Joe Sample passed away in Houston on Septermber 12, 2014. Mr. Sample reached the age of 75, and had played the piano since he was five years old. The general public primarily knew him from the track 'Streetlife' that he composed with Will Jennings, and performed with The Crusaders.
With some classmates he formed The Jazz Crusaders, which later became The Crusaders. In 1979 they released their worldwide hit Streetlife.
During his fifty-year career he has recorded 21 solo albums, and wrote music for several other musicians, playing alongside legends Miles Davis, Marvin Gaye, BB King and Joni Mitchell, to name but a few. But Joe Sample became and will forever be legend of his own. May he rest in peace, God bless and comfort his loved ones. - เพลง
Damn her voice is just exactly the same. Usually when people get older their voice goes. Jesus she sounds amazing.
This very song belongs in the United States Archives as one of our National Treasures. Simple as that. RIP Joe Sample. You are one of the G.O.A.T. jazz musicians.
@BaltimoreHop. Mr. Sample is one of our Musician GOAT's. Period. (No qualifiers needed).
How to sample that?
Amen
I totally agree. ❤❤❤❤ this song is legacy
this one of those songs soon as you hear the first beat you just feel something....gooood❤❤❤❤ thanks for the post two great legends
Listen to this stripped down version. It is absolute perfection. That voice. This keys. This song is still beautiful. Even in 2022. Timeless classic.
Stripped down is the essence?
2024 Still enjoying Randy Crawford and Joe sample . The first time I heard that voice, I was hooked. Personally, I have always preferred male vocalists. Randy Crawford, Anita Baker, Roberta Flack, and the young Chaka Khan of course Aretha, Dionne and Whitney. That’s it. But Randy Crawford is at the top of that female list. She is an underrated super talented lady.
@@SDC1949agreed!
Lack of recognition, totally underrated but shining forever in the sky of Jazz and music,in 2023 and forever !
Randy Crawford's voice is so distinct. It has unique beauty all its own. Beautiful music.
NO FANCY COSTUME, NO MAKE UP, NOT EXPLOSIVES, NO DANCERS, NO MACHANICS, JUST PURE RAW SOUL. THIS IS ABSOLUTLY HOW IT'S DONE FOLKS!!!
How lucky am I to have both of these beautiful ppl! Randy C came to my house in So Cal in the mid 80's she was a friend of my Aunt & she visited my parents & aunt! Joe Sample was also a friend of the family & I met him in 1991 in Mammoth Mountain where he was playing a small venue in the dead of winter.. It was -10 degrees! What memorable experiences to have met and hung out w/ these two talented ppl while in my early teens!
Je t envie félicitations ❤ après ça on peut mourir tranquille 🎉🎉🎉
R.I. P. Mr. Sample... you added beauty to this world.
Absolutely, cannot believe he's gone with Wilton too RIP.
Some singers such as Ms. Crawford are like a fine wine.... They just get better with age.
100% agree.....
totally agree
Maybe it's playback and you wouldn't be able to tell.
Her voice... Is exactly like soft caramel. This is the only way I can describe it... can't get enough of it.
Caramel is nice.... I do like caramel..... but I've never tasted caramel that good, not yet anyway. I'll keep searching.
@@danielmarshall4587 soft with a touch of sea salt.
Perfecto...un caramelo dulce ...
Randy Crawford sang the soundtrack to my life. Incredible woman and big love to Joe Sample who is missed but not forgotten.
Randy Crawford is one of the best vocalists ever......I will Never understand why she never got the recognition she deserved in the U.S. for her amazing musical contributions. But at least Europe and the rest of the world understand and appreciate her amazing talent.
Randy at her best! Her voice is just as soothing as it was 40 years ago. If not better. This lady has a voice of an angel. So smooth but yet so crisp & clean. It can’t get any better than that! I absolutely adore her!
Now kids this is what we call music and art... this woman and pianist are unbelievable..
Randy sounds just as good as she did when I first heard her in 1980......just a stunning voice and anyone out there who wants to learn must watch the master.
Randy’s voice sounds as smooth as liquid gold, just like it did 30 years ago. Keep doing it, Randy!
Maybe pre-recorded?
What a gift... so much talent...this is awesome. You're beautiful as ever Randy...RIP Joe.
RANDY CRAWFORD!
Still.....one of the most unique interpreters of song.
Anyone else sick and tired of what is called popular music?
Thank god that TH-cam is here so that I can get some visual to a song that has lasted over 30 years and lives to see what it was intended to be in the first place
Wow Joe Sample at his rampant best must be one of the greatest jazz pianist's in history and superbly joined by a voice the like of which we will never hear again. Jazz made in heaven.
Randy still doing it! After all these years a "Fine Wine" comes of age!!!!
Good gosh,,, after more than 100 listens,,, I still get the chills from her voice and vibrato in the intro to this classic,,, wowow!!!
Goosebumps all over the place
me too
Yup that is her song! I heard someone else sing it and didn't like it.
And Joe Pass still thrills me too. Great combination.its 2020, late September, and I searched for this.
