Doo Wah Ditty is a great Zapp track 2 IMO. 1 reason why 'More Bounce 2 The Ounce' doesn't get 2 much radio play is bcuz it lasts 4 around 9 minutes!, so there4 it doesn't fit in2 most radio show's setlists, but a track like 'Doo Wah Ditty' lasts 4 around 4 minutes so its more suited 2 radio. However, an edited version of 'More Bounce' is on 'All The Greatest Hits', perhaps the DJ's should play that instead. I'd like 2 hear atleast 1 Zapp and Roger track on UK radio, but I think I'm the only person in the UK who knows who Roger & Zapp is. | |

Yes. Zapp opened 4 P on the Controversy tour. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

The "unique voice" thread made me think about Roger Troutman, but that vo-coder (is that what it was) thingy really don't count, does it?
Anyways, "More Bounce" is TOIGHT! As for funky Prince songs, I think--and don't laugh--that "Anotherloverholeinyohead" is pretty funky. But even with that said, More Bounce is still mo' stank! | |

Nope. You'd sound just like him if you had one. (well pretty close anyway)

http://www.soundclick.com...rmusic.htm Yeah, pretty close. But Mr. Roger was the man. What a tragedy. It breaks my heart when I think about it. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

Controversy is funky. So is Let's Work, but they don't compare to More Bounce. Freak of the Week beats them all in my book, but More Bounce is up there. |

GREAT thread! Y'all know I love a good discussion about Old School funk
To Otan---the song "More Bounce To The Ounce" is played ALOT in my area.It's a LowRider classic,and you always see someone driving down the street,blasting it...lol...but I think my favorite Roger jam is his cover of "I Heard It Through The Grapevine".Man,that song is WICKED! | |

man, he created so many great jams but yeah, I would most likely co-sign  Vanglorious... this is protected by the red, the black, and the green. With a key... sissy! | |

I agree!!!, 'I Heard It Through The Grapevine' is great, the album version on 'The Many Facets Of Roger' is the best!, there is a 6 minute edited version on the 'Friday' soundtrack, 'Heartbreaker' also features in 'Friday', bcuz Ice Cube is a fan of Roger & Zapp. | |

Roger's 'Talkbox's' were custom made, and only Teddy Riley of Blackstreet has been able 2 almost emulate Roger's talkbox vocals but again, Roger pioneered the usage of the talkbox which is why u can still hear it 2day in many dance, rap and R&B tracks.

LIKE U SAID, ROGER AND ZAPP WERE ONE OF THE GREATEST FUNK/R&B/ROCK BANDS NOT ONLY FROM THE 80'S BUT EVER. "SO RUFF, SO TUFF" HAS IN MY OPIONION THE FUNKIEST RYTHMN GUITAR EVER. IT IS WICKED! IT HAS A HARDER EDGE 2 IT THAN"MORE BOUNCE". ALL OF ZAPP'S AND ROGER'S SOLO ALBUMS R TOP NOTCH. ZAPP PAYED TRIBUTE 2 PRINCE WITH "ITCHIN FOR YOUR TWITCH". THAT AND "HEARTBREAKER" HAS SOME GREAT ROCK LEADS BY ROGER. HE IS TRULY MISSED. STOP TYPING IN CAPS. IT 'READS' LIKE YOU'RE YELLING, AND IT MAKES IT HARD TO READ YOUR SENTENCES, BECAUSE IT ALL LOOKS LIKE ONE LONG HEADLINE. Turn off Caps Lock, and then I'll be able to get through your story. I'd love to read it, but it's damn near impossible to read cuz THE WORDS ARE ALL CAPITALIZED AND BIG AND SCREAMING. But hell no, Flashlight blows both them other songs outta da club. But second would be More Bounce. How come radio doesn't play that song? Why do they always play that stupidass Doo Wah Ditty instead? I haven't heard More Bounce in years. ----- What can of lame ass interupts a thread to give a lecture about CAPS | |

'In The Mix' by Roger is funkier than 'Controversy' but 'Controversy' is still a funky track!. | |
