Editorial Reviews

When a pop song soundtrack truly captures the essence of a movie, you know a lot of care went into the cut selection. It's a cinch that something like a Cameron Crowe soundtrack is always going to pass the test, but what a delightful surprise that Roll Bounce offers such a charming and witty set that's entirely in keeping with the movie's own enchanting spirit. The mix is about equally divided between straight period tunes (Roll Bounce unfolds in and around the '70s roller-disco craze) and updates of classics from the era. The old numbers are all winners that, again, seem chosen with loving consideration both for appropriateness to the scenes they accompany as well as for the attention they deserved (though may not have received) at the time. In addition to Chic's ubiquitous "Le Freak," lesser-known '70s gems include the funky soul of Johnny "Guitar" Watson's "Superman Lover," and the wistful groove of Bill Wither's languorous, superproduced ballad, "Lovely Day." Some of the updates: an overly-boogified version of Kool and the Gang's "Hollywood Swingin'" with Jason Kay of Jamiroquai doing his best Kool impersonation. To keep the contemporary crowd happy, Keith Sweat is represented with the lush ballad "I Wanna Know Your Name." And there's a hotter-than-ever cover of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" from Michelle Williams. Beyonce also makes an appearance with her loving cover of the ethereal, "Wishin' On a Star." The least successful "update" is a distinctively 21st century reimagining of the disco mainstay "Boogie Oogie Oogie," which gains little from the combo of house-rap and crooning by Brook Valentine, Fabolous, and Yo Yo. But in essence, Roll Bounce is a terrific mix of old, new, and some stuff in between that makes a perfect companion to the film.--Ted Fry

Product Description
With the soundtrack to the film "Roll Bounce," Mathew Knowles has assembled a timeless CD that booms with the heat of summer and the memorable sound of the '70's. Featuring classic originals and dynamic remakes by contemporary artists such as Fabolous, Brooke Valentine, and Yo Yo (giving more bass to Boogie Oogie Oogie); Michelle Williams (covering Al Green's "Let's Stay Together") Keith Sweat (tackling "I Wanna Know Your Name") and Beyounce (with a sultry interpretation of "Wishing on a Star"), the "Roll Bounce" soundtrack represents the best in music then and now.

Sad Sad Sad.......2007-06-25

Many, many thanks to the French guy for posting the songs and original artists. I just finfished watching the movie and was so pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed it, being 33 years old! It made me want to find my old skates and lace 'em up and zoom around my block at 12:30am! ha ha... What a disappointment to look up the soundtrack and see how lame it is with all the remakes and so few of the great songs from the movie! I will be downloading the songs for sure.

great cd.......2007-05-13

I purchased this product for a friend who just loved the movie "Roll Bounce". The cd was in very good condition and played well.

Good Funky Music.......2007-05-08

I enjoyed this CD and would recommend it. I was glad I was able to find this CD on the Amazon website. Good music and brings back memories!

Roll Bounce.......2007-03-26

Did not like it, was not what I expected, I thought they were going to be the orginal artist on this soundtrack.

Roll Bounce.......2006-11-14

I thought the soundtrack would have more of the actual songs that were featured in the movie, like greatest dancer by Sister Sledge. Also I would have preferred to here the original artists of the songs.

Disappointing.......2007-03-30

I was so anxious to recieve this soundtrack. The music from the movie was awsome. But the CD fell short of being what I had hoped for. The songs were not original. And alot of the music wasn't included on the CD. I guess I should have looked closer. So I will just buy the DVD. And listen to the music.

Awesome.......2007-02-08

This is an awesome soundtrack. It brought me back to my childhood and skating at the roller rink.
