Boombox 12 Electro Funk & Deep Disco
Rose Royce used to play with Motown artist Edwin Starr and consisted of former members of studio band The Undisputed Truth. They became famous for the Norman Whitfield-produced soundtrack to the Richard Pryor movie 'Car Wash'. With its hand-clapping, funky intro, exciting vocals and the band's great performance, the title track became one of the biggest disco songs ever, leaping to #1 on the pop and soul charts. Fortunately, Rose Royce turned out to be neither a one-hit-wonder, nor just a disco band. The group's follow-up album, ‘Rose Royce II: In Full Bloom’, produced two Top Ten singles, ‘Do Your Dance’ and ‘Ooh Boy’. It also included ‘Wishing on a Star’, which for Rose Royce was a top-10 hit only in the UK. It became notable elsewhere through its cover versions, including The Cover Girls' Top Ten single in 1992.
