"I'm Goin' Down" was also covered, but by Mary J Blige in the 90s as well. In addition, I did hear The Cover Girls version of "Wishing on a Star" first, and heard the original version in the late 2000s.
You were close, Amber. The lead singer's name is Gwen Dickey. "Car Wash" is the song that everyone remembers of theirs! They also had "I Wanna Get Next to You", "I'm Going Down", and "Love Don't Live Here Anymore."
70's Soul Music was so beautifully arranged and had singers who could hold a note. It was so sophisticated back then. Thanks for reviewing all music. ✌️❤️
You're so right. They had so many great singers with soulful voices. They didn't have to do all those vocal gymnastics that they started to do in the '80s. They just sang.
You know I'm in my 60s.. I took that music for granted like it will always be here.. But I'm glad we had a chance to enjoy it and I use to go to a lot of shows back then also.
Rose Royce - Love Don't Live Here Anymore. for Female Fridays one of their finest songs to date with female lead singer this song has one of the coolest bass lines ever.
Gwen Dickey , probably one of the underrated and slept on singers, an amazing voice and vocal control, she should be up there with Chaka ,Natalie, etc…
"Love don't live here anymore" was a song that I played over and over when I went through my first big break up. I loved the instrumentation in their songs as well. I was always transported. Thanks again kids. Great pic. Canadian Grandma Lori. C.
You can't imagine the emotion this song carried for those of us splitting up with this in the charts. It was crushing, even at my age it still scares me to hear those first five words without music.
The 70's really were a great era for music, you had all the cool soul bands (Rose Royce, Cool & The Gang, Chairman of the Board, Tavares etc), swamp rock like CCR and Lynyrd Skynyrd, songwriters like James Taylor, Carole King, David Bowie, and Paul Simon, rock acts like Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, The Rolling Stones, not forgetting Elton John, The Carpenters and Punk Rock, we will never see a decade like that again.
I remember going home from the grocery store with my mom when i was little, and this song playing on the radio, and me looking at her and she was singing and driving…..she looked at me and smiled….i smiled back…I was 5….1977….she doesn’t remember things anymore, but i love that memory….she was happy…thank you for this…
You haven't even yet to hear the best of Rose Royce they have so much more for you to discover. Please take the journey you will not be disappointed. Trust me
Perfect marriage of music, lyric and vocals. This song paints a vivid picture of love, desire, romance and strong attraction for someone. It reminds me of a feeling of butterflies in my stomach when I’m very attracted to someone.
When this song came out I was a little girl. One day my mom found me sitting at the piano plucking out the notes and singing my heart out. I thought it was my song. I believed full hearted that I wrote it until mom played it for me on the radio. Great choice!
@@user-jd5ls1ro9o no I don’t think so! But I have always been able to hear a song that I fall in love with maybe once or twice and know lyrics very quickly.
@@michaelasay8587 thank you! I sing every chance I get and have even been paid more than a few times. Best memories are when people either get up and dance or make song requests for special nights out because they’re in love.
Interesting back story to the song, Norman Whitfield (the bands manager) turned to his girlfriend Billie Calvin, for material for Rose Royce's sophomore album.Calvin wrote the song original intended for Barbra Streisand. Gwen Dicky said that when she started to sing the song, Norman told her to sing it softer and more seductive.
Thanks for that education! I know in more ways than one that Barbara Streisand is a Super Star singer/ actor, but boy I'm glad Norman advised Gwen Dicky to do that. Her voice is velvety.
Lead singer, Gwen Dickey, was also known as Rose Norwalt. When the song was released, it was like nothing else at the top of the charts. Beautifully done.
Songs and bands like this bring a lot of memories back, happy memories. Although, I was young, they helped transport me to a better place 🙏🏼. Glad you both enjoyed it, but of course, you both have great appreciation and taste for good music!!!
The man you know what color Christmas is don't you? It's red rain it is red sovon hasting a song called Teddy bear Teddy bear was by red sovanne and sovi Ione
The Cover Girls did a fantastic remake of this song in the 90's. They have a regular version and a more up-tempo remix version, both were on NY radio a lot back in the day
This brings back memories for me. I remember it was 1979, I was 22 yrs old and Rose Royce came to England and I went to see them at the Hammersmith Odeon in London. They did their hits like this one and Car wash, and Gwen Dickey was just as good singing live. Great days.
I fell in love with this tune from the moment I heard it. Played my 12” single to death. Bought another and played and played it. You can’t go wrong with Rose Royce
Wishing on a star was one of my top 10 breakup songs when I was a kid. Love Don't Live Here Anymore is a heartbreaking song from Gwen Dickey. LOVE Rose Royce!!!
The bass player, Duke Job, was the cousin of a drummer I played with here in Dallas, Joey Woodard's and he did gigs with us and guitarist Tommy Prendaville in 85. We played a birthday party for Demitri Vale, a famous Dallas portrait painter. My touch with greatness. Duke toured playing bass with the Temptations when he was 16.
