I actually went to see Randy in concert in the Uk back in the early 90s ' she was absolutely awesome' I was sitting quite far back from the stage but her voice reached me as if I was standing next to her' it was such a beautiful voice that me and everyone around me were really moved by it - there was so much love in the place.
This song was a highlight' everyone got up and danced' an amazing night of my life.
Man I love this tune thanks to Randy and Quentin T. cause if it wasn't for the movie "Jackie Brown" I probabley never would have been turned on to this or "Across 110th ST." by Bobby Womack. Both tunes are awesome!
I grew up hearing my mom say "go head randy" while she cooked and cleaned the house and now that I'm grown.....and cleaning and cooking "GO HEAD RANDY"
I'm not a "Soul" fan on the whole - too much of it is just show: flashy licks for the sake of it; pulling "sex" faces to give the impression what you're singing's harder than it actually is; no more "soulful" than your average Rusty Cooley guitar solo...
... but this is just wonderful. Velvety tone; tasteful licks; wonderful timing... and the way she makes it look so effortless.
Joe is WHOOP'N those keys!! And the sound of a simple trio, with Randy's voice dancing on top of it, makes this song so nice! Thanks for uploading!! I keep returning!
She got a great voice. Not that typically 'Black'-voice like many other black artists got. The Pianoman also does a great job. All in all - Great Song by great artists. Greetings from Germany.
Heartthrobber! Kept listening ,cnt keep away my ears, and happy that i downloaded the entire album for free at DownloadMusic/./im , remove the slashes..
Yes, killer piano player, wot album is this version on?? She still great as she gets older, voice just as good.. Is there anyone else out there like her now? Brighty - Daysailer1
whats that gotta do with anything,, ? love from . appledecca. I 'm not into women sexually - but hey you must understand why she is... very much a lady ,,, seeking freedom with my fan in my hand. thanx. x
Absolutely spot on! Todays singers could do well to take lessons from this generation of 'real' singers. Fabulous voices and unforced and natural - bliss
Thats just a great song! But why they have removed ALMAZ from YouTube? These Guys are bastards! ALMAZ ist also a great song from Randy, but they have deleted it! Damn!
thanks for posting this. I've always loved this track, from the first time I heard it (about 20 years ago), this is a wonderful clip. Thank you so much.
If you have not seen the movie "Sharky's Machine," you need to see it. She sings this with a full orchestra behind her for the opening credits. The film starts with a camera on a helicopter over Atlanta and then the camera comes all the way down to the street and the cameraman gets off the chopper and follows Burt Reynolds going to make a drug buy. Incredible sequence.
Wow, gee whizz, I really like this alternate version. The only one I knew of until now was the one used in the Jackie Brown motion picture. Love both versions.
When I was a teen, I use to give props to records via my own awards. In 1979, I thought Street Life was the "Record of the Year" though I was a bit unsure of my own tastes. Hearing this interpretation for the 1st time showcases more of the record/song's greatness...and makes me feel I made the right choice ...even as a teen.
any1 know when this was recorded ? love this version, and i have to agree with the last post, usually u cant beat the orig but some how this one does, great stuff takes me back to my childhood .....
Incredible how her voice hasn't changed one bit after all these years. It still eminates out of her as if she was still in her youth. A true great and great version.
Totally agree Grabby. She doesn't look like she's enjoying it at all does she? It's like she's thinking "what the f*ck am I still doing here with this Sample guy?". It's like she's his personal musical slave or something. Still though, great performance, and one of my fave tunes of all time. And a nice version of it too.
very gut
