Released in 1979, "Street Life" was a chart-topping success by The Crusaders and featured the hit single "Street Life". The album peaked at #1 on the Billboard Pop albums chart and #18 on the Jazz chart. The album was included in the book '1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die'.
Although the Crusaders could not have known it at the time, their recording of "Street Life" (which features a memorable vocal by Randy Crawford) was a last hurrah for the 20-year old group. Their recordings of the next few years would decline in interest until the band gradually faded away in the '80s. However this particular set is well worth picking up for the 11-minute title cut and there is good playing by the three original members (Wilton Felder on tenor, soprano and electric bass, keyboardist Joe Sample and drummer Stix Hooper) along with guitarist Barry Finnerty; horn and string sections, plus additional guitarists are utilized on Sample's commercial but listenable arrangements.
