Funk Jam Of The Day: "So Ruff, So Tuff" by Roger

Alright, it's gotten dead on the org again so it's time for me to liven you motherfuckers up. My alltime favorite song by either Roger or Zapp is "So Ruff, So Tuff". Funk at it's best.

Give it up.
Andy is a four letter word.

Vain, u of all people know that I have confessed my love for this Roger cut and Zapp/Roger SEVERAL times on this site. Have ran a thread on this very cut myself. One of the funkiest cuts ever recorded by a human. The guitar is WICKED!

I could loop the breakdown on this song and listen to it all day long... "Good God!!!" ...
You might as well say Funk Album of the Day
shit, the whole "Many Facets of Roger" LP was a force to be reckoned with...

It's one of my three favorites by Zapp and Roger. The other two are "More Bounce to the Ounce" and "Heartbreaker"

I remember seeing El DeBarge on Video Soul raving to Donnie Simpson about how bad Roger was on guitar. Apparently Roger had sat in with El at a club. He was a badass on guitar, rhythm AND lead. He could ride a funk groove like no one else...
