The beast herself

To be able to go back in time and see this live!!❤

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 ❤

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.

I LOVE Randy's SLOOOOW, AND FAST movements from 8:59 to 9:09.

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.

Timeless. Man, it never gets old.

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.

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

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!

As soon as I heard her sing ‘I still hang around’ a chill went down my spine. Great live version 1980

My second jazz lp record @ 1979 at age 18. Still gives me goosepimples till date. Ageless music.

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 🙏

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.

Randi Crawford I've Been Following Her For Over 40Yrs. Great Person And Great Entertainer

I saw them perform this number in Chicago around the same year. What a class act they are! Randy is one of a kind!

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.

Oh my god!!! What a voice.

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!

Beautiful song she did an excellent job the band is awesome 👌

That introduction is magic, then her voice and presence brings an angelical presence. Beautiful 😍 What a sensuality in her moves

Joe Sample and Lonnie LIston Smith two of my favorite keyboardist

randy crawford c so fine,never get tired of this song

Mrs Randy Crawford. 🌹👏👏👏

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 .

The Incomparable One and ONLY Randy🌹

wow! what a performance; impeccable phrasing, timing and pure unadulterated soul!

I don’t know why,but when I see Wilton Felder dancing and conducting,I’m sooo happy for him man…

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

This song is incredible, for the message and for everything else!

One of my all time favorite songs, jazz group, and vocalist

wesome version!!! wonderful era!!! for those who have "lived" the night!!!😳😊😄

i sat front row dead center at The Hammersmith Odean gig also in 1980 amazing gig every moment has flooded back

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.

My birth year. The streets don't love no one. 💕

This is what you call top music and musicians. Not like today with all the gagets to make them sound good. Lv from uk

Some songs take you back to the days you remember in the 80s, and this is definitely one of them.

Musik für die Ewigkeit!

What a Beautiful Voice she has very Unique🥰

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 🗼.

Love this version too. I've heard so many covers that can't touch this. Wilton Felder!!

Miss Randy Crawford should be named an American jazz treasure!

... tears and goosebumps!

Extraordinaire

I could literally listen to this Song all 🌙 night long !! 👌 Awesome Sauce 👌 👏 👍

timeless music! a masterpiece in the highest order.

That was absolutely amazing👏👏👏

One of the Best Ever, Thanks to RANDY. 💞

Randy in addition to the best singing in the world she looks and moves divinely!!!

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 ....

Amazing bass playing! All the parts are amazing. Underrated band.

That voice is fantastic. Formidable. Loved. Music. Good. Xo

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 brings so many happy memories of good times and a very happy summer spent on the beach and a boyfriend called Andrew

Real music. Love is in the air

Great job Randy 👍👍👍

昔大好きだった曲。数十年ぶりにこのライブ映像見て、改めてCOOL！

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.

@@toddbrittain1060 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

SO L OVE THIS SONG♥

These are my most favorite people of all time

Randy la Amo

Randy, hermosa voz, el grupo maravilloso, te ves hermosa! Gracias

Randy performed the same night there with her own band. Two days later, in the same hall, Weather Report with Jaco on bass...those were the days.

La mejor versión de Street Life, magnifica

pure joy

her voice is blessed...shes blessed....for shure...unique

The ORIGINAL LINEUP JOE SAMPLE, WILTON FELTON, AND THE & ONLY STYX HOOPER ON DRUMS !!! Classic footage this track was a global HIT!!!

Makes me applaud!

That keyboard player & sax player - wow!

Elle est intemporelle, talent et beauté , une dame avec une majuscule ❤

This was exceptional. Randi, Randy, Randee Crawford. The GREAT Joe Sample. Wow.

Just Wow! The real version>>>>Killer!

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.

damn that sister can sing!

Hoje 11/05/24 vou ficar a noite toda ouvindo Randy maravilhosa.
