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.
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
Damn her voice is just exactly the same. Usually when people get older their voice goes. Jesus she sounds amazing.
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!
Saw them at Omni Grove Park in 10 yrs. ago. 🎉
Randy Crawford sang the soundtrack to my life. Incredible woman and big love to Joe Sample who is missed but not forgotten.
R.I. P. Mr. Sample... you added beauty to this world.
Absolutely, cannot believe he's gone with Wilton too RIP.
Lack of recognition, totally underrated but shining forever in the sky of Jazz and music,in 2023 and forever !
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 ...
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.
Randy Crawford's voice is so distinct. It has unique beauty all its own. Beautiful music.
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!
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 🎉🎉🎉
NO FANCY COSTUME, NO MAKE UP, NOT EXPLOSIVES, NO DANCERS, NO MACHANICS, JUST PURE RAW SOUL. THIS IS ABSOLUTLY HOW IT'S DONE FOLKS!!!
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 Crawford is simply stunning! !! love here voice.
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 ✅
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.
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.
If your foot's not tapping, or your head wasn't bobbing, please, call 911, and get to the hospital. That jam was just so tasty!
Haha ! Wasn't it Glenn ! With ya,,, tasty ...:)
agreed!!!! not tappin your foot, not snappin your finger, not clappin', not shifting your shoulders.....hope your will is in order! lol
Does swaying your torso to the rhythm count? :-)
Glenn R, I was tapping and bobbing and ran into your comment - needless to say, I was roaring with loud
rhythmic laughter. Best part is that I don't have to dial 911 - I wear one of those emergency call buttons and
the troops would be on their way. Thanks for a good laugh and yes, I'm really enjoying this.
Old Jazzy え
Randy still doing it! After all these years a "Fine Wine" comes of age!!!!
Randy’s voice sounds as smooth as liquid gold, just like it did 30 years ago. Keep doing it, Randy!
Maybe pre-recorded?
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...
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.
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
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?
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..............................
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
She's one of those very few singers who keeps her voice while maturing.
One song that has aged gracefully. Come on Joe...tickle those keys.
42. Wow! Is this hating season. The lady sounds the same if not better. She is flawlessly modulating her notes leading the band. What else do you want. If you choose not to like something do that because it's bad. This is not that.
andre caldwell thank U!!!
+andre caldwell Her voice is astonishing
Yes, Yes I sing but this is sangin'!!!
This sweet & sexsy it's all about the flow. ....a voice so ,..fabulous. ...if you can... don't say a word just listen
Stanley Johnson i'm 21 and there is nobody around like or them...NOPE no one!!!
What a gift... so much talent...this is awesome. You're beautiful as ever Randy...RIP Joe.
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 🙏🏾🕊 🎹
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 like this arrange better than the studio version. Goose bump inducer.
It seems she, ( as well as her voice ) hasn't changed
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.
Heaven's Street Life just got sweeter! RIP Joe Sample February 1, 1939 - September 12, 2014
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.
The transition at 0:56 makes me feel something I can hardly explain. Masterpiece stuff!
She makes it look so easy! What a voice... clear and powerful, nuanced and full of life... this chick has got it!
Beautiful! Music is flawless beauty and sophistication.
Dear, Whoeverpostedthisvideo
Thank you for posting this great example of music, and great artistry.
Sincerly
A 21 Y.O. who's not drugged up on the stupid techogarbage people call music.
She sounds the absolute same. Wow
IF RANDY CRAWFORD WAS A WINE ...PRICELESS MAAM XX
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!
Thank you. Randy for sharing God's gift that He gave to you. Your voice is still amazing.
Christ her voice hasn't changed a bit!!!
I know right
Si Smith , Better
I absolutely love this arrangement and Randy Randy! Master class!
Listening to this brings tears to my eyes but my heart is smiling! I had the chance to play as one of his keyboardist are the Baked Potato (Pasadena California) 1997. I was honored to be one of his protégés!
She has such a beautiful warm voice
Wow that is amazing
Wayne Fletcher Tears right now
I'm glad I found this amazing video in 2018. I heard the original version. What an amazing song.
