It's confusing seeing white girls on this video when the actors in the movie were primarily black.
I was an exchange-student back in 1976-7 when I saw it. The father of the second family, I stayed with, had been in the army and had access to the local army base where I saw the movie. I was one of the few honkies there.
I remember rollerskating to this chasing the young girls around not sure of what to do once I caught them! I was 27 at the time...LOL I kid... I would have been 12 - 13 when this came out. The 70's where a cool time to grow up. I know we say it all the time but things were a lot easier back then and the music was WAY better than today's sorry state of affairs. Most of these "singers" you hear couldn't write a song if their life depended on it. The songs are written by their producers.
this song is just one that makes you want to break out in funky dance :D great thing is, I tend to do that whenever i hear songs like this, and often in public places. if more people were like me, this world would be so much more fun :D
@RustyChops41 Lolz man I'm pasty white as hell and I live in potentially the least ethnic neighborhood but I love soul, funk, and jazz with every fiber of my being. It's called good music and it's something that can be appreciated by all races
@m4nur0cks Who gives a fuck if someone is listening to it in 2011 lol and obviously if we give you a thumbs up that means we are listening to the song lmao
I like the music from the 50's,60's,70's,80's and 90's but I like my music from those days and I like some of the music fro 90's on up but not a lot of it
i'm 63 and was fortunate to grow up listening to all the great soul singers and groups-and of course there were great rock groups too-i think it would me a long time to list the all. i got to hear music from the 50's,60's,70's,80's,90's up until now. thanks sososo much for posting!!!
@diamondz4lfye313 I was born in 1962 and grew up on this stuff- funk, soul, punk, disco all were new...It WAS a better time, let me tell ya...the stylistics, the jackson5, kc and the sunshine band, the spinners, boston, abbba, ac/dc, the doobie bros, average white band, wings, wet willie, sweet, just to name a few~
@DNRvideos I got gypped growing up in the crappy '80s and had to settle for Saturday Morning Cartoons. Never could get into MTV so escaped the brainwashing. Now the oldies station that I'm listening to is getting me into the classic shit and I have an appreciation for the 50s, 60s, and seventities. Little refreshing listening to the older stuff and it is new to me.
rose royce @ trump taj mahal casino atlantic city nj on sat oct 16, 2010. the worlds biggest 70s classic disco live concert -13 acts including rose royce.
Just seen this live in central park, east ham, she did this song 3 times but a slightly altered version each time. She was supporting Heatwave in a live free concert and I missed the start. Was awesome.
We use to laugh at my cousin Edwina cause she could never get the clappin part right, she still can't . We use to crack-up at her. She's mixed. The black people know what I'm talkin about back then. 100% black song.
Car Wash remember this when i was 17 years old now 52 but still makes me dance around .....
