Secret Combination (1981) stayed on the Billboard album chart for 60 weeks, after which her profile dipped, despite a return to the Top 10 with "Almaz" in (1986).
Naked And True (1995) brought Crawford back to her roots: it included Benson's "Give Me The Night", and confirmed her soul heritage by featuring Funkadelicists Bootsy Collins, Bernie Worrell and The Fred Wesley Horns. But she enjoyed her highest profile of the decade when rising starlet Shola Ama had a worldwide hit with a cover of "You Might Need Somebody" in 1997.
She still continues to make great R&B hits and performs on various Jazz Festivals around the world.

Last Night At Danceland
Randy Crawford Lyrics
I woke up this mornin', just another day
Don't ask me for very much, gave it all away
No use to pretend, the movie has to end
I made my last stand, last night at Danceland
I got high last night at Danceland
For the last time before he said good bye
I could fly last night at Danceland
Kept on laughin' just so I wouldn't cry
Anyway, he bought blue orchids for my hair
I felt like Ginger Rogers after she lost Fred Astaire
I got by last night at Danceland
Now I'm down to love songs and loneliness
Anyway, he bought blue orchids for my hair
I felt like Ginger Rogers after she lost Fred Astaire
I got a high at Danceland, I could fly last night at Danceland
I said goodbye last night at Danceland
I made my last stand, last night at Danceland, yeah
I got high last night at Danceland
For the last time before he said good bye
I could fly last night at Danceland
But I kept right on laughin', just so that I wouldn't cry
Anyway, you bought blue orchids for my hair
Felt like Ginger Rogers after she lost Fred Astaire
I got a high, I could fly, I said goodbye, ooh, I could fly
I said goodbye at Danceland, yeah
I made my last stand, last night at Danceland, yeah
This is what I did at Danceland
Got a little high, got a little high at Danceland
Kept on laughin', kept on laughin' at Danceland
I thought I was flyin', I thought I was flyin' at Danceland
Kept on dancin', I kept on dancin' at Danceland
I thought I was flyin', I thought I was flyin' at Danceland
Kept on laughin', kept on dancin' at Danceland
