I always wished that the ENTIRE album COULD HAVE BEEN the "Street Opera" where EACH song could have related back to the prior song(s). It would have made for a stronger offering had it happened this way. Be that as it may, "Street Opera" is an original, unique and creative foray into early 80's R&B. It's SO REPRESENTATIVE of what Classic Old School R&B is about and remains true to the form sounding as fresh and as current NOW as it did THEN in classic "duet" style a la Marvin & Tammi, Rick & Teena, Peabo & Roberta, Billy &.

Ashford & Simpson came up with an intriguing tack for this early-'80s session: take a contemporary situation and use a quasi-operatic format to illuminate it. The only problem came in the execution; the songs weren't up to the concept, although most weren't terrible. They were just good, faceless urban contemporary dance and love tunes, hardly the kind of transcendent things needed to make this worthy of operatic pretensions.

Temporarily Out Of Stock. LP, Vinyl record album. Send In Stock Notice. Dang, these guys could never miss! Even in later years, Ashford and Simpson were still going strong – working here in a wonderfully mellow style that's as soulful for the moment as their mid 70s groovers were for that time. Side two features the extended "Street Opera" suite, side one has some shorter more straightforward tunes that include "Mighty Mighty Love",.
