There was a family in Norfolk/Virginia Beach area at church that would just start singing this or another song... late 90s One would start and they’d all jump in, grown folks. And they could SANG.

Man I've had an Afro for years! Started growing in 2012 after I got out of the Corps and that thing was poppin 😂😂 (btw I'm white as fuck) I used to say the Soul is in the Fro
Love those rhythmic handclaps!...Rose Royce's Car Wash is an enduring dance classic with funky grooves that sound as good today as they did nearly 40 years ago...Make no mistake, the '70s produced an era of super cool music we'll probably never see the likes of again anytime soon...
i thought about buying a building and converting it into an old fashon 70's rollerskating rink with the old fashion roller skates and old 70's music and the light balls...i used to skate in the 70's
Miss these days. I might've been a little girl when this song came out, but I wish this era was now! I loved the music my Mom always had...Radio was on everyday and it's part of my life now.
Proud of you. So many stories like this from younger people who missed those days. The cars, music and TV shows were amazing. We had everything we needed and business got done. It just gets done faster now and tech is a great industry to drive the economy even more. The best advantage today though, over then, is medical advances allowing people to live longer.
Both my brothers worked at the car wash, one was a clown or fool, but bosses really don't mind. Then some days there were "drama fools" fighting up there, boss still didn't care, as long as the work got done.
This is when music was fantastic and didnt require half naked females, lyrics of murders. At this time music was music especially when you can produce a hit about a carwash for movie. As I said from true artist of the craft.
Back in the 70s we partied in black clubs and they partied with us . We didn’t worry about race just dancin! Yes there was racism but it seemed we were having such good times dancing in the clubs we didn’t think about it!
Sounds like the real partiers at the time, and oh they had 'em in the '70s, simply would not exercise nor allow some asshole party-pooper's racial pretences to louse up the good times. Party on instead, without that and without them. These cars are CLEAN, oh yes!
For those wondering, the musicians are lead and backing vocalist Gwen Dickey; guitarists Kenji Brown and Melvin Ragin; bassist Lequeint "Duke" Jobe; drummer Henry Garner; conga player Terral Santiel; keyboardists Ben Wilber, Mark Davis, and Victor Nix; saxophonist Michael Moore; and trumpeters Freddie Dunn and Kenny Copeland.
Amen to your comment.This song called the party to the floor an the sisters dancing free style.And when we would hear this song we all would start putting in some work dancing You never had to go to a gym/fitness center.What this song an group did for Philly(.Will forever live on.)😊😊😊@@alking7655

They played this movie at the 75 cent theater on Brynmawr in north Chicago. The audience was filled with neighborhood kids who clapped along and knew every line, every lyric, in the movie. The enthusiasm and funky soul was infectious. I saw it several times there, in 1977. Good times.
I remember seeing Monty Python there. A tiny bomb or M80 blew open the side exit door in the middle of the movie. There were only 7 people in the theater at the time and my buddy jumps up and yells; "OK, NOBODY PANIC!!!!!!"......when he was the ONLY one panicking. I still make fun of him today about it.
I remember seeing it at the Uptown theatre a few blocks away (on Broadway) at the same time, and the same thing happened with the audience. It was the best. I lived over on Marine Dr. at the time.
I remember as a kid, two friends & I choreographed a routine to this song. We kept performing it over & over for our parents, asking them if we were good enough to get on The Gong Show, 😂
I was a teenager in the 70s, but still a avid listener of 70s/80s music. Whenever I'm around friends from that time era, I always question them on...What was their favorite movie or song from the 70s?...and 90% said movie and song "CAR WASH". It was like an ANTHEM to us in 76.♥️GREAT MUSIC ROSE ROYCE!! ♥️
This was the first 45 I ever owned. I was 4 and played it repetitively on my Fisher Price record player. I remember watching the rainbow spin around and around on the MCA label.
This is such a cool song ,great vibe also the whole band lived each other .And she's still performing lord ,live a long long time Miss Rose Royce . 🌹 Roselle

Rose Royce, "Car Wash"...my 'Funk you, Monday' playlist on FB; NGO....Never Gets Old; blessed enough to have met them in 'full force' they were kind enough to autograph my "In Full Bloom" double album. Thank you, RR. Thank you for the upload, BakNDaDay. Blessings #keeprockin
I bought this single (and so did two million other people), and later I played the other side "Water" on the digital jukebox at the late Portway Tavern as part of my summertime play list. I may have driven some people rather zorbey with those songs, but we can never have those days again. 😢
Oh the good ol' days! We skated to this, we partied to this and we jammed to this! One of my favs!!! People of all backgrounds, all colors and all races had fun with this!! Too bad ignorant asses had to come along and ruined it all! RIP good times! I miss ya! At least they couldn't change the music though!! ;oP

