There is so much music from the past that has gone undiscovered. I would like to share those gems with others who are interested in artists and songs that have been forgotten or not yet discovered.
The Crusaders are an American music group popular in the early 1970s known for their amalgamated jazz, pop and soul sound.
The height of the group's commercial success came with 1979's Street Life, which peaked at #18 on the pop album charts and the title track from the album made the Top 10 on the R&B chart and #36 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart. The vocals are provided by Randy Crawford, an Americanjazz and R&Bsinger.
True was hired by a real estate business in Jamaica to appear in their commercial ads. During her stay on Jamaica, a political crisis gripped the island, and no one was allowed to leave with any money. Not wanting to lose her hard-earned pay, True asked her friend, record producerGregg Diamond, to travel to the island and produce a track for her, which she would finance locally. Diamond arrived with a composition in hand, to which True added lyrics. The result of their collaboration was "More, More, More." It ultimately reached No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100, and a full album with the same title soon followed. The single also reached the charts in Great Britain (where it peaked at No. 5) and Germany (where it reached No. 9). In early 1977, True released the single "N.Y. You Got Me Dancing". The single became True's second biggest hit, reaching No. 27 on Billboard's Pop chart. A year later, in 1978, she had a second hit in Great Britain with "What's Your Name, What's Your Number," taken from her (second) UK album of the same name. The single climbed to No. 34 on the British charts.
