CD Description
This 17-track compilation contains three certifiable R&B classics: the funk anthem "More Bounce To The Ounce", the trendsetting "Computer Love", and one of the finest singles of the '80s, Roger Troutman's solo smash "I Want To Be Your Man". The last is an achingly soulful and slow groove accented with the best use of the Vocoder (a device that changes the pitch of a voice without altering its tempo) in pop music history.
Vocoder effects appear throughout GREATEST HITS. They may have seemed gimmicky in less imaginative hands, but Troutman was also an inventive and creative producer and songwriter. Sadly, Troutman was murdered in 1999 by his brother Larry, a former member of Zapp. This exceptional compilationis a tribute to Roger's talents and a perfect introduction to Zapp and Roger.

Customer Reviews

A funk classic
this album is a funkin classic, rogers songs have influenced nearly all of the rappers that you here today. 2pac and snoop are great examples, they sample Rogers songs on a number of their own tracks. Roger is world famous for California love, and all of his songs have the same funky beat and quality. More bounce is a classic song as well as heard it through a grapevine. this album iz a must have, and puts todays music to shame!!

very good
if you like the talkbox sound and music like daft punk (around the world) then you will probably like this

Awsome!
I heard one of these songs on GTA 'I can make you Dance' and i loved it so i went about looking 4 it. It took me a while but i found and now i listen 2 it every day on my iPod!
