- Rose Royce is a Grammy-nominated American soul band. The Los Angeles-based group composed of Henry Garner (drums), Terral "Terry" Santiel (congas), Lequeint "Duke" Jobe (bass), Michael Moore (saxophone), Rose Norwalt (real name Gwen Dickey, lead vocals), Kenny Copeland (trumpet, lead vocals), Kenji Brown (guitar, lead vocals), Freddie Dunn (trumpet), and Michael Nash (keyboards) — was actually formed by Copeland and Garner. Both were preparing for graduation from high school, and contemplating their careers. Joined by Dunn and Moore, they decided to enter the music business under the name Total Concept Unlimited (and later as Magic Wand). The group's association with Starr enabled them to interact with numerous music industry personalities. One in particular was Motown producer Norman Whitfield. Whitfield gradually became associated with the group by hiring them for recording sessions; the group also worked with Yvonne Fair, the Undisputed Truth, and the Temptations through Whitfield's influence. After a couple of years of seasoning, the group began production on their debut album under Whitfield's supervision. Also during this time, MCA Records was seeking an artist for the soundtrack to the movie Car Wash. Whitfield convinced executives that the band was more than competent for the job. So the material that Whitfield had assembled for the group's debut album became the soundtrack's material. The movie Car Wash and the soundtrack were great successes, and they also gave the group, now known as Rose Royce, 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. The group's follow-up album, Rose Royce II: In Full Bloom, produced two Top Ten singles, "Do Your Dance" and "Ooh Boy". During 1978, they released their third album, entitled Rose Royce III: Strikes Again!, and it featured "I'm in Love (And I Love the Feeling)" and "Love Don't Live Here Anymore". Both singles entered the Billboard R&B Top Five. The group followed with a series of successes that scored the charts, but never gained the chart status that their previous songs did. They became very popular in UK and remain a marquee attraction there.
- Rose Royce war eine US-amerikanische Soul-, Funk- und Disco-Band, die von Motown-Musikproduzent und Songwriter Norman Whitfield (am bekanntesten für seine Arbeit mit den Temptations) zusammengestellt worden war. Die zunächst aus 8 Mitgliedern bestehende Gruppe wurde zu Beginn der 1970er Jahre in Los Angeles gegründet. Zu Beginn nannte man sich „Total Concept Unlimited“ und trat als Begleitband für Edwin Starr sowie als Studiomusiker für The Temptations und The Undisputed Truth auf. Mitglieder waren Kenji Brown, Kenny Copeland, Freddie Dunn, Henry Garner, Lequient „Duke Jobe, Michael Moore, Victor Nix und Gerrai Santiel. 1976 kam die Sängerin Gwen Dickey neu hinzu, und der Bandname wurde in Rose Royce geändert. Die Band spielte den von Whitfield produzierten Soundtrack für die Musikkomödie Car Wash ein, und das Titelstück wurde der größte Erfolg der Gruppe und ein Millionenseller. Gwen Dickey gelang 1998 erneut der Sprung in die US-Charts: Gemeinsam mit Jay-Z nahm sie eine neue Version von „Wishing On A Star“ auf und kam damit auf Platz 13 der UK-Charts. Das Lied „Love Don’t Live Here Anymore“ wurde 1985 ein weiterer Erfolg für Madonna (enthalten auf dem Album Like a Virgin).

- Rose Royce - американський соул, фанк і диско гурт утворений 1973 року під назвою Total Concept Limited. До складу гурту ввійшли; Кенджі Браун (Kenji Brown) — гітара; Віктор Нікс (Victor Nix) — клавішні; Кенні Копіленд (Kenny Copeland) — труба; Фредді Данн (Freddie Dunn) — труба; Майкл Мур (Michael Moore) — саксофон; Ліквайнт "Дюк" Джоб (Liquient "Duke" Jobe) - бас; Хенрі Гарнер (Henry Garner) - ударні та Террей Сентіл (Terrai Santiel) — ударні. Під назвою Total Concept Limited музиканти акомпанували Едвіну Стару (Edwin Starr), а незабаром, змінивши назву на Magic Wand, почали співпрацювати з Айвонн Фейр (Yvonne Fair). Гурт також допомагав у записах The Undisputed Truth та The Temptations, однак після приєднання вокалістки Гвен Дікі (Gwen Dickey) зайнявся виключно індивідуальною діяльністю. Назву Rose Royce музиканти взяли собі 1976 року під час запису музики до фільму "Car Wash" (режисер Майкл Шульц). Платівка з головною музичною темою до цього фільму здобула статус "платинового диску". Інші дві теми потрапили до першої десятки ритм-енд-блюзового чарту, а незабаром гуртом зацікавився відомий продюсер Норман Вітфілд. Записані 1978 року на його фірмі ліричні твори "Wishing On A Stan та "Love Don't Live Here", незважаючи на прохолодний прийом у США, досягли третьої позиції у британському чарті. Подібна доля випала наступного року твору "Is It Love You're After". А вінцем британської кар'єри гурту став успіх 1980 року збірки "Greatest Hits". Наступні записи Rose Royce потрапляли лише у нижню частину чартів.
