Roger Troutman....Jr. Interesting story of Roger's son:
http://ranmanreviews.blogspot.com/2011/06/lynch-aka-roger-troutman-jr-pinch-of.html
Roger Lynch Troutman, Jr., the son of ZAPP's frontman, Roger Troutman, was an EXTREMELY and EXTRAORDINARY talented musician. He exuded the charisma, determination, and skill set that preceded his young age at the time of this recording. His star was shining very brightly, as any gifted artist would, had they possessed such GOD given abililities. Roger, Jr. was born in 1970 and hailed from Minnesota. He joined his father's band in 1987 where he was taught first hand to manipulate and master the talkbox.

My friend has that album, but I've never listened to it. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

My friend got it when it came out as he likes Roger Troutman a lot. He's a friend of one of Roger Sr.'s neices and got the album from her. I think it was a self released CD and probably wasn't sold in stores, so that's why it's unknown.

Yeah, Gray +1 on the '89 debut. Showed a lotta potential & was a (still is) a fun spin.
Sad that he left us too soon. Funk Is It's Own Reward | |

How many records did he release? The only one I've seen is The Second Coming. You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B.

Just the 1989 debut "A Pinch Of Lyinch" (Roger producing)......"The Second Coming" was Rog's other son.

So Roger "Jr." and Roger "II" are two different people? If so, that's kinda like George Foreman's children.

Nope....my bad.
Although "commonly" referred to just as "Lynch Troutman", it was the same son on both LP's, I believe. He died in '03 (I was remembering the date as before 2000 for some reason...nence my confusion about his full name...correctly stated by Gray above) Funk Is It's Own Reward | |

I have the "Roger Troutman II - The Second Coming" CD, purchased it about a year ago. I think I may have played it only once, don't recall there being anything on there that interested me enough to play it again. It wasn't awful, but I just wasn't all that impressed. I'm sure I'll give it another listen at some point in the near future, mostly prompted by this thread. Sometimes, certain CD's need the time to grow on me. ![]() | |

If you have Mint Condition's Definition of A Band you have. He's on Funky Weekend. He was also in a early incarnation of the band. MC had vintage pictures on their website a few years ago when E Life was out. I do remember one song that Roger Lynch had out several years ago. Don't laugh at my funk
This funk is a serious joint | |
