- NOTES
One of the most underrated funk groups of the 1980s, Zapp
revolutionized the computer pop of electro with their
trademark vocoder talk boxes and bumping grooves,
emulating the earthier side of Prince and Cameo, with a
leader in Roger Troutman who was more than efficient at
polished production. The family group, with brothers
Roger, Lester, Larry, and Tony Troutman, grew up in
Hamilton, OH, influenced by hometown heroes the Ohio
Players as well as Parliament and other funk groups. Tony
was the first to begin recording, with an obscure single
for Gram-O-Phon Records, "I Truly Love You," which scraped
the R&B charts in 1976. Joined by his brothers (with Roger
on vocals and guitar, Lester on drums, Larry on
percussion, and himself contributing bass) and christened
Zapp, the group played around the Midwest and gradually
picked up backing vocalists (Bobby Glover, Jannetta
Boyce), keyboard players (Greg Jackson, Sherman Fleetwood)
and a horn section (Eddie Barber, Jerome Derrickson, Mike
Warren).
Zapp's following quickly gained notices, and Bootsy
Collins himself was hired on to work with the group on
their debut album. Released in 1980, Zapp hit the Top 20
on the pop charts, thanks to the single "More Bounce to
the Ounce." The following year, Roger worked on
Funkadelic's The Electric Spanking of War Babies and
released his solo debut album, The Many Facets of Roger.
His special cover of "I Heard It Through the Grapevine,"
complete with vocoderized talk box, pushed the album into
gold territory (as Zapp had done). Zapp II appeared in
1982 and proved just as popular as the group's first,
including Zapp's only number one R&B single, "Dance
Floor."
Zapp III barely made the Top 40 pop charts upon release in
1983, and Roger's second solo album, The Saga Continues,
was also a disappointment, though his cover of "Midnight
Hour" featured the Mighty Clouds of Joy. The New Zapp IV U
fared slightly better after release in late 1985 (thanks
to the single "Computer Love"), but in 1987, Roger's third
solo album, Unlimited!, featured the group's biggest hit
yet, "I Want to Be Your Man," a chart-topper on the R&B
lists and a respectable number three pop. Though Roger
and/or Zapp hit the R&B charts frequently during the rest
of the late '80s, the unit had effectively halted
recording with the 1991 Roger LP Bridging the Gap. Roger
continued to produce and play with other artists, and it
was his talk box that graced Dr. Dre & 2Pac's Top Ten 1996
single "California Love." The 1993 Roger & Zapp collection
All the Greatest Hits sold well, earning the collective
their first platinum record. The Zapp story ended in
tragedy on April 25, 1999, when Roger was shot to death by
Larry, who then turned the gun on himself.
