"Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll" is a song by the American funk group Vaughan Mason & Crew that capitalized on the roller disco fad of the late 1970s. Released in the summer of 1979, the single reached number 5 on the US Billboard Hot Soul Singles and number 38 on Billboard’s Disco Top 100 chart in 1980. It was inspired by the bassline in the song "Good Times" by Chic, also released in summer 1979.[1]
