Yes, other artists used the talk box before him, but compared to Roger they simply don't matter because he is the best to ever do it and he used it consistently for over 20 years. This doc is about the late, great Roger and zapp so stop naming other people.
I remember Roger and the Human Body. They played every other month in East Lansing at Dooley's. They were tight. I also remember 1980 when Earvin came back and after winning the NBA title and the band was now called Zapp and they played at Dooley's. That was a party.
Well, Stevie Wonder, Sly Stone,Peter Frampton and Johnny Guitar Watson used the talk box before Roger. they all did well with the talk box but Roger took it to another level. Auto tune ain't got S@%t on the talk box.
I don't think that's true, Stevie did some talk boxing before Zapp. In the matter of fact Stevie was not the only one but Roger was firste that made talk box THE BOMB!
Hmm, Larry played congas, whereas the other brothers played "real" instruments. Then Larry focused on management of the band. So basically the other brothers were not dependent on Roger.
I'm sure Roger must have had uneasy/unsettling feelings about Larry. I wonder when Larry bought that gun.
Snoop says it sounded like he had a robot with him. That was my first thought when I heard Zapp. Old school smacks the new school in the mouth like a disobedient bitch. lol
ooh man this vid brouht back alot of memoris iwas at their show at gillys about a week before more bounce to the ounce came out and yes bootsey / clinton and everybody was there.but thememory for me was when the human body played at the lakeview paladium.with parlament funkadeic.roger played maggot brain. and george clinton was sitting in the audience.he jumped up screming i got to have that guy he;s bad i didn:t know iwas seeing history in the making.
why dont terry and the other brothers release an early compilation of some of these shows of the early zapp that they are showing on this documentary that shit is deep.
@lanier2 sorry but Superman isn't on that album either :P Many facets of Roger contains: -I heard it through the grapevine -So ruff so tuff -A chunk of sugar -Do it Roger -Maxx Axe -Blue (Tribute to Blues) I know cause I own that on vinyl :) But anyway big thanks on commenting about Zapp & Roger :)
