Hands down the best 240p content on Youtube. The music is incredible, his stage presence is SO much fun, and the whole band is just killing it, and looking like they're having the best times of their lives doing so.

Roger Troutman was an incredible musician. Exceptional guitarist, keyboardist, vocalist, and probably most famously, incredibly expressive with a talkbox.

It always makes me so sad to think about what he could have achieved if not for his untimely death (likely murder-suicide by his brother). But he left so much awesome music for us to enjoy.

I first learned of Roger when I started working at a roller skating rink as a DJ. There were so many Zapp & Roger songs that would get regularly requested, and I pretty quickly grew to love them too. A bunch of the regular skaters had a whole damn-near choreographed routine around some of these songs, especially Do Wa Ditty and Computer Love (the latter of which was ALWAYS "backwards skating only", which was kind of a way to clear the floor of some of the less capable skaters and let the regulars really go for it).