I love Gwen Dickey's voice!!!!!!!!!!!! Sadly Rose Royce broke up after a few albums. Gwen moved to Great Britain in the 80s. She is celebrated there and has performed at Glastonbury & with other bands.
OMG! I got so nostalgic hearing this song. I remember hearing this song for the first time at a house party. There was this girl that I just fell head over heal at school and she was at this party. I couldn`t wait to hear a slow song and when it did, this was the song. I didn`t have the nerve to ask her and while everyone else had already picked someone to dance with, there she was by the window swaying back and forth alone. With her eyes closed I just kept staring at her, then she opened her eyes and caught me looking. It was too late to turn my head to look away. She then looked at me pointed to the dance area, smiled and knotted her head, silently asking me to dance with her. I found myself walking towards her and suddenly her arms were wrapped around my neck and my hands on her waist. I was in heaven, feeling her head on my shoulder and smelling her hair. What a moment and this song meant a lot for a special shy High School kid who finally had his wish come true, Wishing on a Star
Welcome aboard, youngsters! Gwen Dicky was the reason Rose Royce was such a success in the 70's . 'In Full Bloom' and 'Strikes Again' are my favorite albums by Rose Royce.
This was the song for the last call , last dance before lights went on at the clubs back in da days!! also this song is special to me because it was the song that immediately started playing when I was standing on the side of the dance floor and across the way was someone I loved very very much , right at the moment are eyes met this was playing...I will never forget that moment .
I love this song and remember it fondly which was released in 1977. British singer Paul Weller did a very good and faithful cover to this song in 2004 which went up to #11 in the UK charts. This song was also covered by Seal, Randy Crawford, Jay-Z and Beyonce.
This song was used as the title music for the fantasy TV series, The 10th Kingdom. The opening title sequence where the New York landscape transforms into a magical fantasy land is my favourite title sequence of any show.
Such a great band, who started off with a double album set from a well love movie Car Wash . I love this female lead singer with just one listen. There is a whole library of excellent music.
I don't think they have a lot of black subscribers nor have a lot of non-black subscribers that are familiar with less mainstream black artists. I agree with you that there are a lot of black artists and bands out there that could be featured on here. They have gotten better with featuring more black artists though. It was kind of problematic for me early on and I almost unsubscribed. (For those reading my comment: I listen to all genres...so don't even start with me. I was disappointed because when they did feature black artists that were less known to non-black subscribers there were a lot of problematic comments. And I was pissed). It has gotten better now.
@@lisacox3750 I also find it funny that a lot of them like to copy and paste sh*t from Google to make is look like the really know what the hell they are talking about with these black artists and their songs on here too.
@@lisacox3750 I would say that's the case with many reaction channels, generally the requests are either 1980s Top 40/MTV hits, classic rock, alternative rock, or metal. A lot of reactions are to the same songs, sometimes around the same time, so probably the same audience are doing many of the requests. There's not a lot of instrumental music or dance music, even the ones that were hits. There's a channel that does a lot of old R&B (and not just the ones who had mainstream crossover success over like Michael Jackson, Lionel Richie, Prince, Whitney Houston, Billy Ocean, etc.) called Just Jammin' but his videos don't get many views. Jamel aka Jamal made a video once saying that some songs & artists don't get as many views and so UA-cam won't put the videos in the search algorithm.
So many great tracks by Rose Royce... 'I'm Going Down', 'I Wanna Get Next To You', 'First Come, First Served', ' It Makes You Feel Like Dancing'... all spearheaded by producer Norman Whitfield, which is a rabbit hole you should DEFINITELY go down.
Great suggestion! There are some others....Car Wash (this is a fun song from the same movie title), Ooh Boy, I Wanna Get Next To You and Love Don't Live Here Anymore!
"I'm going down" and "Love don't live here anymore" are some other hits from Rose Royce
"I'm Goin' Down" was also covered, but by Mary J Blige in the 90s as well. In addition, I did hear The Cover Girls version of "Wishing on a Star" first, and heard the original version in the late 2000s.
Forgot about "LOVE DON'T LIVE HERE ANYMORE" How about "I WANNA GET NEXT TO YOU".
Beyoncé’s version is real good too !!
Love Don’t Live Here Anymore is amazing!! ❤
You were close, Amber. The lead singer's name is Gwen Dickey. "Car Wash" is the song that everyone remembers of theirs! They also had "I Wanna Get Next to You", "I'm Going Down", and "Love Don't Live Here Anymore."
Yes!! I use to and still listen to I Wanna Get Next To You....that and Ooh Boy (I Love You So)
You ran off some major hits!
I loved the movie car wash ☺️great soundtrack!
Don't forget You can Ring My Bell.
@@klb9142 I think Ring My Bell was by Anita Ward

