I spoke to the late Roger Troutman and the group Zapp during the summer. I spoke to the guys backstage at the World Trade Center. The band was taking part in an annual initiative sponsored by local radio station 98.7 KISS in New York. Every year, KISS would feature outdoor concerts in the middle of the Twin Towers, which no longer stand.
In addition to Roger, I had in-depth discussions w/ Big Rob, Rick, Terry "Zapp" Troutman, Nicole, Dale (the band's then Music Director and spouse to Shirley Murdock) and Bart.
We lost Roger Troutman and his brother Larry to tragic circumstances on April 25th, 1999, Roger was 47.