Proud to be human! thanks for your genius Joe! R.I.P
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!
Wow, beautiful and effortless. One of the few artists who's retained real quality to their singing voice with age. Brilliant.
delicate pure powerful.this woman is an angel fallen from the sky.
I know right
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.
Gorgeous live interpretation of a great song. Deceptively difficult to sing and Randy Crawford is in charge of every note. She is clearly a lady who has looked after her instrument very well.
Randy sound better now than the late 70s...your vocals are fluid and soft. I love it.
Yep
Cassiopeia Green n
Wow...3rd time listening to this back 2 back. This music gives my life. I'm in a creative mood now.
Ive listened to this about 10000000 times
+jjmaster0113productions --Then you need to get a (street) life, dude, and do something else for a change... :)
+tunefultony johnson Why its a good song? I do have a life and a street life soooo.
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 RUclips 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 WHAT A GIFT..THANK YOU MISS RANDY CRAWFORD🎵🎵🎵
Still have this great LP from 1979.
R.I.P. Joe Sample
Hope ur kids appreciate the museum worthy collection. Great album.
Her voice, the jazz piano man, the stand up bass, my God its perfection...
Sample and son make a great team. RIP Joe, you'll live on through your music.
My group played this song, my piano style was somewhat like Joe's.
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...
Who litsing in Oct 2020 what a beautiful voice born to be a singer 🥰
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!😍
she has a wonderful, unique voice. I wish there was more music like this today.
Thank you, Joe. Music misses you!
52 thumbs down????? WHY!!!??? What is wrong with you people? The brilliant Joe Sample & Randy Crawford, and this phenomenal band. Can't help but think about "Sharkys Machine" & Burt walking the tracks on that cold Atlanta morning. Best movie opening ever!
They dead!
I just added my thoughts on this song & saw your comments.Your'e right on my man!
Her voice is absolutely amazing!
That's an understatement😊 Her voice is ABSOLUTELY👌🏾FANTASTIC🤷♂️
Maybe pre-recorded?
I played this song maybe a 1000 times in my car on cassette - it was featured in a Burt Reynolds movie - Sharkey's Machine. Love Joe Sample and of course Randy Crawford. Fantastic work !
Sharkey's Machine...that's where I first heard this song...LOVED IT ever since!
Beautiful woman, beautiful song and beautiful voice.
I COULD PUT THIS ON REPEAT♥♥♥♥
Natalie Harris ,Dig
Howwww
I did!
@Natalie Harris-I do put this on loop for a good hour! Still never enough!
Pure class and real talent.

We here in Brazil love this band HSCC
they play songs made and are successful here
Brilliant introduction to Reynolds Sharkys Machine, a duet made in jazz heaven Joe and Randy wow.
" Vida de calle ".
Todavía me queda
Ni perdido, ni encontrado
Escucho el sonido solitario
De la música en la noche
Las noches siempre son brillantes
Eso es todo lo que me queda, sí ...
Vivo la vida en la calle,
porque no hay ningún lugar donde pueda ir
La vida en la calle, es la única vida que conozco
La vida en la calle, y hay mil cartas para jugar
Vida callejera, hasta que juegas tu lejana vida.
Dejas que la gente vea
Justo a quien quieres ser
Y cada noche brillas
Como una superestrella
Así es como se juega la vida
Una mascarada de diez centavos
Te vistes, caminas, hablas
Eres quien crees que eres.
Vida en la calle, puedes huir del tiempo
Vida en la calle, por un centavo
o una moneda de diez centavos
La vida en la calle ...
pero será mejor que no envejezcas
La vida en la calle, o sentirás frío.
Siempre hay amor en venta
Un adulto de cuento de hadas
Un prince azul siempre sonríente
Detrás de una cuchara de plata
Y si lo mantienes joven
Tu canción siempre se cantará
Su amor te pagará tu camino
Debajo de la luna plateada.
La vida en la calle, la vida en la calle,
la vida en la calle, la vida callejera
Hmm, oh, si.
