I was watching Car Wash last night and I heard this song play and the first thing that came to my mind was Marsha Ambrosius sampled this on one of her mixtapes. So I had to come here and hear the whole song. I'm not from this era but I have heard a lot of Rose Royce music and I haven't heard a song that I dislike yet. They were bad!!
@junglekiDD55 I like the scene where the song came on, the one where the boss's mistress was getting wooed by the smooth talking dude in the suit after she realized she was being used by the boss.
@UsernameJones YEAH.. THAT SCENE WAS NICE TOO! I ALSO REMEMBER DANNY DEVITO IN THE O.G. MOVIE, BUT IVE SEEN CAR WASH LIKE 3 TIMES SINCE THEN & THE SCENES OF HIM AS MGR OF THE BURGER JOINT@DA CAR WASH WERE EDITTED OUT... WHY?
Because your generation's music does suck, and when we knew something sucked we didn't try to defend it by saying "don't listen to it" and when Black Performers came onstage to play at award shows they didn't bring pimps, hookers or ruse curse words. All those acts old skol bought was their talent and passion to the stage unlike a couple of 'gurls' today who shake their asses in high heels to get attention. Your generation's music sucks and has no soul.

Did you know Norman Whitfeild wrote the classic hits for the mighty TEMPTATIONS!~Ain't to proud to beg,. and one of the greatest songs ever written ,Just My Imagination~Now you can hear the flavor~when you listen, if Norman had not left Motown ,it's likely this one would have been a Temptation Hit!~ for sure with Eddie Kendricks doing the lead!~ WOW!~can you hear what 'm saying?
oh! almost forgot, Ball of confusion, cloud 9, runaway child, it's summer,I wish it would rain, don't let the jonses..
One of the few lead vocals done by my friend, guitarist, Kenji Brown. That's him doing the 1st lead and the ad-lib duet with Kenny Copeland on the vamp.
At 51 yrs old I was a teen when this came out and I made out with it, ok no laughin now, cause i still listen to this today, the words, are tight, this song was perfect, cause I had a lot of funn back in the 70's that was the thang back then, making out with the music, Today's Music just sucks, would not make out with any of the songs of today,The songs are not true to the heart, all talk,all cursing, all degrading of women,, so sad what society listens to. 70's is where it's at.
@discolarry124 hey boss i hear you.I'm 44 and i grew up on all of the 60's-90's r&b,soul,funk,& hip-hop.I agree they don't make music like the 70's & 80's when it comes to slow jams or love songs.well since you don't really listen to any of today's music and really neither do i,but they don't produce love songs anymore.It's just watered down garbage that promote ignorance & stupidity.bitches,ho's,cars,money,bling,strip clubs,beef,houses and other meaningless garbage.there's a few today who r ok
@discolarry124 The whole thing was meant to go down hill, such is the faith of any artificial bubble. Its not just the songs that went down hill, what about the movies and the fashion. Now ripped jeans sell for $300, and even then you must makesure to buy one that sags to reveal dirty under wear.
The whole culture is not human, its Alien in nature, the trick started with songs saying, love your woman more than good or God, that was 50 yrs ago, now it shows its true face, no love at ALL!!!.
Now its Shows its true face, no love at all, just WAR WAR WAR. Thats what its been planning since it gave us that song called "My Endless Love". Any patient person who spent enough time to observe the shadows, could have told you in 1968 that Diana Ross and all the rest of them were lying. They all work for the pentagon. And you all know what pentagon works for.
Now in the dawn of Amargedon, you might hear the true voice of those singing those love songs soon.
@discolarry124 Very true... Happened to me too... those were the days when songs/music was really cool... it was our era, now it's our children's generation that have taken music onto the next level. Yet, I still yearn for the 70's music... early 80's too... showing my age now... yes, am 50 and heading fast for 51 now ;-)x Divorced Mum and love Rose Royce's version of "Love don't live here anymore"... I wonder what that beautiful singer is doing these days? xxx
I can relate to your post. I loe this soulful music, because its unfiltered emotions, which in turn make you appreciate it so much more. Grew up in the 90's, but oldies music takes it 8 times out of 10.
Oooh what memories of being young back in the day...love this melody...gr8 times growing up with Rose Royce on the dial..thanks for posting this song..
@Sal1675 I agree with you 100% Sal....just the snap crackeling & popping (VINYL) @ the very beginning brings a smile to my face... once the msuic hits my ear drums its a total eargazim... miss my golden era of soulful 70's tunes..thanks for the share & @ArchieGe.. U ROCK BIG TIME! keep em comin..Peace..Port!
I remember being 6 years old & my auntie Kitisha Demmings (r.i.p.) takin me & my 2 brothers Shannon Jackson & Anthony Hinkle-Hatchett (r.i.p.) to the movies to see Car Wash. It was the best movie i had seen in my young 6 years!!!!!!
Love this song, my uncle had this soundtrack on 8 track. Wore it out cruising around town. This song is awesome, but we had to wait and listen to the whole album before playing the song again because 8 tracks didn't have a reverse or fast forward button. Those were the days! Thanks for posting!