All aboard ✅
Thank you. Randy for sharing God's gift that He gave to you. Your voice is still amazing.
The piano arrangement is simply awesome
the late GREAT Joe Sample
@@shaddoe6 I have some of his work on vinyl IT'S SOLID GOLD.
amazing
Smokin hot..... She still has it. This song came out in 1979, the year I graduated high school. I loved the way this song was used in the movie "Jackie Brown"......... Perfection.
I remember it being the opening song in Burt Reynold's movie Sharkey's Machine.
Henry Soto ....Oh wow, I forgot about that movie. That was a good movie. I’ll have to rewatch it. Looked it up and interesting fact, Doc Severenson the band leader from the Johnny Carson Tonight show was the one who orchestrated that song in the beginning credits of Sharkys Machine, and most of the album, but that version was never released.
I am addicted to this woman's voice
Randy Crawford is simply stunning! !! love here voice.
She's one of those very few singers who keeps her voice while maturing.
Her voice, the jazz piano man, the stand up bass, my God its perfection...
My goodness! over 30 years have gone by and she still has that great voice! Awesome! Great!
The beauty and emotions of Randy's voice moves me instantly decades later. Timeless and yet, moves me every time. Two legends and true master artisans.... Joe 🙏🏾🕊 🎹
ONE OF THE MOST AWESOME SONGSTRESS OF OUR TIME... ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT MAKES YOU SAY GOD IS GOOD...
Her voice is absolutely amazing!
That's an understatement😊 Her voice is ABSOLUTELY👌🏾FANTASTIC🤷♂️
Maybe pre-recorded?
Joe and Randy what a musical pair.
Totally vibing off one another
And we get the benefit of it!!! 😘😘
On concert Randy told, in the beginning she and Joe had a crush on each other, but they didn't know. Another reason to get rid of those religious nonsense. Imagine, how world could be, if we follow John Lennon's thoughts. Love will find its way and children won't be hurt. There are lots of facts, religion proofed wrong. Historically they are murderers.
randy crawford + joe sample = PURE GENIUS!!!!!!!!
I know that Joe is up in heaven and he's playing with some heavy players for the greatest audience ever!😎 "And if you keep it young your song is always sung"This song was the first song I played on 91.5 KUNV August 1985 in Las Vegas
I remember hearing this song when it opened the Burt Reynolds movie "Sharkey's Machine". What an absolute gem that crossed jazz/pop/soul/and rock! Great, great song and performance..............................
Sheer Perfection. ♥️ This never gets old. The first time I ever heard Joe Sample, I fell in love with his music. 💕 2024 and still loving “Street Life” ♥️
Beautiful woman, beautiful song and beautiful voice.
This woman's smile should win an award!
She makes it look so easy! What a voice... clear and powerful, nuanced and full of life... this chick has got it!
Wow, beautiful and effortless. One of the few artists who's retained real quality to their singing voice with age. Brilliant.
No words to describe the beauty & distinction of Randy's voice. Love how she takes her time to do it right🌷🎇
I've been a fan of Randy Crawford since before I knew her name. This is the song that introduced me to her soulful voice.
So happy to see she's still making people happy!
I got The Crusaders LP “Street Life” in 79 W/Randy Crawford! I fell in Love with Her then! She’s even better Now!!
I too heard that voice before knowing who she was. Beautiful sister.
Sample and son make a great team. RIP Joe, you'll live on through your music.
Randy Crawford and Joe Samples are such an amazing couple...I've always love these two artists..."Street life," is this artist's signature song...I love it love it...
My children have been instructed to assure this song is played at my celebration of life (funeral)... It epitomizes so much of the good and Ills of my life.... So it it written..So it shall be done!
she has a wonderful, unique voice. I wish there was more music like this today.
Luv Ms Randy Crawford, voice like rivers of liquid gold. Dear Mr. Joe Sample may you rest in eternal peace until the day we meet again in Paradise. Thank you for providing such beautiful music.
Wow, her voice is still so amazing. And the band is rocking it.
Her words are so sharp and crisp, no more better than this, what a delight to hear this as she is older it shows how a winner does it, man great, love her!!!!
I have to admit to being a crybaby because this song is beautiful and melancholy and done to beautiful soulful purity. Bless you Joe and Randy. Absolutely wonderful.
Heaven's Street Life just got sweeter! RIP Joe Sample February 1, 1939 - September 12, 2014
WOW! what a voice, it's magical. Love it!!!! this is the kind of music we need to be listening to today, umm hot damn, this is- like real talent happening here, daaa-uuuum she is great!!!! and she is doing it live, top that one!
ABSOLUTELY👌🏾
I am from germany, I can not even imagine what "street life" REALLY means. I never missunderstood the song. I thought it is not glorifying anything - it is relative straight. On the other hand I thing the people listen to the song because it is extremly good. Think about the big number of people in the world that do not understand a single word of the song - they love it! That is the music, the voice, the timbre and the mood that shines out of it right into yout heart...
love this jazzed out arrangement. I've been jamming along with Randy for hours now. Her tone is incredible, so effortless and always a wonderful smile. A truely beautiful person.
what a voice.....simply timeless class.....take a bow Randy..wow
Joe Sample Trio and Randy Crawford 'broke-it-down' for us.
