      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.

      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 🙏

    @kennethbrown3893 4 роки тому +5

    Amongst my list of the greatest, but saddest songs ever recorded. A blues feel in an R&B format - almost danceable. But an awful tale about so many people. Its almost like the Stones, "Sympathy for the Devil". Snap your fingers and clap, but with the poignant warning in the end "...I'll lay your soul to waste..." Sting sang a BS song (Roxanne) about being in love with a prostitute. He followed up almost apologetically with "Tomorrow We'll See" which provided the more prevalent realities of prostitution. I congratulate the Crusaders. Their gritty, chilling depiction of individuals stuck in "Street Life" probably saved quite a few people's lives.
