Joe Sample, a fine piano player and talented songwriter who was a founding member of the Jazz Crusaders, has died from complications due to lung cancer at the age of 75. Among the hits he co-wrote with Will Jennings were the songs Street Life and One Day Ill Fly Away (for Randy Crawford) and Soul Shadows (for Bill Withers). In 1954, Sample had teamed up with high school friends Wilton Felder (saxophone) and Stix Hooper (drums) to form the Swingsters in Houston, which evolved into the Jazz Crusaders in 1960 when the group moved to Los Angeles. They started as a hard-bop jazz group, influenced by Cannonball Adderley and Art Blakey, but the band (later just called The Crusaders) helped pioneer the electronic jazz-funk fusion style of the Seventies. They were the first instrumental band to tour with the Rolling Stones. Samples songs were also sampled by hip-hop artists, including Tupac Shakur, who used In All My Wildest Dreams on his album Dear Mama. A measure of his depth as a songwriter was that his album Sample This, featuring his own versions of 14 of his compositions, was nominated for a 1998 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Jazz Performance.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/worldfolkandjazz/11095333/Joe-Sample-of-The-Crusaders-dies-aged-75.html
