Everything about this is just perfection, the song ,the group, the outfits, the dance routine, the singer. I know every generation says it but............
This is the song that made Rose Royce my fave R&B AND Disco group-for us Gen X’er’s growing up on MTV and 80’s radio hearing samples aplenty if you can imagine the first time I heard this 8 years ago and thought it was the S’Express theme…
Quite possibly the greatest intro/build up ever - brings everything in layer by layer: electronica, brass, strings etc. This stuff will never be matched.
Possibly one of the greatest disco tracks of its time and when you’ve danced to this track as a teenager then you’ll appreciate where I’m coming from . . I’m 64 now and I’m so glad I lived through this fantastic decade of superb music.
I had to give you a 'like', just for your handle alone. The 1970's are arguably the best decade of music that I have ever heard. It's really sad this quality of music didn't make it pass the early 1980's.
I would walk into the local club (Disco) and the DJ (“Spike” who later became a radio show host in Australia) and he would play this tune with “Good evening Mr Dormer. This one’s for you”. I felt like a million dollars. Thanks man.
The Rolls Royce of disco! If you don't fall in love with this track you don't like the 70s soundscape. Timeless and infectious, just love that rythmn and funkalicious intro . What a group! My childhood soundtrack
I love this song.I bought it as a single when it came out,out of my pocket money .Gwens vocals are utterly beautiful with those heart felt lyrics.The whole band were superb and a blessing.She was a pretty woman baby!
I know exactly what you mean. Just check her out performing “Car Wash” with the band on Soul Train, she really had the moves! So sad about her accident in 2010 but she’s obviously a fighter & still performs to this day.
I really like this one too. I don't understand how "Car Wash" is the song that is most associated with Rose Royce. This band goes so much deeper than "Car Wash". There's "Ooh Boy", "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" and "Do Your Dance".
The wired thing was one of their other hits become a hit again in remix form. The Song was car wash. Is it love you after was on the b side of it the year was 88or 89.
Ladislaus Bonita amazing how a song that came out in 1976 that being car wash and the movie also is confusing so many people think it came out in the 80's
Is it love you're after wasn't on the b side of Car Wash ( water was the b-side or the long version or Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is ) Is It love you're after is from 1979 , Car Wash from 1976.
What a vibe ! the glorious 70's will NEVER be beaten for every genre of music.those of us who lived it knew it was a special era
So right ❤
If you're listening to this right now rest easy, you have impeccable taste.
retro man classic 70s dance hit hq sound 😛😛😛😛😛 ❤💋
Everything about this is just perfection, the song ,the group, the outfits, the dance routine, the singer. I know every generation says it but............
Except we're not all in the audience watching them live right now - but I suppose you can't have everything ...
Reminds me of being 21...and realising that I had the world at my feet......it was such a feeling......
July 2024 who's here listening 🎶
🎺🎷🎺📯..🎶🎶 🙋🏾
Estou escutando em agosto 25 de 2024, e estou adorando! São Paulo Brasil.......❤❤❤❤❤❤
I'm here.❤
Absolute class, unfortunately, we will never hear class again
Theme from S'express is (sort of) a cover and totally banging. Listen to it, Geoff.👍 Sort of like " Everything's gone green" is a cover of "A Forest".
This is the song that made Rose Royce my fave R&B AND Disco group-for us Gen X’er’s growing up on MTV and 80’s radio hearing samples aplenty if you can imagine the first time I heard this 8 years ago and thought it was the S’Express theme…
Rose Royce were my guilty secret when I was a punk.
Me too. I was 18 when this was out... amazing😊
Nice one fella
Quite possibly the greatest intro/build up ever - brings everything in layer by layer: electronica, brass, strings etc. This stuff will never be matched.
100% correct....truly incredible sound....with orchestration too......what an amazing time we had back in 1978...I was 20
Do you not feel the intro owes a nod to Isaac Hayes, Theme from Shaft?
Doesn't beat Barry Whites, "Loves Theme"...no way !!...but yes, awesome.
