  • very gut

  • du bist di beste singerin

  • This vid just is proof that some of us are pros and a few of us actually know what we're doing and only such should do it!

  • Realmente excepcionales los dos en esta versión de street life. Genial interpretación de Randy Crawford

  • Abbey... Road..... Studios...in... London

    Now... who recorded all their albums there ?

    - - -

    Randy Crawford.... the genius !!

  • Nobody does it like Joe Sample!!

  • Did Randy perform this with the Crusaders? I have that 12" original single.

  • THAT FOCKING KEYBOARD PLAYER DAMMMMM!

  • Saw this lady live , had little stage personality , but she must have one of the best voices in the business

  • This is a great mix. Randy Crawford and The Jazz Crusaders, DAMN is all I can say!

    She sang the song with no effort, just as smooth as the first time. Thank You!

  • Beautiful Voice *o*

  • What a gift. So beautiful.

  • 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.

  • This joint is craaazyy! 

  • amazing....

  • 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 want this version! Is there a CD of this actual recording??? Someone PLEASE TELL ME!

  • Quelle voix, quel talent, en plus de Joe Sample! bravo!

  • 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"

  • @Gbeans10 Me too!

  • Came here for the song and got a performance instead, replete with Joe Sample, My me! What a windfall!

    --Æ.

  • @AckeeEater Me Too!!!

  • great

  • semplicemente fantastica ...thanks Randy from Italy!!!

  • 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.

  • Damn...i love her Voice soooo mutch :-)

  • yeah baby ......

  • 12 FOOLS!!!!!

  • Brilliant! I got goosebumps.

  • I dunno which version I like better:  This one, or the slightly faster tempo Disco one.

    DAYyum, Joe Sample da man !!

  • 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!

  • Just Fab!! Thanks

  • mème toute seule au chant elle décrocherait la lune et le soleil :steeve mc coy de talence

  • 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.

  • QUALITY!!!!!

  • dam dam dam dam dam how good is she

  • So true! She's still go it

  • goose bump time!!!

  • awsome vocalist

  • amazing classic!

  • spettacolare!!!!

  • Mi fa impazzire!

  • Randy Crawford has the voice of an angel-absolutely no effort. Beautiful

  • absolute quality

  • i found her being trying to think of her name all week.

    yes yes yes!

  • I am always AMAZED when I hear her!

    My parents introduced me to her music when I was little and I'm so glad they did!

  • Her voice blows me away; what talent, what a gift, I am so thankful she shared it with us.

  • 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.

    Big up to Randy.

  • rick ross re-did this song. both r great!!!!!

  • 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.

  • great version, love that piano

  • Love that lady!

  • superbe voix,me rappelle 1 ami perdu dedié a nasser

  • GAY?! Diese Frau ist eine der besten Sängerinnen auf diesem Planeten!!!

  • This is the best version.. :) Great song!

  • Absolutely!

  • What a voice...still looking for 'Endlessley'???..post...if you have it?..

  • WOW this is pure smooth out old-school Jazz I love it.

  • I love this song. That amazing voice. Brings back memories of one of the few Burt Reynolds films I liked Sharkey's Machine.

  • This one is the best thing as I discovered it in Jacky Vriwn The nmovie

  • Love IT!

  • Beautiful ! Thks

  • großartig!

  • Viva Randy Corwford..Joselo Thomassiny...Cesare Martin Vallieri...Me...Me

  • First time I heard her, when I was a little boy, I became to love black voices. finally i became a blues singer...

  • 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.

  • plese dont take this off !!!! I LOVE IT ......from ( SOL-TREK )

  • I love this song

  • the song is a perfect combination of joy and tradgedy

  • the song is a perfect combination of joy and tradgedy

  • 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.

  • she doesnt look like she's enjoying it, u know...she looked sad here

  • I love joe sample....

  • she's wonderful,the music is wonderful,I love Randy!!

  • I love that lady. Seen her in concert a few times and she is THE BEST!!! Love you

    Miss Crawford.

  • rick ross re-did this song.

    both r great!!!!!

  • i saw Randy Crawford and Joe Sample performanc
