CRUSADERS-STREET LIFE.

The Crusaders was an American jazz band founded by Joe Sample, Wilton Felder and Wayne Henderson with others hired musicians.

They are one of the pioneers of jazz funk music in the 70's.

This 12th album was a big commercial success for them and was recorded under the MCA label in 1979.

It went to No:5 in the UK hit charts.
A top 20 album on Billboard pop charts, too!

My fave song is "Street Life"
