When Street Opera was released in May 1982, it reached number forty-five in the US Billboard 200 and five in the US R&B Charts. Three singles were released from Street Opera, the first being Street Corner in March 1982. It reached number fifty-six in the US Billboard 100, number nine in the US R&B Charts and number eleven in the Dance Charts. In July 1982, Love It Away was released as a single, reaching number twenty in the US R&B Charts. The third and final single was I’ll Take the World On, released in October 1982, but failed to chart. Although the singles taken from the album weren’t hugely successful, Street Opera is seen as one of Ashford and Simpson’s best albums, which I’ll now tell you about.
