Its ironic that I didn't really like the album version of the title cut when I first heard, as I thought it was over-long, but now it is one of my two favorite tracks on the album. Its not just the tremendous voice of Randy Crawford, its the awful plain truth of the lyrics. The instrumentals are great too, but the real stand-out is the sax-powered Rodeo Drive (High Steppin'). I can listen to that over and over again.
I've owned the Street Life album for more than 15 years and I never get tired of hearing it as it is positively mesmerising.
