Car Wash (Original Soundtrack)

Car Wash is notable not only for it's cast (including Richard Pryor and George Carlin), but also because the soundtrack (written by Motown producer Norman Whitfield and performed by the newly-formed Rose Royce) was released in advance of the movie, with the first single (title song) reaching #1 on the Billboard charts the same week that the film was released; the 2nd single, "I Want to Get Next to You," made it to Billboard's Top 10 National Pop Singles chart. Reissue features digital remastering and dialogue from the film.
