Guest AudraT Posted July 17, 2011 Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) I think I posted this query about 3 or 4 years ago, but thought I'd try again. I'm originally from Aberdeen, Scotland and in the late 70's early 80's went to a roller skating disco (on a Sunday afternoon at The Palace on Bridge Street). There's one song that I distinctly remember from this time, have tried to find it on many occasions over the years, but don't know who it's by or what it's called, I only remember a few of the lyrics. It was sung by a woman, had a New York disco sound (as far as I remember). The lyrics went something along the lines of: 'When I'm rolling, all around the floor, when I'm ro-oh-oh-oh-ling....... 'Who could ask for more'. Unfortunately, that's all I remember. I've tried listening to all the roller disco CD's, but have had no joy. I posted something up recently on an American Forum, and someone suggested it could be the following: Anita Jo Bracie - Rollin' at the Roller Disco (1979), however can't find any clips of this anywhere - don't suppose anyone recognises this? it would be fantastic if someone could recognise this song as it's been driving me mad forever now, probably the only song that still remains a mystery to me and I need to find out what it is as it's driving me mad!! Thanks you all in advance. Edited July 17, 2011 by AudraT
Steve G Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 There were a number of roller records made Audra, probably at least 100 and enought for a "hot box" . Sorry that's not very helpful, but even big Motown acts like Ozone got in on the act. ATB Steve
Ian Dewhirst Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) You could try dropping an e-mail to this guy, DJ Julio, who was the king of Roller Disco jocks:- https://web.mac.com/r...o/DJ_Julio.html If he doesn't know I'll be surprised..... Ian D Edited July 20, 2011 by Ian Dewhirst
Guest AudraT Posted July 20, 2011 Posted July 20, 2011 Thanks Ian - I've dropped an e-mail to the guy you mentioned, hopefully he'll be able to help solve they mystery. Audra
Guest Imogen Posted July 24, 2011 Posted July 24, 2011 Hi Audra I hope you find the track you're looking for. I have recently been listening to lots of Roller Disco records and thought you might this Lp I found. James Last and The Rolling Trinity Lp 1979. There's some good tracks on it especially One More Chance.
