"Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll," credited to Vaughan Mason
New Yorker Vaughn Mason's claim to fame is the spectacular disco/funk single "Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll," credited to Vaughan Mason & Crew. That song, released on Brunswick, hit the top five of the U.S. R&B chart in 1980 and became the title track of the group's first and only album.
The single also became sample fodder for several rap songs, including Digital Underground's "Doowutchyalike," Heavy D's "Black Coffee," De La Soul's "Cool Breeze on the Rocks," and Redman's "Slide and Rock On." Two other singles from Vaughan Mason & Crew ("Roller Skate" and "Jammin' Big Guitar") followed for Brunswick, though neither fared hardly as well as the first.
