A dude that runs a record store I frequent quite often bought a copy of Zapp V. He started playing it thru while I was in the store. Neither of us was very impressed lol

You mean Zapp Vibe? It's patchy. I really dig "Oh Baby Baby" though.

I cant choose just ten. Everything everyone has mentioned is the slickness for the most part. RIP Roger.

Roger's Bridging The Gap album is pretty under-rated Id say.

Funkenstein do you have Sugarfoot's "Sugar Kiss" album which was entirely produced by Roger? That shit is the bomb.

Yea, Vibe. The album has like one good cut or something lol
Yea, I have Sugar Kiss. I've only listened to it once through, and that was a long time ago. It was kinda too eighties sounding for my taste. I expected something a little more ol' school from Sugarfoot.
I remember the new version of 'Fire' that was on the album. God, that was an awful song lol

Roger's "The Saga Continues" was the last album of their's I bought in the 1980s. After that, I only bought the 45s "It Doesn't Really Matter", "Computer Love", and "Thrill Seekers" before I bought Roger's "Bridging The Gap" album in the 1990s.

I love "THE ZAPP & ROGER ANTHOLOGY - We Can Make You Dance": 2 Discs / 29 songs of REMASTERED FUNK from Zapp, Roger & The Human Body (also featuring Wanda Rash, The Mighty Clouds of Joy, and H-Town). You ain't heard "More Bounce To The Ounce" until you've heard it remastered! This was one talented and charismatic Brother! Rest in Peace Roger (and your evil-ass brother Larry).
"There's Nothing That The Proper Attitude Won't Render Funkable!"

I'm Your Sugar is the slow cut!...fo' sho'


StarMon or Funkenstein, I would love you forever if you could somehow make an MP3 rip of the vinyl and hook a brother up since this album never got released on CD. I don't have turntables right now sad

Yeah, those tracks rock! Also there's some mean rhythm guitar on "Who-La-Boola".
The slow jams are good on this album too, like "Take Me Back".
