like cow crap.

[PAJ9211]

Best Version on youtube thanks!

[MajorFanHere]

Love this song. Thanks so much for posting it.

[JamesMcCloud]

I'm pretty sure this a song about crack cocaine...

[cbappa2]

@JamesMcCloud But then really, aren't all songs about crack cocaine in one way or another?

[noproblem53]

just listening to stories version for the first time -- sorry fans the original is way way better for me--

[jeepgrand0]

if louis ck brought you here thumbs up

[FrankDamage]

NOW THIS is the version I remember from when I was a kid!

I dont think I ever heard the Hot Chocolate version until I started looking for THIS.

[McCallahanIndustries]

Louie, Louie you're gonna die.

[bucky468]

The album "About Us" which has the original version of "Brother Louie" is now available at iTunes.

[TheCJBSR1]

I grew up loving this song and never knew the official name of it nor the artist.

Great post.

[Holz4xa]

La oí primera vez en sudamerica. Muy impresionado. Nunca olvide. I've newly this song on Internet found, stil maybe more impressed. Now I know very well the lyrics. Super chanson, mon amie, beacoup plus jeune, l'a aimé tout de suite. Man braucht so schönes Gesang, also universal. Liebe ist das Stichwort. We're gonna ever love this song.

[sweetlatincaramel]

Great song...and it still rocks!

[Jlady43]

these guys wrote a really cool r&b rock song

[meaty220]

@chessmasterharvey...me too

[elsyd1971]

I was born in '71 and this song is my earliest memory of music. My mother passed away when I was 2 and my father said my mother loved this song and listened to it all the time. I love this song myself.

[ChessMasterHarvey]

LOUIS CK BROUGHT ME HERE!

[SuperFatrock]

Man i am from a black family of 10 from the 70's this was a blue eyed soul crossover hit.

remember those K-tel Records Commercials from the 70's

[SuperFatrock]

Man i am from a black family of 10 from the 70's this was a blue eyed soul crossover hit.

[truleo62]

Growing up in Alamogordo, New Mexico, with our main radio channel out of El Paso, TX, (xrock80) it was sounds like this that made simple rocking real, politics left out, simple head banging reality and good listening music...

[bucky468]

Is this the original album version of the song? Why is the original not on iTunes yet? All I can find is a latter day remake of it credited to Ian Lloyd Formerly of Stories.

[87shadowfox]

Does anybody else know that LIL ROB ripped this song off? If I were STORIES id sue lil rob

[Slicearoni]

@87shadowfox I am sure that he got clearance to use the sample and they got paid definitely. I'm sure if you google the credits for the Lil Rob song that you will find that they are credited on the cover. Don't think he could get away with their song as big as it was.

[Rcasca1]

Like the lyrics say..It does'nt matter..

[PumaDown]

Music to my ears...love the beat!

[DaveWollenberg]

Wanna thank you, Ian Lloyd, for personally gettin' back to me 'bout my comment. You guys hit #1 in Billboard, 8-25-73. Thanx!

[bucky468]

@DaveWollenberg Is Ian gonna try to get Stories back catalog on iTunes? I'd love to have the original version of this song. All I can find is Ian's remake. Nothing beats the original & I want it. I can't even find the vinyl album for a reasonable price.

[jaakriaj]

At the start I though it was "It´s too late from Carole King" hahaha

[jaakriaj]

A classic song, no doubt!

[vangielincoln]

I meant 30 yrs ago lmao! still love this song brings back so many memories!

[djbillygee]

I MEAN IF YOU.RE GONNA PLAY " BROTHER LOUIE" DAMN IT PLAY THE ORIGINAL..DON,T THESE PEOPLE KNOW THAT PEOPLE LIKE US ARE GOING TO KNOW THE FAKE FROM THE ORIGINAL..THIS WAS MY THEME SONG FOR THE LONGEST TIME..AND NO I DON,T LIKE IT BY HOT CHOCOLATE..

[pedrinelastronauta]

Reminds me of the first day I heard this jam... 1986.. Serving a six year stint in Texas Juvi.. Loved it then, love it now...

[MrGato532]

hermosos recuerdos con todos mis hermanos viviendo con mi madre y escuchando esta cancion que nos emocionava mucho y aun este video se lo dedico a mi hermano salvador mora muñoz que tanto le gusta pues a recordar hermano Barri.

[veroniaannette1964]

i love this song brings back good memories

[AlejandriUx7]

when I listened this song I felt marvelous. It is great

[aaroniguana]

This is the better version of this song, but not the original. Errol Brown and Hot Chocolate wrote and released this 6 months earlier. One of the few cover songs I can stomach.

[frenchguy327]

Love that song!!!! heard it on the radio this morning when I was driving to work.....could not stop singing it all day!!!

[latidoeterno]

oh yes! 70s classic rock-funky soul-disco jam. i love all the sounds coming out of this song.

[fx662s]

fuck you bastardog.

[MrBikerdude76]

One badass jam....

[godsson4ever]

I am 25 yrs old and ive bin looking for this song for a year on youtube and now its on my favorites i can shake my ass to this!!!

[curvy71]

this has to be one of my favorite songs.would like to try a black man before i die(of course I'm married if i ever divorced my hubby)

[jason75]

Great song, havnt heard in so long.

[DaveWollenberg]

Glad to see the shot of the Sounds of the '70s cover. Billboard's 341st #1 hit of the rock era. God bless!

[veronikachp]

los arreglos de guitarra y oechesta son adictivos, SUPER TEMAZO.......

[curvy71]

this has to be one of my favorite songs.i think love is color blind.if i wasn't married i would like to try out a black man lol.

[PixieandDelirio]

EXCELENTE!! ME RECUERDA C.R.A.Z.Y.

[twoshakesofasnake]

The tune right at the start, bow wow oww etc, its in another song but I cant think of it, any ideas?

[234helenrose]

@twoshakesofasnake Evil Woman?

[AndyGMusic]

C.R.A.Z.Y.

[MarkusHomer]

They are just called "Stories" not "The Stories" ;)

[teehonky]

"BROTHER LOUIE" is Black slang for.....

a a BAD habit

b a White man dating a black woman with kids

c the retarded brother that Black siblings wont admit they're related to

[kungfunez]

Reminds me of parties at Daddys house!

[bucky468]

Better than any music (or at the very least most of it if anything) from today - bar none.

[blackpetebruklen]

this song is a certified classic!

[11xzxzxz]

Hey this one oldies4ever doesn't skip. If the white guy loves the black woman then he is not a Brother (unless inside he is) in the true sense but why quibble over a great song, even without a the great message. Best damn version I've heard. 

[mindstormd]

Louie CK's show Louie brought me to this song and I love it. Time to explore some more Stories.

[kronkitelin]

When music was music

[YoungXicano007]

[onlineinteraction]

My grandmother use to always play this son! It's nice to hear it again.

[bethnalgreeen]

I was 15 years old when this was released. Loved it then and still do. Brings back all those memories of the 70s. Ace times man.

[buckeyeschmave]

This guy sounds like a poor man's Rod Stewart!

[JurisArcane]

@buckeyeschmave

Rofl

That's because Rod Stewart was on higher quality drugs.

[Jotinha24]

Lida essa música; que saudades!!!

[jmscressey]

[UPTHElRS]

Worth every drop. :)~~

Take Care,

Love

Louie

This is a good version too.

[annefrankswoodndildo]
