Randy Crawford (n. Macon; 18 de febrero de 1952) es una cantante de Rhythm & Blues estadounidense.

El texto que sigue es una traducción defectuosa.

Se le conoce como una de las leyendas de la música popular negra. Lleva más de treinta años en la música, y ha tocado prácticamente todas los géneros, (sobre todo, jazz, soul y R&B). Aunque tiene numerosos éxitos como cantante, el gran éxito de Crawford llega tras ponerle voz a una de las canciones de The Crusaders, Street Life, y más al ser ésta una de las principales que Quentin Tarantino utilizó para su película Jackie Brown. Anteriormente estuvo de gira con Joe Sample, el que fue pianista del grupo The Crusaders, y uno de los mayores representantes del jazz fusion. Su versatilidad la ha llevado también a participaciones en rock progresivo. Tal es el caso del álbum del exintegrante de Genesis - Steve Hackett - Please Don't Touch en que Hoping Love Will Last marca uno de sus grandes registros.

[en] Randy Crawford

Veronica "Randy" Crawford (born February 18, 1952) is an American jazz and R&B singer. She has been more successful in Europe than in the United States, where she has not entered the Billboard Hot 100 as a solo artist.[1] However, she has appeared on the Hot 100 singles chart twice. The first time was in 1979 as a guest vocalist on The Crusaders' top-40 hit "Street Life". She also dueted with Rick Springfield on the song "Taxi Dancing", which hit number 59 as the B-side of Springfield's hit "Bop Til You Drop". She has had five top-20 hits in the UK, including her 1980 number-two hit, "One Day I'll Fly Away", as well as six UK top-10 albums. Despite her American nationality, she won Best British Female Solo Artist in recognition of her popularity in the UK at the 1982 Brit Awards.[2] In the late 2000s, she received her first two Grammy Award nominations.
