Street Corner Heroes

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1981 album including previously unreleased bonus tracks. Robbie Dupree began his music career by singing on the street corners of Brooklyn. His passion for music flourished in the rich, creative atmosphere of the late 1960s. Moving to New York City during these exciting days, Robbie dedicated himself to songwriting and the pursuit of a solo career. By 1970, he was performing on the club scene in Greenwich Village with bandmate, the legendary Nile Rodgers in a group called New World Rising. In 1978, Robbie made the decision to pursue a solo career. He moved to Los Angeles and hooked up with old friends Rick Chudacoff and Peter Bunetta. Together, they produced his first solo recording.
