This is a 12" vinyl single from the album, Unlimited!, released in 1987.
Roger Troutman (1951-1999) was the frontman for the Funk band Zapp, from Dayton, Ohio, which he formed in 1978 with his brothers Larry Troutman, Lester Troutman, Terry "Zapp" Troutman. The band released albums under the names, Zapp, Zapp Band or Zapp & Roger. He was famous for his legendary use of his custom-made talkbox—the Electro Harmonix "Golden Throat", connected to a Yamaha DX100 FM synthesizer. From 1980 through 1985, Zapp released top albums such as Zapp, Zapp II, Zapp III and New Zapp IV U and released top ten R&B hit singles such as "Be Alright", "Dance Floor", "I Can Make You Dance", "Heartbreaker", "It Doesn't Really Matter" - which was a tribute to R&B artists of the past and present, and the funk ballad, "Computer Love". Troutman also released four solo albums under his first name "Roger" during the 80s and 90s.
Troutman will be remembered as one of the most sampled artists in Hip Hop Music behind James Brown, as his music with Zapp was sampled by various West Coast Hip Hop artists during the 1990s. Troutman's music was instrumental in the formation of the G-Funk Sound in West Coast Hip Hop. He also influenced other R&B artists to use the vocoder in some staples of their music during the 80s and 90s.
