Roger and Zapp were super popular in the early 80s...both "I Heard It Through The Grapevine" and "More Bounce To The Ounce" were monster club hits.....my problem with both Troutmans music is that they both write one cool bassline/groove, vocals through a vocoder, dom9 guitar part, and a synth hit and make an entire song out of the one section (sometimes two)....this particular minimal approach makes the music seem to not go anywhere (it gets monotonous, fast)
