Rose Royce - Best Love 1982 HQ- RARE CLASSIC VIDEO!
The Los Angeles-based group comprised Henry Garner (drums), Terral "Terry" Santiel (congas), Lequeint "Duke" Jobe (bass), Michael Moore (saxophone), Gwen Dickey (lead vocals), Kenny Copeland (trumpet, lead vocals), Kenji Brown (guitar, lead vocals), Freddie Dunn (trumpet), and Michael Nash (keyboards). The group began in the early 1970s, when members of several backup bands from the Watts and Inglewood areas of Los Angeles united under the name Total Concept Unlimited. In 1973, this collective toured England and Japan behind Motown soul star Edwin Starr. Starr introduced them to Norman Whitfield, Motown's 'psychedelic shaman' who was responsible for bringing a progressive funk-rock slant to the company, via such productions as Starr's "War", The Undisputed Truth's "Smiling Faces Sometimes" and The Temptations "Papa Was A Rolling Stone".[1]
Whitfield, after a decade at Motown, wanted to start a company of his own. He took the T.C.U. octet under his wing and signed them to his label. The group, now called Magic Wand, began working with Yvonne Fair and became the studio and concert band for The Undisputed Truth. During a tour stop in Miami, Undisputed Truth leader Joe Harris stumbled upon a singer named Gwen Dickey, then a member of a local group called The Jewels. Harris informed Whitfield of his discovery and Dickey was flown to Los Angeles to audition. In Dickey, Whitfield found the ingredient he felt was missing in Magic Wand: a charismatic female singer. He gave her the stage name Rose Norwalt. The original band lineup, now complete, prepared their debut album.
During this time Whitfield was contacted by film director Michael Schultz, fresh from the success of his first feature Cooley High. Schultz offered Whitfield the opportunity to score his next picture Car Wash. Whitfield would utilize the film to launch his new group, and began composing music based on script outlines. He and the band visited the film set, soaking up the atmosphere. This was one of the rare instances in Hollywood in which the music was composed concurrently with the picture instead of after the fact. In the spirit of the soundtrack, the band's name was changed one final time to 'Rose Royce'. The name not only referenced the movie's automotive theme, but it also placed Gwen "Rose" Dickey, front and center. Further, it hinted at a touch of class the band strove to bring to 1970s soul-funk.[2]
The movie Car Wash and the soundtrack were great successes, bringing the group national fame. Released in late 1976, the soundtrack featured three Billboard R&B Top Ten singles: "Car Wash," "I Wanna Get Next to You," and "I'm Going Down." The first of these was also a number one single on the Billboard popular music charts, and "I Wanna Get Next to You" reached number ten.

Rose Royce was a true OG from the get!
Probably the best disco group there ever was. All songs were great. Everything fits in their songs. That arrangement is so funky. I have listened to this song probably 1000 times and keeps making me happy.

It was not a disco group. It was a funk & R&B Band.
One of the great bands producing feelgood music in that era. Love them always!

Ouvir uma obra de arte que é esta música dá um aperto no coração,pois sinto que o tempo levou tudo de bom que a música tinha. Uma obra prima desta e hoje tenhamos que conviver com porcarias de todos os gêneros.

The 80s American black music and before were definitely from another level or dimension.as a musician we can compared music todays with that time because we don't even come close to that level anymore. 🎼🎹
I have already included the band in my personal mp3 and mp4 files of about 1.000 songs that cover mellow and disco only MOTOWN stuff. Thanks for posting it. Exellent song.

+MultiMrMiles wtih all due respect, this mindset is unhealthy, there is quality art and music in each generation, when folks comment on every 'old school' video that 'they dont make music like this anymore' it just makes you look unwilling to allow new art to engage you. not to mention your parents said the exact same thing about 'your music' when you were a kid, don't perpetuate the cycle

I spend nights awake how to track this, I had the song in my head, I found it. Wonderful! Love the 80's! One song I looked for also, for like ever, was Rotation from Herb Alpert!
Excelente, gracias!!
Le funk, le seul, l'unique de mes années 80. J'avais également adoré le titre : " Love me right now "
One of the best song ever
Very Nice!
