Her voice was absolutely INCREDIBLE. My favorite RR song. Now I Wanna get next to you was my HS BF &my Slow Jam. We went together from Freshman year (mine he was a Senior) to the Summer after I graduated
I wasn’t born til ‘85 but I know this music and the movie bc my mom. 70’s/80’s soul and funk was the best! And I love the cars! And Richard Pryor. My mom loved him and Carlin.
the fact that this song is still being used just goes to prove how good this song was. With it coming out in 1976. Then Mary J. Blige in 1994. Then Cam'Ron's Oh Boy in 2002. And now Mahlia's What you did, in 2019! So good. I love music
I'm turning 64 and I had this album. I never get tired of this heart felt real Soul music. This would have been a great song to have in the original Sparkle. Could you see Ms. Lonette Mckee aka Sister pouring her hear out singing this ? This is the real deal Soul music and no body today can come close . Like the late great Soul artist Tammi Terrell sang ,Ain't Nothing Like The Real Thing Baby!
Pure Gold! This to me is one of the best movie sound tracks ever! Car Wash, was a cool movie, but Rose Royce made it for me with all their tracks! Just love it to the max!
My favourite song on the"Car Wash" soundtrack, and every one of those songs are AWESOME!!! Had to buy the soundtrack AND the movie, they are both phenomenal!!!
Good for you. And Im guessing more like 95 % of today's generation got no use for music like this. You're probably in high school now so you lead someone in your era around to music like this. Go girl. God bless + go get that education
+Lola Chanel Love your 'baby doll' straight forward stare. If you are planning a future in modeling, I wish you well. I think you have what it takes...(Hope Tyra Banks and her show crosses paths with you).
Leo55BabyBoomer Thank you very much for the love!! Been doing a little modeling here and there, ..print work and runway. Thanks again, appreciate the encouragement.
It's not a cliche to say they don't make them like this anymore, because they truly don't. Much older now, but good music reminds me of being a kid growing up listening to my radio hearing great songs like this all day long.
Rose Royce are a dynamically soul group and for me I'm going down is so superb. The sweet tones of Sister Gwen Dickey says it all and uplifting she is. Rose Royce are a fine soul group that brought so many classics and this one is the best.
Just when you think you're all the way down....that pause, - then Gwen's Sweet-Lovely-Emotionally True Voice....takes you further down to a place to do some precious introspective self-analysis. - Beautiful! --- M.S.A.
Yes, this is the original- once you had heard this first, ad I did in 1976, with Gwen Dickie. 17 yrs old when she did this !! You only then understand. It’s hard to beat the originals. ❤️🔥❤️
The shame of it all is that the radio stations for whatever reason only plays MJB's version. It has been years since I heard Rose Royce's version on the radio
I'll take your word for it. I've never heard MJB's version. I was remembering what I heard on the radio in the car going to school in the mid-1980s. This is it and as great as as I remember it. 😀
I've watched this too many times!! But she hit a Patti Labelle at the end, priceless!!! Every singer that has song this song is shouting her praises!!! Tear it up babe!!! She hit it so different than the original which is amazing also!!!
Im not so sure......On the rare occasions that something really good gets made, it goes nowhere. Insane musical talent isn't appreciated like it used to be
@@jeffwatts1126@jeffwatts1126 depends what you're looking at. The charts are filled with highly marketing mass appealing music. But undoubtedly Jungle back on 74 remix for example is a great soul tune that's getting lots of attention. Good music still travels round just not on the charts
Legendary group and voice (Gwen Dickey). With gratitude for your pioneering sound. Hip/Hop/Rap and R&B, in fact music owes a depth to your music/voice. We need to give these great Soul artists their flowers while alive rather than waiting till after they are dead. God knows some of these greedy record exec's aren't. A lot of these pioneers dont get the credit they truly deserve. In fact this current generation still "sampling" your music- see Mahlia/Ella Mai song.
The emotion in this girl's voice, is palpable. The instruments, the backups, the chorus... perfection! My mom used to play this & tons of Motown, I'm so grateful.