David Price it’s the best dance track ...ever ❣️
@@mikemcnulty520 I do, Mike - good shout. There's a generic sound there but - for me - this is the better rendition.
Soundtrack of a better world and time. The 1970s were full of life and creativity.
That intro has got to be one of the best ever. Fantastic track by a real class act - and don't get me started on the dancing ... Fab 💜
you know its also used in S'Express Theme
@@MrTruth111 I heard S'Express first when I was 14, but later on discovered the original. Just as good in it's own way.
Gwen Dickey sings and looks like an angel.....Killer tune....Amazing arrangement ! ...
yeah so gorgeous and sexy
Wait!
Is her name not Rose Royce?
@@APH1991 That's her real name and I think Rose Royce is the band's name.
Enjoy this trip.
And it is a trip.
Rose Royce oh fk magic the greatest ever
Possibly one of the greatest disco tracks of its time and when you’ve danced to this track as a teenager then you’ll appreciate where I’m coming from . . I’m 64 now and I’m so glad I lived through this fantastic decade of superb music.
Disco sounds better quietly sitted on a sofa 😂😂😂
Me too.
Everything about this song is just brilliant
Proper group, real musicians playing real instruments and the fabulous Gwen in the middle of it all looking like she's in charge and she surely is.
I had to give you a 'like', just for your handle alone. The 1970's are arguably the best decade of music that I have ever heard. It's really sad this quality of music didn't make it pass the early 1980's.
I actually get goosebumps whenever I hear this!!!
it does that to me.
Me too
Brilliant 💎 voice from our 70s
2023 just had the privilege to see Gwen Dickey arrive on the stage and still melt my heart with a voice from heaven Rolls Royce what a group
best intro to a song EVER
The rest of it ain’t bad either!
Zaaaligggg
thank you for one of the most beautiful songs of all time ❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹❤️
Positive energy music... could listen to this jewel for hours !
Love this!! The soul has been with them forever, some of us still learning to get our groove on!
This is fantastic. Love their costumes, dancing, the horns, her voice and smile.
I would walk into the local club (Disco) and the DJ (“Spike” who later became a radio show host in Australia) and he would play this tune with “Good evening Mr Dormer. This one’s for you”. I felt like a million dollars. Thanks man.
There is no end to the brilliance of this song.
Andrew Martin go to 3.51
Thought it was WOW when I first heard it 1979..still gives me the chills 43 years later 😍😍😍😍
The greatest decade of all for the sheer amount of different genre of music
Good old times 😊
Back in the days before rap, when black music was great music.
Gwen Dickey is such a beautiful, lovely and talented lady!!!!
What a beautiful woman.
Fabulous bit of music
The Rolls Royce of disco! If you don't fall in love with this track you don't like the 70s soundscape. Timeless and infectious, just love that rythmn and funkalicious intro . What a group! My childhood soundtrack
For anyone who's confused and who wasn't lucky to be alive in the 70s, this, my friends, is "Music"!
They were good times
you betcha !!!
Hell Yeah!!
Best decade for music
Absolutely dead right!
stupenda grazie felicità❤❤
This group recorded some gems.
Da discoteca 🤼
Ótima Música Embalos Da Discotheque

This woman's voice always brings a tear and a smile on my face at the same time. Tears of memories and a smile out of sweetness.... Have a nice day!
thats Gwenn Dickie...still performs...angel`s voice for sure!
@@fritshits65 Totally agree with you. So talented and beautiful, she is a master of her craft.
@@fritshits65No, not.
@@mattilatvala4164 100% sure , last album she was on ( Rainbow Connection 4 ) and its where this song comes from. Its definitely Gwen doing the vocals
@@fritshits65 Sorry I mixed the names. The next one was named Ricci. Dickie is best. I felt sooo old when I saw Dickie's recent performance.
God I love Gwen Dicky, the original and best female singer with Rose Royce, thank god I was young in the 60's and 70's, Gwrn was so beautiful ❤❤
What a beautiful voice she had. And outstanding arrangement too.