I second that! The 70’s was a decade with so many great songs.
AND no auto-correct of vocals either. You sang it til you got it right in the studio. Real singers who can SANG.
You know I'm in my 60s.. I took that music for granted like it will always be here.. But I'm glad we had a chance to enjoy it and I use to go to a lot of shows back then also.
The times when Love wasn't a four letter word yet and singing about love without the use of Hos & Bxxx wasn't corny
I discovered this song randomly while watching some documentary and fell in love with it. So much emotion and beauty.

Listening to this song just doesn't do it enough justice...you've got to watch the video. What a great sound from a great music group.
The Golden Era of R&B!
I still get butterflies when I hear this song. Takes me back to my first crush ❤️
Yes! I get butterflies too.

Simply Psi Well said!!! Facts!!!!
I am definitely a child of the 70s music scene. So many amazing tracks, albums, artists, and performances came from that decade…in all genres!
I remember going home from the grocery store with my mom when i was little, and this song playing on the radio, and me looking at her and she was singing and driving…..she looked at me and smiled….i smiled back…I was 5….1977….she doesn’t remember things anymore, but i love that memory….she was happy…thank you for this…
❤
What a beautiful memory.
Vinyl Rebel-play it for her-I bet she will smile ❤🎶
One of my all-time favorite songs....my (late) wife and I used to dance to this once almost every week at last !!!! Th strings make this song SANG !

Jay & Amber, you'll love their "Car Wash"!!! Very different upbeat vibe!
@surlechapeau They should check out the movie Car Wash also. 😊
@@oldiesgeek454 definitely! I have suggested that in the past.
I hope they do it soon
This group is a R & B/Disco group of the 70's and they put some fast songs too
Love Don't Live Here Anymore!
Excellent and from a woman's perspective.
Beautiful voice.
When this song came out I was a little girl. One day my mom found me sitting at the piano plucking out the notes and singing my heart out. I thought it was my song. I believed full hearted that I wrote it until mom played it for me on the radio. Great choice!
So u wrote these lyric’s coincidentally as a little girl before ever hearing the song? That’s crazy !
@@user-jd5ls1ro9o no I don’t think so! But I have always been able to hear a song that I fall in love with maybe once or twice and know lyrics very quickly.
Diana! That's a sign that you and her are connected. You must be a "awesome" musician.
Diana...hope you became a singer!
@@michaelasay8587 thank you! I sing every chance I get and have even been paid more than a few times. Best memories are when people either get up and dance or make song requests for special nights out because they’re in love.
This song reminds me of "When will I see you again" by The Three Degrees. One of the most beautiful song I've ever heard.
Oh, Amber, you have to pick 'When Will I See You Again'.
This was one of my favorite songs. Amber was spot on describing her voice soaring straight to heaven
Love, love, LOVE this song!!
The vibe of this song is strong. The lyrics and her vocals are top drawer. Always been a favourite of mine.
Interesting back story to the song, Norman Whitfield (the bands manager) turned to his girlfriend Billie Calvin, for material for Rose Royce's sophomore album.Calvin wrote the song original intended for Barbra Streisand.