I mean true but tell me this how often do you listen to Mary’s music how does it make you feel. It don’t matter if it’s a remake 🤣🤣 Mary made it her own she put her own feelings and dedication to do it thick about that 🤨😂😁
Time on my hands since you've been away boy I ain't got no plans No, no, no, no. And the sound of the rain, against my windowpain. Is slowly, slowly driving me insane. Boy, I'm going down I'm going down 'Cause you aint around, baby. My whole world's turning upside down Sleep don't come easy. Boy, please believe me. Since you've been gone, everything's going wrong.

i wonder how many people out there still believe this is mary j. blige's song. if i didn't like Rose Royce i probably would be one of the ones who didn't know either. I've listened to this more than my brother and sister combined and i was born in 1984.
I Love This Song Because i can remember my ma ma singing this with her heart and i was lil then as a 33 yr old man child now i think aw mother ill always be around for you and our fam ... happy memory
What the ...!! I had no idea Mary J covered this song! I was a teen when Mary’s version came out in the 90s and it took this long for me to find out , IT WAS A COVER! Like to the tee. Still love it. Goes to show your never too old to learn something new.
This song is the BIDNESS!!! But, MJB took it to a WHOLE OTHER LEVEL!!!! She made me BUST MY SPEAKERS!!! And I was only in high school when it came out.
A parte final da música, em que ela chora e de uma magia que não tem igual, e de arrepiar o talento dessa geração de cantores da Montown nunca mais teremos uma geração tão incrível como foi essa geração entre os anos 60s/70s/80s
100 years from now this song will still be a hit
300...
Timeless
500
Damn Right.
To you lost generations out there, this is the ORIGINAL Group, Shalom
💯💯💯💯💯
I listen to this original before the MJB version.
Listening and still sounding so good in 2024!!
I didn’t even know this was Rose Royce song… But I think MJB did it nicely. BUT OMG THERE IS NOTHING LIKE THE DAMN ORIGINAL. 😇😇😇
Agreed
rolls* royce
NOBODY SINGS THIS SONG THIS WAY BUT THE THE ORIGINAL!!!!!!!!
You are right. Thanks to the brilliant composing, arranging and producing skills of Norman Withfield!
@ D R... This Song Was Made Solely For Her...!!
Yess
Her voice was absolutely INCREDIBLE. My favorite RR song. Now I Wanna get next to you was my HS BF &my Slow Jam. We went together from Freshman year (mine he was a Senior) to the Summer after I graduated
Okay, mm hmmmm!
Damn this original version hits a little different especially with her breaking down into tears talking. Whooo! Classic, timeless
@Andy Vasquez true!! Her tone, phrasing and emotion - this production is, amazing!! Whew ~
I wasn’t born til ‘85 but I know this music and the movie bc my mom. 70’s/80’s soul and funk was the best! And I love the cars! And Richard Pryor. My mom loved him and Carlin.

Btw, I was born in 2/28/2002
And So Now What Trey Songz Back Home In 2020
Also dreamville coming down
Also the beginning of 10 seconds by Jasmine Sullivan
This song was our song😢 truly miss my wonderful protective husband 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I'm turning 64 and I had this album. I never get tired of this heart felt real Soul music. This would have been a great song to have in the original Sparkle. Could you see Ms. Lonette Mckee aka Sister pouring her hear out singing this ? This is the real deal Soul music and no body today can come close . Like the late great Soul artist

