Gwen Dickey - Chat and full set

Available for 29 days

Gwen Dickey - from seventies R&B superstars Rose Royce - performs three songs together with The BBC Concert Orchestra, conducted and arranged by Jess Cox. Arguably best known for singing the song Car Wash - which sold over a million copies in United States alone - Gwen was also the voice behind Rose Royce hits like Love Don’t Live Here Anymore and Wishing On A Star. Rose Royce's debut album - also called 'Car Wash' - sold over two million copies worldwide, winning a Grammy Award along the way. Gwen went solo in the 1980s, and in recent years has treated us to brand new solo music, with the EP 'This Is Gwen Dickey' released in 2024. She still continues to thrill live audiences, and is playing the 'Soulstasia' festival in Reading on 14 August. Produced by BBC Audio for BBC Radio 2.
