Reviews Customer Reviews for Car Wash Original Motion Picture Soundtrack      Disco, Soul & Funk at its best      Rating:      It doesn't matter if you haven't seen the movie. The actual motion picture was done after the sound track. An amazing assembling of inspired top notch musicians is the base for one of the best pop music studio recordings ever. A high energy disco, soul and funk groove will guarantee you a sound listening experience - and if you feel like, dancing as well. Get ready and go!     Customer Reviews for Car Wash Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Cd      The Thrill of the seventies      Rating:      You have probably heard the main title "Car Wash" which has quite recently appeared on a Disney Cartoon. The whole CD brings not only the fun of the balck music of the early seventies, it also gives you a good example of how to explore the guitar pedal effects. Besides the funky rhythm you will also recognize the brass presence in most of the songs so creating a typical atmosphere of those years which still shows energy and fun even thirty-something years after. This is a musical history lesson for the young listeners and musicians. A.Carlos Editorial Reviews for Car Wash Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Audio Cd      Amazon.com      If Car Wash looks and feels like a 97-minute music video, there's good reason for it. Lacking anything resembling a workable script, screenwriter Joel Schumacher (yes, him--funny how things don't change, isn't it?) enlisted Motown veteran Norman Whitfield to compose a batch of songs that would, in effect, "drive" the film. It's clear from the finished film that Schumacher never overcame his writer's block, but Whitfield more than met his end of the bargain, compiling a soundtrack that yielded three top 10 singles, and a musical oeuvre that Rose Royce is still milking to this day. Car Wash succeeds by way of its mass appeal. Whitfield forwent the parochial, if classic, Motown Sound, and incorporated elements of rock, disco, and blaxploitation-esque incidental music, resulting in a meaty--and marketable--party record. Whitfield casts Rose Royce as the new Sly and the Family Stone, and though they don't quite fill those shoes, it's a blast to hear them try. --Matt Hanks
