[astarmedia1]

Thanks !

[lloydpopp13]

i keep on coming back to this video....the arrangement of this live performance of "i can make you dance" was really really funky!!

[SSW2424]

Roger was a baad Brother!!! I didn't know that he played bass too! The Brother played bass, lead guitar, keyboards, the talk box and the harmonica. Very talented. RIP Roger. You left us much too soon.

[Zaprheniah1]

[6402680]

The guys in his band really earned their money. They was working out!!! RIP Mr. Troutman....

[megafunk88]

Great vid! SO live. Born white (sob), I was never hipped to zapp through childhood but got my fast-track lesson at Carnegie hall, where i was playing with The main ingredient, and Zapp opened. i saw the whole insane show from backstage. Roger made his costume changes 2 ft from me. The funk was so deep, the show so timed, his talent so mind boggling. The next day I owned the Heil talkbox and every album he ever made, RIP, Sir Roger, you were an incredible inspiration across the lines.

[USfutbol]

Musical genius

[ArmondoeCruze]

Musical genius at its best

[GatorGirl04]

Roger Troutman and Zapp are incredibly underrated. Roger is literally jumping from instrument to instrument jammin groove to groove. I would definitely rank him right up there with Prince and MJ is terms of pure musicianship and artistry.

And of course he put on a dope show!!! lol

Thanks so much for posting!

[RETARDSTRENGTH510]

Roger was a Mac

[chelle315]

Roger, we miss you. Thank goodness for the advancement in video technology. Your brother must have really been hurting in order for him to take you away from us. Because vocoder and voice box techniques still exist, so do you. Your genius will always be a permanent part of music history. As your fans, you will forever live because we live. R.I.P. Mr. Roger "voice box" Troutman.

[Nina513]

I don't think you all know how much 6:48 to the end means to me....Do Wah Ditty gives me so much life!

His music was so amazing....The harmonica sounds just the way it does on the record....Roger was a genius!
