12 Zapp Is Back

13 Get Up Off The Wall

14 I Finally Found What I've Been

Depois de sete anos sem gravar o grupo volta desfalcado de seu líder e mentor. E não fizeram feio, este album é muito bom. Tem o seu som tradicional com o R&B dos tempos atuais. Aliás, acho que é o trampo mais R&B deles. Mr. Roger Troutman que me perdoe, mas, este disco é um dos meu preferidos. Gosto de todas as faixas, porém, destaco "You've Got Mail" e a emocionante música feita em homenagem ao mestre: "This Is Our Song To You".

09. I Only Have Eyes For You

10. California Love

11. Play Some Blues

12. Girl, Cut It Out

13. Please Come Home For Christmas

Imperdivel. As versões para "Living For The City" (Stevie Wonder), "I Will Always Love You" (Whitney Houston) e "Easy" (Commodores), ja valem o disco. Ainda tem "California Love" e "Girl, Cut It Out", que também ganharam novas versões neste album.

Falando de albuns, este foi o maior êxito do grupo, que passou a se chamar Zapp & Roger. Compilação de algumas músicas dos albuns anteriores em versões compactas ou remix, ainda com a inédita "Slow & Easy" (nº 18 R&B) e também um "Mega Medley" (nº 30 R&B).

09. Sad-day Moaning (3:49)

10. Rock Star (4:01)

11. Jake E Stanstill (3:37)

Não tenho muito o que dizer deste que, talvez, seja o mais fraco dos albuns de Zapp & Roger. As versões para "Ooh Baby Baby" (Smokey Robinson and The Miracles) (nº 18 R&B) e "Fire" (Ohio Players), embora bacaninhas, não emplacaram.

(1988) Zapp & Roger - Ao vivo em São Paulo

Dia 13/08/1988, dois anos depois de sua primeira vinda a Sampa, eles estavam de volta. Desta vez, com formação completa. Fizeram duas apresentações na mesma noite, num clube da Zona Leste de São Paulo e no Palmeiras, onde, ja era tradição, a Chic Show sempre nos presenteava com grandes festas com excelentes atrações. Bailes inesqueciveis. Mas, este foi especial pra mim, ja era fissurado e doente pelo som desses caras.

Roger chamou a platéia pra cantar, simulou desmaios, nos apresentou seu filho Roger Jr. Simplesmente o melhor show de minha vida. Este link que estou colocando aqui para download, não é fiel a qualidade da festa. Esta é a transmissão da Band, portanto tem umas vinhetas comerciais (infelizmente).

(1987) Roger - Unlimited!

01. I Want To Be Your Man (4:11)

02. Night and Day (4:18)

03. Been This Way Before (Rap) (5:10)

04. Composition To Commemorate (May 30, 1918) (4:47)

05. Papa's Got A Brand New Bag (3:47)

06. Thrill Seekers (4:50)

07. Tender Moments (4:19)

08. If You're Serious (4:20)

09. Private Lover (4:04)

10. I Really Want To Be Your Man (3:44)

Até este album, todos os discos de Zapp & Roger, tiveram pelo menos uma música entre as Top 20 nas Paradas R&B. Com "Unlimited!" foram mais longe, alcançando um 3º lugar na Parada Pop e, claro, um nº 1 na R&B, graças a incrivel "I Want To Be Your Man". Este som também foi responsável pela 2ª vinda ao Brasil, desta vez via Chic Show e BandFM. Destaques também para "If You're Serious", "Night and Day", "Thrill Seekers" (nº 27 R&B), "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag" (aquela do James Brown) e "I Really Want to Be Your Man".

Na versão em CD o album ganhou mais uma faixa: "Bedistgutarist-A-Rown".

7 Cas-Ta-Spellome (3:33)
8 Make Me Feel Good (5:17)
9 Ja Ready To Rock (4:18)

"Computer Love" (nº 8 R&B), que é considerada por muitos como o maior sucesso do grupo, é também responsável pela primeira apresentação de Zapp & Roger no Brasil. Foram dezeseis semanas em primeiro lugar na BandFM (São Paulo). Mas, foi a Jovempam que teve a ousadia de traze-los para a festa/show de seu 10º aniversário. Foi a primeira vez que uma rádio foi responsável direta pela vinda de uma atração internacional deste genero.

Também neste album, impossivel não dançar com a the funk/pop music legends "It Doesn't Really Matter" (nº 41 R&B). Destaque também para "I Only Have Eyes For You".

4. Do You Really Want An Answer? (6:36)
5. Come On (5:11)
6. A Touch Of Jazz (Playin' Kinda Ruff Part II) (6:10)

Gosto de todas faixas deste disco. Por aqui o grande êxito foi "Dance Floor" (nº 1 R&B) com destaque também para "Doo Wa Ditty" (nº 10 R&B). Porém, nos EUA "Come On" também foi bem executada nas pistas de dança.

Zapp & Roger

Influenciados principalmente por bandas como Ohio Players e Parliament, entre outros. Roger também mantinha uma carreira solo e colaborou produzindo, tocando e cantando entre outros com Human Body, New Horizons, Shirley Murdock, Funkadelic, 2Pac & Dr. Dree, Bobby Glover, Curtis Mayfield, Dick Smith, Eazy-E, H-Town, Jhonny Gill, Keith Sweat, Mel Waiters, UWF All Stars,...

A banda estourou rapidamente e Bootsy Collins foi contratado para trabalhar com o grupo no primeiro álbum do grupo, lançado em 1980, alcançando rapidamente o Top 20 daquele ano.
Em 1986 o grupo teve uma nova formação, com a entrada de Shirley Murdock, Dale DeGroat e Bigg Robb.

Em abril de 1999 a tragédia atingiu a familia. Não se sabe porque, Larry matou Roger com um tiro no peito e depois se suicidou com um tiro na cabeça. Os dois eram os mais unidos entre os irmãos. Roger ainda foi socorrido com vida mas não resistiu aos ferimentos.

Roger era para o Zapp como Michael Jackson para o Jackson Five, Lionel Ricchie para o Commodores ou Mick Jagger para o Rolling Stones. O mestre do talk-box, como Jimi Hendrix na guitarra, ou Stevie Wonder na harmônica.

Quatro anos depois, em 2003, o grupo voltou a ativa com o disco "ZAPP VI - Back By Popular Demand" e está na ativa até hoje. Como Roger antigamente, hoje é Terry "ZAPP" Troutman que tem participado com outros artistas, como Mr. Capone-e, Boxx, Lil Rome, C-Bo, Sara S,..

Shirley Murdock e Bigg Robb mantém carreira solo mas ainda participam dos shows do grupo.