Fantastic music for a great classic movie. Those were the good ole days & I thank god I enjoyed a bit. Music was good, talent was the real deal. Some of the talent of tadays' times get by for how you can shake your a-- & the skimpy outfits. The real talent is overlooked & under-rated because they might not look a certain way. That;s bull & I pray that maybe, just MAYBE, It'll change & give those deserving their PROPS that are long overdue. Real talent lasts & the sun burns the grass after awhile
Man, the 70s were amazing. They need to bring it back along with the 90s type of style. Just hope this decade brings good music and not that WACK stuff we hear daily on the radio. Thank God for the big DM radio station that ONLY plays oldies, 80s and 90s music, ONLY. Not that mainstream crap.
What's missing beyond the great writting in alot of the R&B music today are those great brass horns sections back in the 70's...... it made the music sound so big and rich....
Ha, Ha, ha, Franklin Ajaye had to throw that shit on a young Jayne Kennedy looking all you and fly and shit, had to bring her uppty ass back down to earth only the Fly can do that kiddddddddddd.
yea you must of been fucked up when you watched the movie because that ain't jayne kennedy...her name is tracy reed....she was in movies like trouble man...a piece of the action....shit the bitch was even on a episode of the love boat sonnnnnnnnnnn.
Good to know it's 76' again one year before basic training, Rose Royce kicking much ass and no Kanye West & Jay-Z. You actually had to sing and perform for the late Norman Whitfield.
" ooh baby , you're on my mind , all the time , so you're never ever hard to find , cause you're always on mind " Now thats how you express yourself to a woman !
@mindofmorrison I couldn't agree more. By far the most outstanding track on the soundtrack and yet it gets totally overlooked. One of those songs that makes me stop what I am doing to listen....
I was just driving down the highway a couple nights ago. Clear sky, warm, moon was shining and I was listening to this song. Amazing how all those things just fell into place. Gotta do it again sometime. Good travelling music.
@koolaid28 I understand where ur coming from, that's how it happened to me. When I was young, my father took me & my brother from New York to Ilinois. My brother was asleep in the back seat, I was up front with my father. I looked out the window to a full moon & star filled sky. Right then Rose Royce - Wishing On A Star came on.
This song just has "A beautiful 70's afternoon" written all over it. You're on My Mind is one of those songs that can raise your spirits in time of need....Love it!!
You know what? This song is perfect for that early high school first infatuation. The girl or boy you see that makes the sound of blaring horns and fireworks go off. This song is In my top ten of all time R&B tunes.
You don't need drugs for this tune - I came back from the states & managed to dig this out some crate in NY - the original soundtrack for $12/£8.50 - I would have paid 10x that. This tune makes me so happy and brings back so many good memories ,from the film too - I want to dance to this song as my 1st dance at my wedding with my (not yet found) wife. Also can't help feel for Marsha waiting for dream date with Mr Right. ALL TOGETHER NOW OOoooweeeeeOOOoooh, together, forever...me & you...!!!!!
OH MY GOSH! I almost started to cry when i heard this. I LOVE THIS SONG. The guys of the group showed thier talent for a change on this song. My favorite jam by Rose Royce and one I can sing with allllll my heart. Thanks for the post The chorus your on my mind is enchanting. I want to slow dance to this song everyday. We'll be togethor fooooooorever and ever so romantic....
this the best song on that album i made six sons and 4 daughters off this song and the oldest is 30 youngest is 3 i have my grand kids listening to this song
Would someone tell these black radio stations that the Car Wash soundstrack was one of the best albums ever composed both song, writing, musicallly played, etc. As we all know Rose Royce was no joke baby, but do you ever here this song played??? Nooooooooooooooooo
The actual car wash was torn down in the early 1980's. It was located on 6th & Rampart a few blocks from the historic MacArthur Park. It is now a strip mall.
I thought that I saw the same car wash too when I was on Pico blvd when I went to L.A a few months ago. I wasn't exactly sure if it was the same, but it sure looked like it.
i dont get people saying songs are being destroyed by remakes...just dont listen to the remake its not like there is never gonna be an original version, if its a classic then it will never be destroyed
The song was played when the girl with the wigs was in the bathroom and/or in the phonebooth trying to call her man...and also during a Franklin Ajaye/Tracy Reed scene I believe...and as stated earlier, it is on the CarWash soundtrack(I have the original LP).
Can't help but smile to this : ). What a great soundtrack too!

@mindofmorrison I couldn't agree more. By far the most outstanding track on the soundtrack and yet it gets totally overlooked. One of those songs that makes me stop what I am doing to listen....
Love it!

I was just driving down the highway a couple nights ago. Clear sky, warm, moon was shining and I was listening to this song. Amazing how all those things just fell into place. Gotta do it again sometime. Good travelling music.

@koolaid28 I understand where ur coming from, that's how it happened to me. When I was young, my father took me & my brother from New York to Ilinois. My brother was asleep in the back seat, I was up front with my father. I looked out the window to a full moon & star filled sky. Right then Rose Royce - Wishing On A Star came on.

You know what? This song is perfect for that early high school first infatuation. The girl or boy you see that makes the sound of blaring horns and fireworks go off. This song is In my top ten of all time R&B tunes.

You don't need drugs for this tune - I came back from the states & managed to dig this out some crate in NY - the original soundtrack for $12/£8.50 - I would have paid 10x that. This tune makes me so happy and brings back so many good memories ,from the film too - I want to dance to this song as my 1st dance at my wedding with my (not yet found) wife. Also can't help feel for Marsha waiting for dream date with Mr Right. ALL TOGETHER NOW OOoooweeeeeOOOoooh, together, forever...me & you...!!!!!

The actual car wash was torn down in the early 1980's. It was located on 6th & Rampart a few blocks from the historic MacArthur Park. It is now a strip mall.

I thought that I saw the same car wash too when I was on Pico blvd when I went to L.A a few months ago. I wasn't exactly sure if it was the same, but it sure looked like it.

i dont get people saying songs are being destroyed by remakes...just dont listen to the remake its not like there is never gonna be an original version, if its a classic then it will never be destroyed
BKkillaz 3 years ago
The song was played when the girl with the wigs was in the bathroom and/or in the phonebooth trying to call her man...and also during a Franklin Ajaye/Tracy Reed scene I believe...and as stated earlier, it is on the CarWash soundtrack(I have the original LP).
