Car Wash: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
If Car Wash looks and feels like a 97-minute music video, there's good reason for it. Lacking anything resembling a workable script, screenwriter Joel Schumacher (yes, him--funny how things don't change, isn't it?) enlisted Motown veteran Norman Whitfield to compose a batch of songs that would, in effect, "drive" the film. It's clear from the finished film that Schumacher never overcame his writer's block, but Whitfield more than met his end of the bargain, compiling a soundtrack that yielded three top 10 singles, and a musical oeuvre that Rose Royce is still milking to this day. Car Wash succeeds by way of its mass appeal. Whitfield forwent the parochial, if classic, Motown Sound, and incorporated elements of rock, disco, and blaxploitation-esque incidental music, resulting in a meaty--and marketable--party record. Whitfield casts Rose Royce as the new Sly and the Family Stone, and though they don't quite fill those shoes, it's a blast to hear them try. --Matt Hanks

Pros & Cons :besides the funky rhythm you will also recognize the brass presence in most of the songs so creating a typical atmosphere of those years which still shows energy and fun even thirty-something years after.
...You have probably heard the main title "Car Wash" which has quite recently appeared on a Disney Cartoon. The whole CD brings not only the fun of the balck music of the early seventies, it also giv ... read more

Pros & Cons :love this plus that movie still a fan this brings back good memories every song on here jams and mostly it's instrumentals but hey i'm an old school funk fan and plus original funkadelics eddie hazel, and billy bass nelson held the whole groove down that's why this soundtrack is helluva funkdafied fire a classic every song on here is a classic and far from disco which sadly is a category rose royce fell under in later years.

Pros & Cons :this really is a recommendable cd because of the story behind it, because of the sound (typical of that time), and because you have more than the two star tracks ("zig zag" and "water" are super instrumentals, "yoyo" is a lot of fun, the ohio players like "born to love you" should have gotten the same recognition as the title track, and the musical scene - "daddy rich/you gotta believe"- with richard pryor and the pointer sisters is extraordinary).
...If you have ever seen the film Car Wash, you will remember the importance of the soundtrack. I personally saw the film again on T.V. not too long ago, and when I found this cd was available, I sim ... read more
