Not sure what that song has to do with this thread but thank you for linking it! That was one of my favorite songs during the fall of 1979. It was my senior year in high school and I had a job washing dishes at a restaurant and that song played often on the radio station that the cooks were playing. Randy Crawford (a woman) delivered an excellent vocal performance.
Street Life - The Crusaders
Actually I remember that song more from “Sharkey’s Machine”.
