I am in uk ,77 years old and an average musician. In 79 someone loaned me the Crusaders album with Randy, I was blown away with Street Life!!!!!!! Now in 2024 I find the live version on UA-cam. Its giving me great memories and tears of joy. The song, the arrangement, musicanship and Randy's delivery is just outstanding what else can I say. Thanks for posting.
Indeed. One of the greatest singers of all time. Happy they appreciate her in Europe. Here in The Netherlands you can still buy many of her records/cd's in store, without having to order them online.
Saw/heard this collaboration between Randy and the Crusaders 4 times in Europe, in various Jazz festivals. Miss Crawford is totally recognized as a true Jazz performer ❤
I was the same age I was stationed in Germany and still playing in the streets. This song often made me reflect on those rainy nights doing what I had to do in the city.🕺🏾💃🏾
Amazing version of this song.The intro with the Wilton fielder sax solo and then Randy starts singing "I still hang around is probably the finest 60 seconds of music I have ever heard.It just blows me away.
If I ever had to put my finger on a group of truly 100% tight musicians it’s Randy and the crusaders man these guys could get a corpse moving and the skill man the bass keyboards sax lead guitar are all the absolute quill.
Remember hearing this for the first time, exactly 40 years ago this month in August 1979. It was in a club- when the sax started playing and then Randy began to sing EVERYONE froze! No one knew who it was! Created an amazing buzz in the place!
We are so lucky Randy Crawford performed here in our country the Philippines her very 1st concert Dec. 25, 1988 at the Ultra (now Phil Sport Arena) and I've watched it. She's so Amazing!
2022 has come and it's already 7th day. This is the very first UA-cam video that hit and moved me so far in 2022. REAL R.E.A.L. MUSIC! Would these days ever come back in my lifetime? So beautiful and classy!
No unfortunately. The market has shifted to electronic music. Even a good song of this quality will probably just be ignored by these new generations or dismissed as their grandpa's music, sadly. But there's hope. Musical instruments have gotten cheaper and hopefully the more the kids learn about musical instruments the more will appreciate real music and make more played music, not electronics.
this is no disco but soul...make the same mistake, this was in the bars who mostly named it with disco behind. I was 15 in 1980...25 in 1990, the best years in music, with gems from earlier,later so many kinda music , the cd time,glad we go back again to vinyl albums,waving from Best , close way up Eindhoven 10km.
Randy Crawford & The Crusaders - Street Life. Randy Crawford has the most sensuous voice and she puts such passion in this song. She knows just exactly what an audience expect from her and she delivers a song from her soul. The Saxophone is such a necessary musical instrument 🎷 for this song. This has a funky, jazzy influence which is most definitely the kind of music I love ❤️ to listen to. The video photography is really good as it shows the performers. I absolutely love this song it’s a really well enacted type of music. Well done, Randy and all the Crusaders especially the Saxophone player. Thank You 🙏
I was a freshman Texas Southern Univ, (same college they attended) when I heard this song for the very first time,,, Street Life is about their history,,, still here in 2021,,,,RIP fellas
The concert was on 16 october 1980 in the Jaap Edenhal. Randy Crawford sang only one song with The Crusaders: Streetlife. The song was broadcast 6 days later the 22d of october on the Countdown show.
3 of the originals , gone in less then a year and a half , too too sad , they will be missed forever , long live wayne , joe , and wilton, in our hearts , forever .
Thank you those compliments keep your clothes on and stop selling your body parts or exposing them. I love their ability to perform and maintaining Professional demeanor is a Bonus!😊😅🎉🎉❤
My young wife Bridgette and I were on holiday from Paris to Netherlands in 1980. Nether one of us spoke English well , but unforgettable night . André Cartier 🗼.
It is absolutely impossible to replicate the explosive sound that was made in the studio on a live stage .... NEVERTHELESS, I SO WISH I had been there on this night to see Randi's incredible performance. OH, where is the BRASS ?!?!? (haaaa) -- also Jackie Brown is hands down the best Tarrantino film I've ever seen ....
Great to see and hear them live at their best! I first heard this song flying back to Buenos Aires from Mexico D.F. in 1981... They blew my head off! Randy's voice, Wilton's solo... I always wanted to play and sound like him. Never could... One of my favorite songs. Thanks for uploading, and eternal thanks to all Crusaders for their outstanding talent and music.
This is the best live version that I have seen of "Street Life". Great to see Nesbert "Stix" Hooper, one of the 4 original "Jazz Crusaders", along with Joe Sample and Wilton Felder. Too bad Wayne Henderson was not there to make it complete.
@@ToddBrittain1963 Agree. The original fat bass groove was not so busy as this. Everybody wanted to be Jaco for a while. The other thing is Stix is slightly better here than on the studio version where he just runs away with the tempo.
The Crusaders at the pinnacle of their success. I played this cassette over and over until it exploded my Blapunk tape deck in my 1977 vw beetle convertible allegedly the last one in Los Angeles according to the sales guy at Volkswagen Los Angeles.
Randi Crawford I've Been Following Her For Over 40Yrs. Great Person And Great Entertainer
What a voice!
The beast herself
Rest in peace, Wilton Felder, an amazing musician

