"Brother Louie" was a controversial song about an interracial love affair. The title was written and sung by Errol Brown of the group Hot Chocolate and was a top 10 chart hit for the band in 1973, produced by Mickie Most.
The song was covered by an American band called Stories (featuring singer Ian Lloyd), about six months after Hot Chocolate's UK hit, and the Stories version made number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the USA.
Recently, the song has been covered by the North Korean electronic orchestra, the Pochonbo Electronic Ensemble, and by Bon Jovi.
