The Street People
For other uses, see Street people (disambiguation).
The Street People was the name of two American groups to score hits on the US Billboard charts in the 1970s.
A group called The Street People hit #35 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1970 with the song "Jennifer Tomkins".[1] The group's vocalist was Rupert Holmes.
This group was not, however, the same as the R&B/disco group from New Jersey who first began recording in 1974.[2] They were produced by Ray Dahrouge and initially recorded for Spring Records, but their first single flopped. After switching to Vigor Records, they released a full-length self-titled album in 1976 and had several hit singles on the US Billboard R&B chart.
