Car Wash is a soundtrack double album by the Funk band Rose Royce. It is the soundtrack/film score to the 1976 hit comedy Car Wash starring Richard Pryor and George Carlin and also the debut album for Rose Royce. Although they had already recorded most of a non-soundtrack album prior to Car Wash, their producer Norman Whitfield insisted that they write the score for the film.^[1] The album was a major success, yielding three Billboard R&B Top Ten singles, "Car Wash", "I Wanna Get Next to You", and "I'm Going Down". The title track was also a number one single on the Billboard pop charts.

...a solid choice for funk and disco fans alike. -All Music Guide
