Randy Crawford's initial notoriety came from her fiery vocal on 'Street Life,' a 1979 song matching her with the Crusaders that was included on the soundtrack for Burt Reynolds' film Sharky's Machine.
Crawford was born in Macon and grew up in Cincinnati; she worked in clubs as a teen, accompanied by her father. Crawford was lead vocalist in a group that included bassist Bootsy Collins before touring as George Benson's opening act in 1972.
Secret Combination is Crawford's 5th Studio Album. Rich, proud work from Randy Crawford, sung with the mature mix of jazz and soul that made her one of the more sophisticated mainstream singers of her generation! The album's heavy on mellower cuts, but it's never too sleepy thanks to a slow-burning sensibility that Randy uses to keep things cooking on the low burners, a style that brings out some good vocal force even when the backings are somewhat gentle. Production's by Tommy LiPuma, and somewhat slick, and tracks include 'You Might Need Somebody', 'That's How Heartaches Are Made', 'Two Lives', 'You Bring The Sun Out', 'Rio De Janeiro Blue', 'Time For Love', 'Trade Winds', and 'When I Lose My Way'.
