The Very Best of Rose Royce

Amazon.com
Rose Royce was the most anonymous of disco hit-makers. They scored 11 R&B top 30 singles, but the fact that they had four lead vocalists couldn't have helped cement their image, and neither can their range of material, from funk-pop stomps ("Car Wash," "Do Your Dance") to smoldering slow ones. Originally assembled by psychedelic soul controller Norman Whitfield as a post-Motown project, the group gradually drifted from disco downpours to Quiet Storm drizzle. After their full-throttle debut with the Car Wash soundtrack, diminishing returns set in, though this compilation cherry picks the good album tracks from later records as well as the hits. But Whitfield's presence insured that there was usually something unconventional happening in the mix--check the Space Invaders bass on the ballad "Love Don't Live Here Anymore"--and the songs Whitfield and his stable handed them were powerful and resonant, including the original versions of Mary J. Blige's "I'm Going Down" and the much-covered "Wishing on a Star." --Douglas Wolk

Rhino does good.......2007-02-08

This cd is well-done for a single disk and all songs are great and sound quality if fantastic. I highly recommend this cd. "I wanna get next to you" has to be one of the sweetest slow jams ever recorded.

talking about the car wash.......2003-01-05

rose royce was tight my faves are wishing on a star, and love don't live here anymore and can't forget the classic I'm goin down remade by mary j blige, ynv, and more recently camron ooh boy. and can't forget the ghetto classic car wash you ain't ghetto til you jammed off that cut so if you feeling rose royce you should get this and keep daddy rich's memory alive.

Rose Royce is a group, not a woman.......2003-08-28

Formed in the USA as a multi-purpose backing group, the original nine-piece worked under a variety of names. In 1973 Kenji Brown (guitar), Victor Nix (keyboards), Kenny Copeland, Freddie Dunn (trumpets), Michael Moore (saxophone), Lequient "Duke" Jobe (bass), Henry Garner and Terrai Santiel (drums) backed Edwin Starr as Total Concept Limited, before supporting Yvonne Fair as Magic Wand. This line-up later became the regular studio band behind the Undisputed Truth and Temptations, before embarking on their own recording career following the addition of singer Gwen Dickey. The group took the name Rose Royce in 1976 when they recorded the successful soundtrack to the motion picture Car Wash, the title song of which was a platinum-selling single. Two further songs from the movie reached the R&B Top 10 before the band joined producer Norman Whitfield's label. Two atmospheric releases, "Wishing On A Star" and "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" (both 1978), reached the Top 3 in the UK despite disappointing sales at home. This feature continued the following year with "Is It Love You're After", another UK Top 20 record. Their popularity in the UK was verified in 1980 when the Greatest Hits collection reached number 1 in the album charts. Since then the group has continued to record, but their releases have only made the lower reaches of the charts.

Soft, sultry, sweet.......2001-06-15

Rose Royce never achieved the status she deserved. This album contains the best of her best. It's an easy listen with soul and depth. I listen to Rose when it's time to sip wine and let go of the outside world. My favorite song is "I Want to Get Next to You."
