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.
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.
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 ❤
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.
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!😊😅🎉🎉❤
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.
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!
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 .
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!
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.
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.
2022 has come and it's already 7th day. This is the very first TH-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!
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
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 ....
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 🗼.
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.
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.

What a voice!
The beast herself
Rest in peace, Wilton Felder, an amazing musician
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.

I agree. She was incredible and went on for years
I LOVE Randy's SLOOOOW, AND FAST movements from 8:59 to 9:09.
To be able to go back in time and see this live!!❤
Beautiful bass lines.
yeah, this thing at the end of each bar "be-toop-poom" 😂
Man she's got about the sweetest voices I've ever heard 👍
Sweet but powerful voice as well !!so talented
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.
it's 2020 and i'm still giving the Crusaders with Randy Crawford a standing ovation.
Good is timeless ❣️
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 ❤

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 😊😅🎉🎉❤❤!
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
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 😊😅🎉🎉❤!
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!😊😅🎉🎉❤
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!
Joe Sample and Lonnie LIston Smith two of my favorite keyboardist
randy crawford c so fine,never get tired of this song
I don’t know why,but when I see Wilton Felder dancing and conducting,I’m sooo happy for him man…
The Incomparable One and ONLY Randy🌹
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!
RIP Joe Sample - thanks for all your fantastic music!

Not forgetting the SUPER talented Wilton Felder...
Was für ein Verlust. 😔😔😕😕

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

What a Beautiful Voice she has very Unique🥰
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 .

Wow amazing
My birth year. The streets don't love no one. 💕
That introduction is magic, then her voice and presence brings an angelical presence. Beautiful 😍
What a sensuality in her moves
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

Beautiful song she did an excellent job the band is awesome 👌
One of my all time favorite songs, jazz group, and vocalist

a Treat for the ears and the eyes!!!!
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 ORIGINAL LINEUP JOE SAMPLE, WILTON FELTON, AND THE & ONLY STYX HOOPER ON DRUMS !!! Classic footage this track was a global HIT!!!
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 ....
Some songs take you back to the days you remember in the 80s, and this is definitely one of them.
Love this version too. I've heard so many covers that can't touch this. Wilton Felder!!
Randy in addition to the best singing in the world she looks and moves divinely!!!
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 🗼.
Europeans have loved jazz for eons and appreciate talent. Our black musicians were mostly welcomed with open arms
Magical song and singer/band
That Sax!!!👍👍👍🎉🎊🍻
I could literally listen to this Song all 🌙 night long !! 👌 Awesome Sauce 👌 👏 👍
Wilton Felder's bright clean sax tone. Always a great talent and sound. Great live clip.
This brings so many happy memories of good times and a very happy summer spent on the beach and a boyfriend called Andrew
That voice is fantastic. Formidable. Loved. Music. Good. Xo
Great job Randy 👍👍👍
EVERYBODY WAS ON POINT ON THAT NIGHT,THANKS FOR THE POST.
MY FAVORITE FEMALE VOCALIST. HER VOICE IS LIKE VELVET.
wow what an amazing voice
Some of the best music I 've ever heard(first time, many years ago), thanks!
Same with me
Real music. Love is in the air
This song is incredible, for the message and for everything else!
That's a steady bass right there holding it all together
Wow that is a super good live version of Street Life
uh-huh. street life is a 24/7 gig .
Just Wow! The real version>>>>Killer!
Hoje 11/05/24 vou ficar a noite toda ouvindo Randy maravilhosa.
Elle est intemporelle, talent et beauté , une dame avec une majuscule ❤
terrific song and performance - an all-time classic
Amazing bass playing! All the parts are amazing. Underrated band.
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！
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.
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 .,'
@@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.
These are my most favorite people of all time
This was exceptional. Randi, Randy, Randee Crawford. The GREAT Joe Sample. Wow.
damn that sister can sing!
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.
Randy la Amo
That keyboard player & sax player - wow!
her voice is blessed...shes blessed....for shure...unique
La mejor versión de Street Life, magnifica
no me canso en escuchar esta cancion, es una joya la voz de Randy y los crusaders jamas decepcionaron, amo esta musica!!!!