Thanks "Theme from S'Express" for bringing me here 😄
Oh my God,I wish to reborn in 70s.....😎
Listening to this in quarantined Melbourne May 2020!!! Thank God for music like this!!!!!!!!!!!
"S EXPRESS!"

The intro is terrific, I bet someone in the future will sampl... oh wait.
Oh how I loved this song as young UK teen. Songs like this cemented my love of lavish soulful productions from the states.
This song and all the bands dancing antics always makes me smile 😁 GWEN is the icing on the cake , STUNNING !
Great band, great music, great singer. Love it, i really do. Can't sit still in my chair. Have to MOVE

Would dance to this in Tiffany’s aged 17. Happy happy days
How in Gods name can this have only 138,192 views ?
Enjoy this trip....enjoy this trip...
TIMELESS CLASSIC
Obviously THE PROGRAM needs to continue.
Time capsule music
I never knew S Express sampled this song!
Has to be in the top ten from my life's soundtrack. Thank you.
The background footwork & coloured suits are fantastic!
I always loved this
I love it now
I will always love this
Simply a classic and timeless.
The Epitome of the disco era.
The perfect song, arrangement, singer, musicians, production, outfits, steps, movement, editing.....
One of the best horn cuts ever, used by everybody; s'express does it best!
Pure class. An era of great music in which Rose Royce (and Chic) stood out.
Sister sledge?
That S Xpress tripe sung properly!!
Defining track of the disco era; dance floor filler sung by a gorgeous girl with a great voice.
I love this song.I bought it as a single when it came out,out of my pocket money .Gwens vocals are utterly beautiful with those heart felt lyrics.The whole band were superb and a blessing.She was a pretty woman baby!
Gwen Dickey is simply gorgeous here. I had the hots for her back when this came out. What red bloodied man wouldn’t have? 😊
I know exactly what you mean. Just check her out performing “Car Wash” with the band on Soul Train, she really had the moves! So sad about her accident in 2010 but she’s obviously a fighter & still performs to this day.
The sounds and visual of this that just brings pleasure to life!! All of US!!
What an Intro ! If this song doesn’t get you up dancing, then sorry. You’re done !
Gwen Dickie! Wow!
Such a wonderful track, and if it were not for Rose Royce, S'Express would not have made the greatest house track of all time.
Enjoy this trip, and it is a trip!
The Theme From S-Express brought me here.
AMAZING !!!!!!!!!!!!
Pure class, when music was music!
The Theme From S’Express brought me here. Brilliant music give rise to other brilliant music.
Best music era ever still want to dance to this I'm 69 years old 😀
Takes me back to great times
Takes me back to weekends in Clackton early 80’s, £10 B and B. Happy days!!!!
This is without a doubt my most favorite song ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I really like this one too. I don't understand how "Car Wash" is the song that is most associated with Rose Royce. This band goes so much deeper than "Car Wash". There's "Ooh Boy", "Love Don't Live Here Anymore" and "Do Your Dance".
@@martyemmons1859 I totally agree!
Big tune. I love the horns. "Theme from S-Express" I knew since 1989 or so, but never knew it sampled this bomb.
The wired thing was one of their other hits become a hit again in remix form. The Song was car wash. Is it love you after was on the b side of it the year was 88or 89.
S-express high school 4 me
Ladislaus Bonita amazing how a song that came out in 1976 that being car wash and the movie also is confusing so many people think it came out in the 80's
Is it love you're after wasn't on the b side of Car Wash ( water was the b-side or the long version or Put Your Money Where Your Mouth Is ) Is It love you're after is from 1979 , Car Wash from 1976.
Apparently S-Express spent years trying to pay off all the royalties they owed for sampling this song!
stunning beauty rose Royce I love her and her voice is like silk ! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The production and arrangement on this song is unbelievably good. What days they were.
One of the best disco songs ever
first class phillysound performance ..one of my favorite bands of the 70's!
I was lucky enough to see them do this Live! magical..sing it Gwen!!
The 70s .... my time x
