The Crusaders really came into their own in the 70's with their own blend of jazz, funk and pop, culminating with their smash hit 'Street Life' in '79. The opening "Dead End",a fine funk jazz romp through everything this band does best! And Leon Ndugu Chancler's choice to leave George Duke's band for the Crusaders added alot of excitment to the mix so how could this. This album is highly recommended for the electro-funk fans.