Pure Gold! This to me is one of the best movie sound tracks ever! Car Wash, was a cool movie, but Rose Royce made it for me with all their tracks! Just love it to the max!
Agree
They only had a couple of weeks to put it together too
This is how you sing a song, kids.
I got to see Rose Royce in concert here in Albuquerque, New Mexico back in 1975, I still have the t-shirt I bought! Love Them Still.!
That's great Paula, make sure you put it in some plastic wrap... that stuff the cleaners use.
I was there too! Best of times. 😊
Her voice is pure HEAVEN
This group was ahead of its time. Band . Singer. Production. On point.
Mary's version had more pain, but this is my favorite because it has sadness. I rather be sad than in pain.
Carla Linton. My Black Hip Hop Soul Sista Mary J Bliges version is the best.
@@CarlaLinton-pj5jn This song hits home.
Can't nobody sing this song like this. Much LUV on this one.
Mary J Blige San sing the shit out of this
Gwen owned this song but Mart did it no harm fr
This reminds me of the black family before the 90’s! close neighbors, good food, music, neighborhood sports, church...🙌🏾💖
I think you mean family. Before all this craziness.
.....,and ass whoopin's when ur hardhead lil' ass got out of line.
The best track from the movie Car Wash and an enduring classic!
ruclips.net/video/5EO1nfSCKrU/видео.htmlsi=PzBcVsZvbYMSSMHM
the intro bass is EVERYTHING!!
Part how she said baby after im going down i feel that on a deep level as a women
Never really paid attention before, thanks for pointing that out.
My favourite song on the"Car Wash" soundtrack, and every one of those songs are AWESOME!!! Had to buy the soundtrack AND the movie, they are both phenomenal!!!
Kelly Weaver Amen!
Yeah that was a awesome album set
Eu
No one can touch her blistering authenticity.With a voice like Gwen's, you can pull off minimalist arrangements with force.
17 years old with a voice like that...just unreal.
Wow, 1975, seems like only yesterday, a fantastic song that really tugs at the heartstrings
My Lord...this is the best! Native LA girl and this was (and is) our soundtrack.....love this!
Rolls Royce and Mary here both deserve golden globes and hall of fame gift they sang it beautiful.
I'm in middle school, half the kids don't appreciate this type of music. This is the original, Mary Js version is still nice.
Good for you. And Im guessing more like 95 % of today's generation got no use for music like this. You're probably in high school now so you lead someone in your era around to music like this. Go girl. God bless + go get that education
Same I love this song 12 years old
Word‼️it’s good to know I’m not the only one who appreciates this kinda music
@@MylesClif
No you are not trust me
Devan Shepard duh Ik that🙄
1:54 that crying part always gets to me!💜😩
When I listen to those that cover this classic, they are missing that vulnerability that she gave this song so effortlessly🌹🌹🌹
If you're going to sing this song, you have to be willing to bare your soul, if not, don't mess with it.
Focusing on hiting the notes instead of th feelings is why nobodu can touch the original
Love her voice, you feel where she is! Real music!
Right
+Lola Chanel Love your 'baby doll' straight forward stare. If you are planning a future in modeling, I wish you well. I think you have what it takes...(Hope Tyra Banks and her show crosses paths with you).
Leo55BabyBoomer Thank you very much for the love!! Been doing a little modeling here and there, ..print work and runway. Thanks again, appreciate the encouragement.
+Lola Chanel Love her voice and your stare.
Thank you!! Her voice is so clear! Love it!
It's not a cliche to say they don't make them like this anymore, because they truly don't. Much older now, but good music reminds me of being a kid growing up listening to my radio hearing great songs like this all day long.
They really don’t! Was raised on timeless music like this. Love music from late 70s early 80s ❤❤
If you ever lost a real good man...listen to this and relate. Rolls Royce nailed this!
also (love don't live here anymore) is a great song after a break up
Brenda Kay Williams lol
@@EdMoran Jimmy Nail's version was good too.
They don't make em like this anymore!!!!
Rose Royce are a dynamically soul group and for me I'm going down is so superb.
The sweet tones of Sister Gwen Dickey says it all and uplifting she is.
Rose Royce are a fine soul group that brought so many classics and this one is the best.
broke curfew to see car wash with my high school sweet heart she held my hand the whole movie
Just when you think you're all the way down....that pause, - then Gwen's Sweet-Lovely-Emotionally True Voice....takes you further down to a place to do some precious introspective self-analysis. - Beautiful! --- M.S.A.
How long did she stay with the group
And very precious
And very precious
The difference between yesterday's lyrics and today's lyrics, this is classy unlike today's music. Today going down has a totally different meaning.
Yes, this is the original- once you had heard this first, ad I did in 1976, with Gwen Dickie. 17 yrs old when she did this !! You only then understand. It’s hard to beat the originals.

They hardly play anything from the 70s on the radio anymore
The best of music. I am very blessed to have grown up during the best decades - 60's-20's
1975 and i'm still going down in 2019!
I bet you are..😋
😂
😂😂😂😂‼️
Nice 👍
Put the car wash album on and you got a house party
Right on Asha. This IS the original, and despite many great covers, this is dynamite.
I've watched this too many times!! But she hit a Patti Labelle at the end, priceless!!! Every singer that has song this song is shouting her praises!!! Tear it up babe!!! She hit it so different than the original which is amazing also!!!
Just watched Beyonce singing this masterpiece but ROSE you are the only one for this song
Agreed. This doesn’t need to be redone by ANYONE.
This song could be released today and be a hit... Perfect
Thought it was just me that thought this
@ MBrooks they don't make music like this anymore, and by the way you've got a beautiful profile picture.
Im not so sure......On the rare occasions that something really good gets made, it goes nowhere. Insane musical talent isn't appreciated like it used to be

My, oh my! Gwen, you sang this song. 👏🏿👊🏾💯🖤♥️👏🏿👊🏾♥️🖤💯v
Original song sung by an outstanding group. Can’t duplicate it.
Love the movie Car Wash. 💗
It’s on BOUNCE in the East Coast right now. ☮️

I love this song i was 17 now im 65 love it
PURE MAGIC.....GREATEST VOCALS EVER!!....Favorite song on this soundtrack......70s BEST MUSIC ❤❤
sometimes songs randomly pop into my head. then we revisit gems like this. hello, friends.
As i hear this i realize even more how amazing mary j. Is . She did this song and didnt ruin it. She did it very closely to the original .
The emotion in this girl's voice, is palpable. The instruments, the backups, the chorus... perfection! My mom used to play this & tons of Motown, I'm so grateful.
An real o.g. song our moms would play back to back.
Love both versions ! It's just perfect 🖤
Dayuuum !! I love the she sings !!! Especially THIS song !!! Gives me shivers !!!!!!!
Mary's version is nice but the point is it's not the original. The point is its a remake. Kudos to Rose Royce, the originals!

