Randy Crawford & The Joe Sample Trio - UK Tour 2008
13/11/2008 : The incomparable RANDY CRAWFORD and the legendary JOE SAMPLE return to the UK this month. November 28th Birmingham Symphony Hall 30th Manchester Palace Theatre December 3rd Brighton Dome 4th Hammersmith Apollo Full concert details: www.marshall-arts.com The Randy and Joe concerts are not to be missed; Randy performs with a rare passion and treats each song with a precious intensity, as if it's the first time she's had the opportunity to share that song with her audience. From her worldwide hits such as Street Life (with the Crusaders) and One Day I'll Fly Away to classic versions of songs such as Bob Dylan's Knockin' On Heaven's Door and John Lennon's Imagine, the unique combination of Randy Crawford's extraordinary vocals and Joe Sample's flowing, jazzy, interpretative arrangements make for the perfect night out. Randy and Joe's excellent new album, No Regrets, is a collection of twelve great songs that showcase these cherished performers in their greatest light, performing classic songs in a smoky atmosphere of silky, soulful, jazz arrangements. Tracks include the classic Respect Yourself, a massive hit for the Staple Singers in the 1970s and cannily relevant today; Me Myself And I which was a huge hit for Billie Holiday in 1937; Everyday I Have The Blues a classic tune made famous by Joe Williams with the Count Basie Orchestra; Angel of the Morning, a huge hit for the great PP Arnold more than 40 years ago and more. Randy Crawford has possessed a rare vocal beauty since she was very small and started singing in the local church choir. Hers is a unique voice, one that defies categorisation and one that continues to thrill. Onstage she is a magical performer imbuing every song with emotional involvement, smouldering passion, a tremulous high or surprising low; her inter-song patter reveals the warmest personality and a sharp sense of humour; her anecdotes are as fruity as her fabulous voice! Randy Crawford and Joe Sample have known each other for most of their lives; Joe was born in Houston, Texas, ...
Street Life - 2pac ft. Snoop, Ital Joe, Crstyle and Jewell
04/08/2008 : One of the songs we made in January, 1996. The writing was on the wall that Calvin and McKinley were going to beat the manslaughter and murder charges they were facing from the August 25th, 1993 slaying of Phillip Woldemariam -- especially since on November 6th, 1995, Johnnie Cochran dropped the murder charges of Sean Abrams. The one who actually came up with the "Street Life" concept for the song was me and Joe Paquette ("Price Ital" Joe), which we obviously sampled from Randy Crawford. The original idea was to actually get Crawford to do the hook, and in the meantime have Jewell Caples sing just to get the vibe going. Jewell was a great singer. She came to Death Row in 1992 after Suge got her out of her shady contract she had with Ruthless since 1990. The song was supposed to be on The Doggfather released later that year, but it got pulled. Some say Calvin didn't want any Tupac songs on that CD because of the fight they got into the week before Tupac died, but who knows? The politics was deep back then, which was the reason I didn't sign with any label, although Suge and Tupac wanted me too sign with Death Row.