Estoy totalmente de acuerdo con usted. Es una genial interpretación.

Know the feeling
Plus one! ♫♪♫
70 and this song brings back lots of memories.
Randy Crawford never got the recognition that she deserved! Excellent performance!!!
Indeed. One of the greatest singers of all time. Happy they appreciate her in Europe. Here in The Netherlands you can still buy many of her records/cd's in store, without having to order them online.
Oh she got it, with the right people ;-)
The truly great ones seldom do get their due.

My second jazz lp record @ 1979 at age 18. Still gives me goosepimples till date. Ageless music.
I was the same age I was stationed in Germany and still playing in the streets. This song often made me reflect on those rainy nights doing what I had to do in the city.🕺🏾💃🏾
CLASSIC.
Amazing version of this song.The intro with the Wilton fielder sax solo and then Randy starts singing "I still hang around is probably the finest 60 seconds of music I have ever heard.It just blows me away.
Great song one of my favorite the song speaks for it self
joe needs to be playing the selmer saxophone
YES, Knocks it out of the PARK 😊😅🎉🎉❤❤!
Man she's got about the sweetest voices I've ever heard 👍
Where would this works be without these beautiful black musicians and singers. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
If I ever had to put my finger on a group of truly 100% tight musicians it’s Randy and the crusaders man these guys could get a corpse moving and the skill man the bass keyboards sax lead guitar are all the absolute quill.
She is such a radiant performer.. And what a voice!!
When music was music. Man I miss this era. Music that moves the soul. Randy was also extremely beautiful. Never knew how fine she was back then.
Well said
The perfect voice for this song, I love me some Randy Crawford
Greatful. To experience thise. Tymes..
As soon as I heard her sing ‘I still hang around’ a chill went down my spine. Great live version 1980
No, Rudey, It first starts with the sax solo, than 'I still hang around' lol.
This Does not get any Better 😊😅🎉🎉❤!
RIP Joe Sample - thanks for all your fantastic music!

Was für ein Verlust. 😔😔😕😕

Listen 👂 up it is now February 3023 and we need this type of creative musicians to heal our lives!

Still listening over 46 years.
Wonderful music.
It was 1979, I was 15, a rock and prog rock fan...I hated disco, but then, in a disco, I heard this...This is so good...
this is no disco but soul...make the same mistake, this was in the bars who mostly named it with disco behind. I was 15 in 1980...25 in 1990, the best years in music, with gems from earlier,later so many kinda music , the cd time,glad we go back again to vinyl albums,waving from Best , close way up Eindhoven 10km.
I saw them perform this number in Chicago around the same year. What a class act they are! Randy is one of a kind!
Wilton Felder was a very underrated tenor man .He could play it all .RIP
Interesting fact . . Wilton Felder played bass on ‘I want you back’ by the Jackson 5. and ooooh yeah his sax playing, he could solo forever,
P E A C E
You are totaly right !!!
Oh my god!!! What a voice.

