That's what Jazz is about ! Noone plays for himself. They all play to others..this produces the stuff

Sometimes sadly I forget there was a time when Extremely talented Musicians walked the Earth & were appreciated.

The one and only beautiful Randy Crawford❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Street Life!!

Sometimes musitians and writers don't hear about the impact of their talent and hard work. This song helped me get out of the gutter in 1987 when I was ripping and running in the streets of "brick city" NWK . The lyrics are spot on and the music holds your attention so you can listen to the lyrics. Thank you Randy and the crusaders for helping me turn my life around.....

Randy Crawford's voice is one of the sweetest soul voices ever.

It just gets no better than this, Randy's voice is unique and Joe and the band are simply the best musicians on the planet. Bought this album on vinyl Christmas '79. Been with me ever since. Thank you!

2023: Dedicated to the Streetlife all around the world! Many blessings to Randy n her bands n friends❣️

Saw them in 2004. It was the last concert my wife attended before she started chemotherapy. I had always wanted to see them, it was a wish come true. Not all wishes come true and not all prayers are answered the way you them to be. She passed away and so every time I hear this song, I think of that night and that life. Thank you Crusaders for giving us so much great music and great memories! Randy, Joe, Ray and Wilton where great. RIP Candy, Joe and Wilton.

I've tried listening to some of the "covers." I can't, not with this. Randy Crawford is untouchable in this.

First let me start off that stage was filled with some of the most talented musicians on the planet . This song has always been special to me . I am retired police officer from Washington DC that worked the streets from the mid 70s to about the mid 90s. This song captured the emotions, energy, and the respect I had for those unfortunate enough that lived that life. When ever I hear this song it take me back to that time. For those that have passed on rest in peace in the arms of God.

This song almost bring tears because it reminds me when I was in my drug addiction and I was living that street life. By the grace of a power greater then me I'm no longer in that street life.

a tear runs down my face when she comes out of the intro and starts to sing the verse, what a great voice, that at first withheld energy, that emotion, what a performance, can it be so good, oh man yes. what a super groove.

I was driving home from work one day and then it suddenly hit me… the difference between music from the 60’s 70’s 80’s and now. The music doesn’t give joy or life. It doesn’t have joy or pep or original attitude. At least not much. Truly the golden era of music was over long ago

A masterpiece, Randi you areREAL! so exciting.