The 1970's gave us the best music there ever will be across the spectrum: soul. funk, disco, the great classic rock and southern rock bands, even country, like Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Crystal Gale, Linda Ronstadt and beyond.
this was the jam back in the day!!!! guaranteed to get some butts out on the dance floor! the movie is excellent too. it really captured the sexy stoned vibe of the 1970s. a great midnite movie.
If you werent born in the 70s or you landed to earth from another planet and missed out on what the 70s was all about, just watch this cult movie, this movie Carwash says everything about the 70s, just brilliant, classy & funny with stars like Richard Pryor, Antonio Fargas, Carwash a Norman Whitfield production will put you in a positive mode for the weekend
If you weren't born in the 60's or 70's it's gonna be hard to understand this movie. I was born but not in the States so when I first saw the movie , my jaw dropped .... I had never seen anything like that. The MUSIC.... the SOUL of it!!!!!!
Yeah! People missed out on some cool-ass shit! They have NO clue about the culture of the 70's, they just think it was ridiculous for fashion! But the saddest thing is they have no idea what REAL dance music is, there isn't any today and hasn't really been since the 80's.
Yes, people used to not walk around with a huge chip on their shoulder looking for someone to blame for their shortcomings. Fact is people are exactly where they want to be, attitude is the number one reason for having a happy life or a difficult life.
Every year in high school, for the last few weeks before winter break all the gym classes would do a dance unit. Lotsa dorky square and circle dances, but the real fun was when the teachers would line everyone up and break out the disco. Car Wash, You Sexy Thing, Feel Like a Woman...man that was a hoot. This was 2007-2011. DISCO DONT DIE.
This movie is the bomb. I was in my early teens and was blown away. The music is amazing as well as the actors in this movie. Remebering the days of my youth when I heard WAR for the first time in my life on a Septa bus and was blown away. The only white girl who knew excellent music.
I wasn't even born when this song and movie came out. I watched it recently and I's become one of my favorite "day-in-the-lives of.." films (though "Clerks" will always be my favorite in that genre).

Unfortunately, i was stuck in major traffic today and couldn't make it to the car wash. I did manage to dance my way out of a non-fatal car-wreck after hearing this, however. Love you Old Skul Jamz for making my weekend! Brazos desde Denver, CO, EU
I was in the sixth-grade--wishing I was in the twelveth grade--when this song and movie came out. All could do was wait around the radio hoping WBLS, or 98.7 KISS FM, to play this song. Feeling outstanding when this song would finally play.
Living in Los Angeles California with the drought a car wash is a memory. If we don't get substantial rain soon the car wash will be closed down and we will only have this song to look back on.
Una canción que cuando empieza ya no puedes dejar de bailar con buenas voces bien conjuntadas y una música 🎶 excelente una maravilla de la música disco 👌 con mucha calidad colo era habitual en esos seis fantastica😊❤❤❤❤
Wow! about a hundred people seriously need their car washed. Who in the hell would give a thumbs down to this sweet jam??
they probably couldn't find the downbeat
Enemies of freedom, that’s who.
Somebody who definitely hates life would thumbs down this.

I remember someone playing this song on a bus in L.A.
Everyone was slapping to it.
I witnessed this at a local Guitar Center. It was surreal, with people literally dancing in the aisles!
same thing in philly in 1983!!
Me too in a subway train in cologne germany during the 1980s
It’s a great song to clean house too
Did you mean "Clapping" ?
My all-time favorite intro to a song. Love how it starts with the hand claps and adds the bass, guitar, and disco beat later!
Memphis Soul Stew - may be your runner up then. it builds in a similar way, be it to very different yet not less awesom results. :))
As for a song to the opening titles of a movie: this is hard to beat
The best!
Definitely not Memphis Soul Stew.... obviously and apparent Northern/Western funk/disco.
That intro is pure 70s groove....feel that funk in your veins!!!
YES, YES, YES brings back so many GREAT MEMORIES!!!!!!!!! Thank you for the memories!!!!!
I miss funk music. This is great stuff. No computers.
huge cars, with big block V8's, huge afros, huge music, so glad I remember the 70's... what a simpler, funkier time!!!

I wasn't even born when this song and movie came out. I watched it recently and I's become one of my favorite "day-in-the-lives of.." films (though "Clerks" will always be my favorite in that genre).
The clapping part on the intro was my track team’s “get ready” ritual before a race.

Hey now. One of the best songs ever!
Solamente de la historia quedó el recuerdo esa si fue musica de discoteque De los años 70
Unfortunately, i was stuck in major traffic today and couldn't make it to the car wash. I did manage to dance my way out of a non-fatal car-wreck after hearing this, however. Love you Old Skul Jamz for making my weekend! Brazos desde Denver, CO, EU
The very best of Disco!
I was in the sixth-grade--wishing I was in the twelveth grade--when this song and movie came out. All could do was wait around the radio hoping WBLS, or 98.7 KISS FM, to play this song. Feeling outstanding when this song would finally play.
I love this freaking film! One of the very best!
Miss the late Great George Carlin!
I feel Lucky to have Known the 70s
There was Sooooo Much Soul & Funk!!!

Man one of the greatest songs that ever was written Carwash I work at the carwash and we play it everyday still in 2019
Living in Los Angeles California with the drought a car wash is a memory. If we don't get substantial rain soon the car wash will be closed down and we will only have this song to look back on.