We all thought we could sing this in college! Groups of us would get down singing Rose Royce ….so much fun!
"Love Don't Live Here Anymore" My personal favorite! Gwen Dickey's voice never fails to get me emotional on this one!
The vocals are insane! Love Don’t Live Here Anymore and I Wanna Get Next to You are also incredible.
Freestyle group The Cover Girls did a cover of this song and became a top 10 pop hit for them.
Played this at my dad's funeral back in 2011.. always makes me smile when I hear it
I remember roller skating to this one in the early 80's.
Lead singer, Gwen Dickey, was also known as Rose Norwalt. When the song was released, it was like nothing else at the top of the charts. Beautifully done.
This song is played every Saturday at noon on KISS 108 in Boston. It’s been playing every Saturday for like 40 years.
Rose Royce ❤️❤️
Remember when this song came out...
Singing along to it...
Everyone begging me to stop.
lol
Love this one 💖
Love Rose Royce and Gwen Dickey’s voice ❤ Is It Love Your After (or just a good time) is another banger of theirs!
Oh yes.. I’d forgotten about that one… more uptempo but still shows off her great vocals!
" Love Don't Live Here Anymore", and " I Want To Get Next To You" and of course, " Car Wash" from the same title as the movie. 🎄🎅❤️
Songs and bands like this bring a lot of memories back, happy memories.
Although, I was young, they helped transport me to a better place 🙏🏼.

Yes, I agree!!
Absolutely love this song, the group and her voice is Heaven :-)❤
LOVE DONT LIVE HERE ANYMORE IS ROSE ROYCE GREATEST SONG AND AN ABSOLUTE CLASSIC.
This is one of my favorite songs. So lovely, filled with want and desire. This song dives so deep into my love of 70s Soul/R&B.

Gwen Dickey Was The Lead Singer Of Rose Royce!
This is one of those songs that I could put on a loop and listen to over and over, for sure check out more songs from Rose Royce
Gotta add to the chorus... "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" is amazing.
"Is it love you're after" is another gem from them ;-)
I fell in love with this tune from the moment I heard it. Played my 12” single to death. Bought another and played and played it. You can’t go wrong with Rose Royce
One of my favorite groups, they have so many great songs already listed. Hard to say which is my favorite song.
Such a Fabulous Song. One of the very best…🎶
If you know “Carwash”,you’ll know this group.
Another great 70’s soul band.
Wishing on a star was one of my top 10 breakup songs when I was a kid. Love Don't Live Here Anymore is a heartbreaking song from Gwen Dickey. LOVE Rose Royce!!!
The Cover Girls did a great version of this in the early 90's. Michelle Valentine on lead vocals. Great harmonies in their version.
Great song. When I'm checking the radio stations in the car and this song comes on. I stop right there.
i remember hearing this being played on the radio while i would sit on the floor playing with my barbies, which i still have

You can't listen to Rose Royce without listening to …
Car Wash
I Wanna Get Next to You
I'm Going Down
(and especially) Love Don't Live Here Anymore
Reminds me of school discos when I was a kid. This one is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me.
Another good Rose Royce song is I Wanna Get Next To You it's a great selection!!!👍
Yep, " love don't live here anymore" is brilliant. Y'all will get to it when you can.
Amber and Jordan you may like Rose Royce,-(Car Wash)'76. Keep up with the good work 😎👍
and the movie

Love Don’t Live Here Anymore - my favorite RR song - it’s haunting
This is one of my favorite joints of all time right here
Lord of the rings ... Then Rose Royce! Guys! You made my night! Thank you , beautiful memories! Love don't live here anymore, is fabulous xx
‘Car Wash’ was so huge in the 70’s it eclipsed everything else. I always thought the DJ said ‘Rolls Royce’ when Car Wash came on.

Great suggestion! There are some others....Car Wash (this is a fun song from the same movie title), Ooh Boy, I Wanna Get Next To You and Love Don't Live Here Anymore!
"Love don't live here anymore" is a classic ... Even Madonna covered it on one of her earlier releases.
Takes me back this , my slow dance career started to this one happy times , never missed this tune to slow dance even with a chair LOL
You should see the video. The lead singers name is Gwen Dicky
Rose Royce - Car Wash (1976)
Another great Skating Rink song...
Saw Gwen live this past July - she's 68 now and in a wheelchair but she blew us away. I was in tears. So spirited and really funny - just love her!