If you only new, love is incredible when you find love--just make sure it,s love and nothing but love
Great song. Never gets old. I remember listening to this song on the radio. Loved the 70s music.
Time on my hands since you've been away boy
I ain't got no plans
No, no, no, no.
And the sound of the rain, against my windowpain.
Is slowly, slowly driving me insane.
Boy, I'm going down
I'm going down
'Cause you aint around, baby.
My whole world's turning upside down
Sleep don't come easy.
Boy, please believe me.
Since you've been gone, everything's going wrong.
Why'd you have to say goodbye?
Look what you've done to me
I can't stop these tears from falling from my eyes.
Oh Baby,
I'm going down.
I'm going down
'Cause you ain't around, baby.
My whole world's upside down.
You ain't around. Going down.
Ooh, Baby. I'm in love.
Going down. Oh, Oh, Oh,
I-I- I'm going down.
I'm going down.
'Cause you aint around, baby.
My whole worlds upside down
Going down, going down
Oh, babe.
Don't want believe.
If i cant give my love to you
Im so blue.
Going down.
Going down
You ain't around.
Baby, baby.
Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry.
What did I do wrong?
Please forgive me, baby, and come on home.
Going down.
Going down.
Going down
“My whooollleee woooorrlld’s UPside down” - I love the way she sings that part.
People use to clown me for loving this music and I was ashamed but now who cares. I love it
One of the best songs ever made
Black love babe....can’t nobody and I mean nobody do it like us you have to have melanin to be able to feel this!!!!!!
Thank you CarWash. The chorus hits like a dump truck🤘

Still a badass song! 2019 and still bumping this
IM HERE CUZ I NEVER KNEW ROSE WAS THE ORIGINATOR OF THIS SONG🙃
Angel H oh yes,she’s THE ORIGINAL!!
Who did you think first sung the song?
Warren Holly probably thought it was mary j blige
Gwen Dickey is her name. And they/she was/is *Outstanding (girl you knock me out)!* en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gwen_Dickey
Just like all of America's youth , they think this song is from Mary j.
i wonder how many people out there still believe this is mary j. blige's song. if i didn't like Rose Royce i probably would be one of the ones who didn't know either. I've listened to this more than my brother and sister combined and i was born in 1984.
I admit i'm one of the stupid people who only found out today , shame on me.
Second half of the video: GraigLewis Band - by far the best version of this song I've ever heard!
So can u imagine how PISSED my generation became when we heard Mary J.messing with this masterpiece ?
I suppose in a way it's a compliment to the song but it is a shame most people credit mary j ( who i ♥ ) and not rose royce. Thank god for youtube xxx
+Amanda j I looooove this song!!!!❤️💕💕😍😍😍
unbelievably beautiful song!!!
Omg! I love this song!!!!!

I love this classic!!
That violin (at least I think it's a violin) right around 2:23 in the breakdown is wearing me all the way out!!!!
That's a guitar, using a wah wah pedal.
Man Rose Royce was The Real Deal!! Too bad this Type of Soul Music don't exist anymore😧🤦🏽♂️
The song is awesome
I Love This Song Because i can remember my ma ma singing this with her heart and i was lil then as a 33 yr old man child now i think aw mother ill always be around for you and our fam ... happy memory
Saw them live in Saint Martin 1995 at the 70's Soul Festival. LOVED their performance!
What the ...!! I had no idea Mary J covered this song! I was a teen when Mary’s version came out in the 90s and it took this long for me to find out , IT WAS A COVER! Like to the tee. Still love it. Goes to show your never too old to learn something new.
Same.
This song is the BIDNESS!!! But, MJB took it to a WHOLE OTHER LEVEL!!!! She made me BUST MY SPEAKERS!!! And I was only in high school when it came out.
mary should have left this alone cant be duplicated the music is priceless
Ohh I love it !!! Killer bass line and SOULFUL !! Song !!
Love this song 😊❤🍷👍🏾
