A group called The Street People hit #35 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1970 with the song "Jennifer Tomkins". 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. 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.

Yet another group to use the name The Street People was Ronnie Hudson and the Street People, whose single "West Coast Poplock" has been sampled by many artists.
