Joseph Leslie "Joe" Sample (February 1, 1939 – September 12, 2014)
The importance of JOE SAMPLE goes far beyond his work with the legendary CRUSADERS. Yet the best way to celebrate and honour this amazing Jazz pianist and producer is with a feature of JAZZFUNK gems from THE CRUSADERS including their unforgettable DISCO classic "Street Life" featuring the hauntingly beautiful vocals of RANDY CRAWFORD. Also their is some solo material from JOE SAMPLE and a rich selection of remixes that demonstrate the vast influence he continues to have on 'mondo disco'.
