The Crusaders - Street Life (1979) [1984, Reissue] {Japan for USA}

"Street Life" is a studio album by the American jazz band The Crusaders. It was a Top 20 album on three Billboard charts and represents the peak of the band's commercial popularity. The title track, featuring singer Randy Crawford, was a Top 40 Pop single (#36) and became the group's most successful entry on the Soul chart (#17). It was #5 on the UK Singles Chart. "Street Life" also hit the disco chart, peaking at #75, and was re-recorded by Doc Severinsen with Crawford reprising her vocal for the opening sequence of the noir crime drama Sharky's Machine, directed by Burt Reynolds in 1981. This faster paced and more powerful version was also featured in Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown, released in 1997. The song is also featured in the video game Grand Theft Auto V on the in-game radio WorldWide FM as well as in the Bob's Burgers episode "Eggs for Days", and The Venture Bros. episode "The Venture Bros. & The Curse of the Haunted Problem". The cover photograph was taken at 409 N Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, California.
~Wikipedia
Although the Crusaders could not have known it at the time, their recording of "Street Life" (which features a memorable vocal by Randy Crawford) was a last hurrah for the 20-year old group. Their recordings of the next few years would decline in interest until the band gradually faded away in the '80s. However this particular set is well worth picking up for the 11-minute title cut and there is good playing by the three original members (Wilton Felder on tenor, soprano and electric bass, keyboardist Joe Sample and drummer Stix Hooper) along with guitarist Barry Finnerty; horn and string sections, plus additional guitarists are utilized on Sample's commercial but listenable arrangements.