Vivo la vida en la calle,
porque no hay ningún lugar donde pueda ir
La vida en la calle, es la única vida que conozco
La vida en la calle, y hay mil cartas para jugar
La vida en la calle, hasta que te juegas tu lejana vida
¡Oh!.
La vida en la calle, la vida en la calle,
la vida en la calle, la vida en la calle ...
Hmm, oh, si.
Vivo la vida en la calle,
porque no hay ningún lugar donde pueda ir
La vida en la calle, es la única vida que conozco
La vida en la calle, y hay mil cartas para jugar
Vida callejera, hasta que te juegas tu lejana vida.
Dejas que la gente vea
Justo a quien quieres ser
Y cada noche brillas
Como una superestrella
Así es como se juega la vida
Una mascarada de diez centavos
Te vistes, caminas, hablas
Eres quien crees que eres.
Vida en la calle, pudiendo huir del tiempo
Vida en la calle, por un centavo
o una moneda de diez centavos
La vida en la calle ...
pero será mejor que no envejezcas
La vida en la calle, o sentirás frío.
Siempre hay amor en venta
Un adulto de cuento de hadas
Un prince azul siempre sonríente
Detrás de una cuchara de plata
Y si lo mantienes joven
Tu canción siempre se cantará
Su amor te pagará tu camino
Debajo de la luna plateada.
La vida en la calle, la vida en la calle,
la vida en la calle, la vida en la calle ...
La vida en la calle, juego la vida en la calle,
vida en la calle, sí, oh vida callejera ...
Hmm, ooh, oh, sí, oh ...
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.
My goodness! over 30 years have gone by and she still has that great voice! Awesome! Great!
She sounds GREAT!
Jazzy baby cool
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.
Aku suka banget dengan "Improvisasi" ini (mengenang saat siaran dulu)...
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...
absolutely incredible, the piano playing the singing all executed at the highest level of perfection,, every now and then you gotta remind people with home cooking tastes like, I hate all the microwave music I hear on the radio today
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.
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
Awesome! This song gives me life!!!
same here/ Even in 2022.
Wow, her voice is still so amazing. And the band is rocking it.
He touch so many people lives.
R.I.P Sad lose .
hi Hanif i hope all is ok with you got bit worried as not seen you about babe , i do hope yr ok lol sweet man .
Well I be damn, g+ did this well be careful on what you say on g+ from now on, I have a friend in London that has the same problem when she post they same very sensitive about things out to lunch, this just happen today?....well when ever, open a man's mind up on this forum seems to be political, hummmm, I do whatsupp and hangout, when people want to get closer to me with things of that nature, your welcome....sorry that's a damn shame...how long will you be off? And who is 5 hat?
Yes Indeed..
I'm lying to myself that Mr. Joe Sample is alive ... yes, he is living music ... he's the best in the world, of all time, forever
RIP Joe you made this world a better place.
@@ZZMJo you are right
Today is Mar.23, 2021. This beautiful music will always withstand the test of time. Play on my Queen.
Still Loving this 2019!
❤❤❤❤❤
Wonderful singer!
Awesome !!!
God bless Randy Crawford !
Just watching this video makes me feel relaxed !
at first missed the fullness of Crusaders arrangement....but DAMN Joe Sample!!!! Randy...mi cara!!!!
Gale Paulson Real talk.
That's how the life is played
A ten cent masquerade
You dress, you walk, you talk
You're who you think you are
Street life, you can run away from time
Street life, for a nickel, or a dime
Street life, but you better not get old
Street life, or you're gonna feel the cold
There's always love for sale
A grown-up fairy tale
Prince charming always smiles
Behind a silver spoon
And if you keep it young
Your song is always sung
Your love will pay your way
Beneath the silver moon
I thought Pam Grier sang this LOL..guess I was wrong. Great song and superb voice!
ONE OF THE MOST AWESOME SONGSTRESS OF OUR TIME... ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE THAT MAKES YOU SAY GOD IS GOOD...