For real!
God dang !! what a voice.... drums and bass superb also, not to mention of course the late great Mr Sample, who is no doubt teaching jazz piano in heaven as I type...
A trio and a voice - simplicity and pure artistry!
Brilliant introduction to Reynolds Sharkys Machine, a duet made in jazz heaven Joe and Randy wow.
The transition at 0:56 makes me feel something I can hardly explain. Masterpiece stuff!
I don't know that I've ever heard anything better, in terms of groove, soul and musicality.
RIP Joe Sample, one of the greatest "soft touches" that ever lived. He was like Count Basie; a minimalist, so deft. I had this on vinyl, was one of the few who bought it. Jazz is not popular in the USA. So tough to make a living here in jazz. One of the only true american art forms, more popular in Europe than here, bafflingly.
delicate pure powerful.this woman is an angel fallen from the sky.
I know right
I don't understand why someone would dislike this. It is perfect. It is missing the sax but still not a thumbs down!
Their lost. The lady is BAD. Love her still. Her music has soul and wisdom.
Still have this great LP from 1979.
R.I.P. Joe Sample
Hope ur kids appreciate the museum worthy collection. Great album.
this song hit me to the point of finding out street life for 10 years. sober now, I still cry.
Beautiful! Music is flawless beauty and sophistication.
they are beautiful, charming, elegant and sing very well
We here in Brazil love this band HSCC

What a combination... Mr Joe Sample and the wonderful Ms Randy Crawford.. !! so much love for them. R.I.P. to a wonderful human being, musician, composer etc. Mr Joe Sample.
She sounds GREAT!
Pure delight....She: No words. Joe: the most colorful stylings imaginable.
What an incredible feeling to hear her other-worldly voice here. To see her live would be a life-changing experience. Loved Randy since I first heard "Street Life" at the beginning of the movie "Sharky's Machine". Her version of "Who's Sorry Now" is devastating. What a blessing she is to all of us.
TomKaren94 The opening of "Sharky's Machine" is one all-time favorite openings of a film. Also very underrated Burt Reynolds film. But yes this song and that movie are inseparable in my mind
Luckily enough, I saw her twice, in London with Joe Sample Trio including this tour, I guess. Amazing live, the air filled with musicality - unforgettable.
I WAS SO VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE CAUGHT RANDY CRAWFORD ON LONG ISLAND, NEW YORK BACK AROUND 1993/4 WHERE SHE BACKED UP MY FAVORITE GUITARIST ON EARTH, LARRY CARLTON, AT "THE WESTBURY MUSIC FAIR"!~!~! WHAT AN AWESOME SHOW THAT WAS!~!~!~!~!~!~!
I've never seen her in concert. If I never have the chance, I'm going to be tres' pissed in the afterlife!
Continuous eargasm! The incomparable Joe Sample and Randy Crawford!!!
He touch so many people lives.
R.I.P Sad lose .

And who is 5 hat?
Yes Indeed..
Awesome !!!
God bless Randy Crawford !
Followed Randy Crawford since the 70s and I still love her
Just watching this video makes me feel relaxed !
Why is there no new talent creating this kind of music??? Randy and Joe some 30 or 40 years after the original and it still sounds like the album!!! Wow Randy just has the voice to melt your heart, so soulful and more current than todays female artists sound with that rich tone and not trying too hard to sound soulful! Some have it, some don't Randy has it enough for everyone to sound great. Glad I grew up with the original and have 40 years to appreciate the awesomeness of this tune x
Thank you, Joe. Music misses you!
Street life can only be done by Randy and Joe...it just adjusts to each decade ;
Wow!....superb....just superb.....RIP Joe x
I love Randy´s voice ;-)
Pure class and real talent.
Randy sound better now than the late 70s...your vocals are fluid and soft. I love it.
Yep
Cassiopeia Green n
Love some Joe he will always be remembered
Timothy Spikes Whenever the name of The Jazz Crusaders comes up, my first thoughts are Joe Sample and Wilton Felder!
Top notch musicians!😍
Happy memories of performing this at Middlesex in 1988. A great band and a great gig. You delivered and did me proud, Kirsty. Thanks to one and all (always).Halcyon days. 🌞👍🙏🇬🇧🌞
One song that has aged gracefully. Come on Joe...tickle those keys.
Proud to be human! thanks for your genius Joe! R.I.P
She sounds the absolute same. Wow
Randy's vibrato is supernatural. She sounds pitched!
This is my favourite live performance ever!
One of the most beautiful voices of all time..
Everytime I hear her voice I think of my Mother God rest her soul! She loved Randy Crawford and so do we
I absolutely love this arrangement and Randy Randy! Master class!
Different groove from the record, but her voice has held up well! I like this!
Richard Gerlach Nothing like the original record. “Electric” But I too enjoy this version...seeing the two of them on stage.
so different but saying her voice held up well is an understatement!!
Maybe pre-recorded, like the rest?
