Roger and Zapp were a tremendous influence on me, as they contributed heavily to the soundtrack of my very life. I still use the talk box to this day, for live shows, as well as when recording in my home studio. I feel like I let them down, as I never succeeded as a musician, but I admire them still.

We did love Roger and Zapp out here in California. I remember them announcing his death on the radio in LA. We were in disbelief. I had a 5 disc cd changer in the mid to late 90s, Eazy-E, Tupac, Biggie, Zapp and Roger, and Brenton Wood were always in there. Brenton Wood is the oldest and the only one still kickin'! Thanks for the video.

I'm from California and I'll tell you that I'd be lying if Roger did not make an influential impact on the West Coast rap scene, especially when G-Funk got huge. He was also influential on new jack swing music since Teddy Riley took up after Roger on the talkbox.

The Zapp band, those are my boyz! I miss Roger and the times my brother Tony and I shared with Roger when the band was in the St. Louis area! Helping out where we could when they were in town. Chauffeuring, security etc. Myself and my six siblings are all in the music industry as well! I too dealt with a tragedy of loosing my 21 year old son to violence and I understand how it feels when it just seems like everything has come to a halt. But God was still there! May God bless the Troutman Family and us all! Amen!

The advice that Larry gave earlier in his life about money was profound. He already knew. I think their father must have been an amazing man. I always feel some kind of envy when I hear of fathers or parents like that.
