City Life is the third studio album by the American R&B/jazz-funk fusion group the Blackbyrds, released in 1975 on Fantasy Records.

City Life has also been certified Gold in the US by the RIAA.

[4][5] City Life was produced by Donald Byrd and includes singles "Happy Music" and "Rock Creek Park."

[4] Stewart Mason of AllMusic proclaimed, "The Blackbyrds -- a jazz-funk outfit formed in a university class taught by jazz trumpeter Donald Byrd, who produced the albums and wrote most of the tunes -- were more of an Earth, Wind & Fire-style horn band than a purist jazz crew, but few groups were better in their chosen style, and 1975's City Life is probably their best album...This is often-sublime stuff ripe for rediscovery by fans of '70s funk, soul, and fusion.

[6] The original LP doesn't credit any musicians individually and instead gives a general "very special thanks" to them.
