"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]

It has since been used as the inspiration for the title of the film Roll Bounce, and appears on its soundtrack.
