Robinsongs

The nucleus of Zapp circled around three of the five Troutman brothers: Lester, Larry and their younger brother Roger. The duo of Lester and Roger started several groups including *Trout*, which also included youngest brother Terry and Gregory Jackson (Cincinnati Ohio Funk Keyboardist). Larry eventually joined his brothers when their name became *Roger & The Human Body*. Larry was then the road manager and the leader of the group in terms of all major decisions and connections. The name change to Zapp came courtesy of Terry, whose nickname was that of "Zapp".

Discovered by members of P-Funk in 1979, the funk collective's leader George Clinton signed them to his Uncle Jam Records. When that label folded the following year, the group signed with P-Funk's parent label, Warner Bros. Records, and began working on their first record at united sound in Detroit album courtesy of co-production from Bootsy Collins.

Released in the late summer of 1980, Zapp's seminal self-titled debut album became a platinum success peaking at the top twenty of the Billboard Top 200 thanks to the success of their leading single, "More Bounce to the Ounce", which reached number two on the Hot Soul Singles chart.

Albums four and five The New Zapp IV U and Vibe. The New Zapp IV U was originally released in 1985 and was certified Gold in America. The album featured the singles ‘It Doesn’t Really Matter’, ‘Itchin’ For Your Twitchin’’ and Top 10 R&amp;B Hit ‘Computer Love’. Originally released in 1989, Zapp’s fifth album Vibe featured the single ‘Ohh Baby Baby’. The album also featured the standout tracks ‘I Play The Talk Box’ and Zapp’s unique version of the Ohio Players classic ‘Fire’. But the real treat on this package are the bonus tracks: we have Zapp’s version of the 2 Pac classic ‘California Love’; the extended and instrumental versions of ‘Computer Love’; the band’s version of ‘Chocolate City’; the extended version of ‘I Play The Talk Box’ and plenty of other gems.
