Editor's note

Randy Crawford's soulful voice and quiet hits

A jazz-soul singer whose 1979 hit 'Street Life' defined her sound.

For a quick sense of her style, listen to 'Street Life' and 'Rainy Night In Georgia.' They frame her blend of jazz, soul, and R&B.

Her voice had a soulful quality that drew comparisons to Sarah Vaughan. The song 'Street Life' from 1979 became her biggest hit, reaching the top ten in several countries. She worked with musicians like Joe Sample and David Sanborn, and her catalog includes songs like 'Rainy Night In Georgia' and 'Everything Must Change'.

She started singing in local churches and choirs, and her first album, 'Everything Must Change,' came out in 1976 after she met George Benson. In 1988, a car accident caused a back injury that kept her from performing for a while, but she eventually returned to recording and touring.
