Roller Disco Music??

[mixtape]

What are some good roller disco songs from the 70's? thanks :D
Anyone remember roller discos?

[Bernie]

There are many, but two come to mind...
"Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll" by Vaughan Mason and Crew
"Roller Boogie" by Voggue

[efunk_adelic]

I rollerskated to:


Let's All Chant - Michael Zager Band

[Mario]

Wow, roller disco!!!! Hadn't thought of that in ages!!! :lol: Believe it or not, I remember Peaches and Herb had a song out called: Roller Skatin' Mate...
Corn ball stuff by todays standards but boy did they play that over and over at our roller skating arena circa 1978!
Take Care...Mario

[Discovery]

Cher - "Hell on Wheels"
Martha Reeves - "Skating in the Streets"

How about "Roller Disco" or "Can you do it on skates" by Citi? :D
"Let's rollerskate" by Poussez

[Nano]

And how can we forget that monument of Seventies disco-flavored cinema: "Roller Boogie"! They even had a couple of Earth, Wind & Fire songs. 8)
I remember that movie dearly because at the time both rock and disco movies like "Tommy" or "SNF" (even "Fame"!) were exhibited for 18-and-olders only :evil: . "Roller Boogie" took that admission limit to the 14-and-older level, thus letting me in. :D

Chic's "Good Times" was a major roller disco song. ("Climb on the half-shelf and roller skate, roller skate")

"Boogie Wonderland" by Earth, Wind & Fire featuring The Emotions was another one. It was even featured on one of those roller disco movies, either Roller Boogie or Skatetown U.S.A., but I can remember which. Hope this helps.

One of my dancefloor faves:
NEW ROLLER DISCO DIP by Action feat. Laura Lee Mann
on Disc-Trophy Records.

Could anybody throw a light regarding the release date and
who they were? Was this a one-off?
I´m a bit at a loss on this one.

Chic's "Good Times" was a major roller disco song. ("Climb on the half-shelf and roller skate, roller skate")

I thought the line was "Clams on the half shell, and roller skates, roller skates"...

Did anyone here go to what must have been the most luxurious roller rink in the universe, the phenomenal Roxy of New York? Oh how we rolled there in style, past Diana Ross, past couples having cocktails around tables decorated with spotlit red roses, around and around while "Love Sensation" and "Give Me The Night" filled the air. What an ambience. Everyone was relaxed and smiling and having the greatest time - I used to call friends - collect - from there around midnight when it was early morning in Europe and scream: Quess where I am, can you hear the beats!?!

[DevP]

You might be right Graham_Start. It's been many years since I've read the lyrics for "Good Times" and so I may have forgotten what is actually said. :oops: I look into it. Thanks.

[DevP]

You were right about the lyrics Graham_Start. I checked it out at a lyrics site. Thanks for the correction.

In quoting Sophia of the Golden Girls, [i]"My God, I have left brain cells up and down the eastern seaboard." :lol:

One of you older members, please tell me what was roller skating disco? I wasnt around then to see or do it. People surely didnt bring skates into the dance clubs, I would think. So the roller skating disco was for skating rinks I guess.

[needlefingers]

The first song that comes to mind for me in the roller disco's was Firecracker by Mass Production.

So So So Good!8)

To discorecordplayer: Actually it's both. It took place in rollerskating rinks and discos. And there were roller-dance contests.

Some movies about roller discos:

Roller Boogie

Xanadu

Bounce
