Street Life

Street Life, released in 1979 by The Crusaders, showcases the group's turn toward a polished jazz-pop and jazz-funk sound, blending groove-oriented disco rhythms with jazz improvisation. The title track features Randy Crawford on vocals and acts as a soulful, radio-friendly centerpiece, while the rest of the album pairs electric piano, warm saxophone lines, tight rhythm work and lush arrangements to bridge jazz, R&B and pop sensibilities.