That introduction is magic, then her voice and presence brings an angelical presence. Beautiful 😍

Joe Sample and Lonnie LIston Smith two of my favorite keyboardist
3 of the originals , gone in less then a year and a half , too too sad , they will be missed forever , long live wayne , joe , and wilton, in our hearts , forever .
Some songs take you back to the days you remember in the 80s, and this is definitely one of them.
Musik für die Ewigkeit!
One of my all time favorite songs, jazz group, and vocalist
no booty shaking dress elegant and just singing like a professional performer what a band what a lady
Thank you those compliments keep your clothes on and stop selling your body parts or exposing them. I love their ability to perform and maintaining Professional demeanor is a Bonus!😊😅🎉🎉❤

Wilton Felder's bright clean sax tone. Always a great talent and sound. Great live clip.

Some of the best music I 've ever heard(first time, many years ago), thanks!

Magical song and singer/band
It is absolutely impossible to replicate the explosive sound that was made in the studio on a live stage .... NEVERTHELESS, I SO WISH I had been there on this night to see Randi's incredible performance. OH, where is the BRASS ?!?!?

Only Randy My Girl could sing this song I love her Nobody else could sing this song like her
My birth year. The streets don't love no one. 💕
Great to see and hear them live at their best! I first heard this song flying back to Buenos Aires from Mexico D.F. in 1981... They blew my head off! Randy's voice, Wilton's solo... I always wanted to play and sound like him. Never could... One of my favorite songs. Thanks for uploading, and eternal thanks to all Crusaders for their outstanding talent and music.
Amazing bass playing! All the parts are amazing. Underrated band.
I started listening to her 1975 wow still sounding good blessxxx .
I don’t know why,but when I see Wilton Felder dancing and conducting,I’m sooo happy for him man…
One of the Best Ever, Thanks to RANDY. 💞
Absolute perfection
no me canso en escuchar esta cancion, es una joya la voz de Randy y los crusaders jamas decepcionaron, amo esta musica!!!!
This brings so many happy memories of good times and a very happy summer spent on the beach and a boyfriend called Andrew
Ich wäre jetzt genau aud diesen Konzert um die Atmosphäre aufzusaugen. Traumhafte Musik ☮️🖖🇩🇪🖖☮️
a Treat for the ears and the eyes!!!!
Feel good song from long ago! Crusaders are funky jazz cool 😎 👍
Hoje 11/05/24 vou ficar a noite toda ouvindo Randy maravilhosa.
That was absolutely amazing👏👏👏
This is the best live version that I have seen of "Street Life". Great to see Nesbert "Stix" Hooper, one of the 4 original "Jazz Crusaders", along with Joe Sample and Wilton Felder. Too bad Wayne Henderson was not there to make it complete.
William, you think so? I think the bass-player is trying too much to sound like Jaco Pastorius and he just loses the groove completely...sigh
WILLIAM SQUIRE .,'
@@ToddBrittain1963 Agree. The original fat bass groove was not so busy as this. Everybody wanted to be Jaco for a while. The other thing is Stix is slightly better here than on the studio version where he just runs away with the tempo.
wow what an amazing voice
Real music. Love is in the air
her voice is blessed...shes blessed....for shure...unique
That keyboard player & sax player - wow!
Randy, hermosa voz, el grupo maravilloso, te ves hermosa! Gracias
The Crusaders at the pinnacle of their success. I played this cassette over and over until it exploded my Blapunk tape deck in my 1977 vw beetle convertible allegedly the last one in Los Angeles according to the sales guy at Volkswagen Los Angeles.
pure joy
Great job Randy 👍👍👍
Wow that is a super good live version of Street Life
uh-huh. street life is a 24/7 gig .
That's a steady bass right there holding it all together
The ORIGINAL LINEUP JOE SAMPLE, WILTON FELTON, AND THE & ONLY STYX HOOPER ON DRUMS !!! Classic footage this track was a global HIT!!!
