      He's an absolute legend but let me make the distinction that Future & T Pain don't use Talkboxes, it's Autotune made famous by Cher of all people haha. Computer Love is my all time fave, man I wish I could have seen Roger play live.
      Side note, I bought a talkbox a few months ago and honestly it's the hardest thing to make sound good in terms of hearing the words and not just the tones. Roger is truly the master.

    Roger was very impactful with this style and went on to do the hook for California Love with Dr. Dre & 2Pac and did other features as well.

    Computer Love by Zapp/Roger. The voice box hooked to a keyboard is how they create the sound. You sing by playing the notes and kind of going through the motion of singing but not really making any noise (the keyboard supplies that). You have to use a little bit on consonants. Peter Frampton used a voice box and guitar, most notably on his song "Do You Feel Like We Do" if you want to check out a rocker doing it, slightly before Zapp and Roger.

    Took a picture with him and my best friend after his concert in San Diego in 1986. He was a cool cat, loved his music, and he was incredibly down to Earth. Came out after the concert to stand, talk, sign autographs and take pictures. I paid $20 bucks for that pic with him, which was quite a lot of money in 1986. His songs were everywhere. Tupac used him on an album. Computer Love was his greatest hit, or I Heard it Through the Grapevine. I was in shock when I heard when and how he was murdered. Very untimely death. By 1995 he was considered an Ol' G. LOL That voice box had him sick a lot from bronchitis types of diseases. Not a lot of people used that machine.

    This was sort of a voice effects device that Roger Troutman used quite a bit with his vocals. It basically turned his voice into an instrument. If you watch performances Roger had a tube running into the corner of his mouth for these types of vocals. This was probably one of 4 of Zapp's/Roger's best hits. Check out "Computer Love", "Doo Wah Ditty", "More Bounce to the Ounce" or "I Can Make You Dance".

    Auto tune didn't exist what they are doing is using a voice box through a synthesized keyboard its kinda like a straw that you hold between your teeth and speak into which then goes through a compressor then and heavy manipulation of the tones and words coming through it

    Roger Troutman was a musical genius. He well known for his use of the talk box, a device that is connected to an instrument (frequently a keyboard, but most commonly a guitar) to create different vocal effects. This song was made 1993🎉. Thanks for the review 👏🏽

    Go down this rabbit hole with Zapp and Roger Troutman. He is a pioneer of this genre. It was called a voice box. They didn't have auto tunes in the 80's.

    The late great Roger Troutman! Man I loved this song! It always reminded of a special lady who I loved very much back then. Unfortunately things didn't work out for us, but such is life. It was a tragedy what happened to Roger. He was gunned down in his recording studio by his own brother Larry. Then later Larry took his own life in his car. Sad situation.

  • @Whitebrowpriest
    @Whitebrowpriest Před 3 lety +1

    Yo, Tim and Fred, Roger & Zapp has got so many banging songs that you've got to react to on your channel.
    "Computer Love"**
    "More Bounce to the Ounce"**
    "Be Alright"**
    "Chocolate City"**
    "So Ruff, So Tuff"
    "Dance Floor"
    BTW, All of these songs were samples so much over the years that you might definitely recognize some of the tunes in something you've heard (especially "More Bounce to the Ounce" which was sampled in over 309 songs: including "You Gots To Chill" by EPMD (1988), and "Mount Kushmore" feat. Snoop Dogg, Redman, and B-Real (2017)).

    I am so happy you all have discovered Roger Troutman and ⚡️Zapp⚡️! I hold them in really high esteem, about a step down from Prince who is like the ultimate for me. But up there with the Beatles and Queen. Zapp created some great funk music and roller skating jams but they would have these exquisitely melodic ballads and they had a distinctive sound using the talk box effect. Great songwriting. They just always bought their A game and never disappointed. Shirley Murdock’s gorgeous vocals were a perfect fit with their music.
