Roger Troutman & Zapp - I Wanna Be Your Man (Live)

[@4mydearlady]

Roger Troutman’s son on the talk box and keyboards was gorgeous!

[@kgthoughts]

a lot of tragedy in that family unfortunately

[@ArielTionna]

Man I wish I was born back in these days.

[@elinorgoddard2726]

Best times in my early 20s best times

[@brandoncamarillomusic]

this is probably the best live performance i have ever seen in my life

[@HypnoticHollywood]

How is it that you've never seen the Motown 25 performance of Michael Jackson?

[@spiffyben332]

so glad I found this live performance. Roger was truly a genius and the entire Troutman family was blessed with music in their genes. RiP Roger.

[@cricket-cj]

Man this music is untouched nothing can come close 🤦🏽‍♂️

He actually sounds good with or without the Auto Tune. Love this vid.

[@adamgh0]

That's a talkbox. Auto tune was a full decade away when this came out.

[@lafoo5023]

That sir right there is called a talk box, no autotune was ever involved lol

[@BensMusicDojo]

Seriously, that’s all talent

[@RTDavis0503]

Talkbox. Requires you to be able to play an instrument (keyboard, guitar). Auto tune requires no talent

[@chillywilliedfw9093]

Just sad .. Could not live a full life... so talented.

[@JonJon-dg4yk]

Roger may not be here physically but his ALIVE FOREVER!!!

[@MarkCouch-kt9rv]

No wonder they called Roger the king of the talkbox, this performance pure perfection. I remember being a junior in high school in 1987 when this timeless hit came out, Roger rest easy now brother you are looking at the face of Jesus now. We will see you very soon on that big stage in the sky RIP😢♥️🌹

[@elinorgoddard2726]

Yes jesus

[@savannahjcollect]

Brilliant, Rip to both Rogers

[@inspectorconscious2388]

Crazy his brother killed him over money

[@marquisemusings]

@@inspectorconscious2388 I think it was deeper than that. But it's def sad. I think even the bro regretted it so much so he ended his life. Such a tragedy. 😥

[@inspectorconscious2388]

@@marquisemusings As far as I read his brother was his manager and killed him over disputed monies owed to him. But ofc it's tragic. I would have loved to hear what the music would have sounded like. Especially with how advanced it's becoming

[@tyden13]

@@inspectorconscious2388 aw man that’s so true…literally crying. I met their main sound guy last night and the look he gave me…tragic is the right word

Aw damn, didn’t expect you to reply right away. My homies and I did one of their song at karaoke in the Sf mission last night and… dude was running it

[@manny2092]

I got to see Roger in 1995 in San Francisco...amazing show...they almost didn't let me and my buddy in cause we were underdressed...but my buddy was blind so the bouncer took pity on us...that was a hell of an experience...let me tell you!

[@jasonbelter3536]

A great song by a great performer, this song is one of the that got me into playing the keyboards and the talk box, Roger and his family gone way to soon, Rest In Peace Troutman family.

[@jordanf7424]

Roger Troutman, Joe Perry and Peter Frampton used the Talk Box to it's best ability, just masterful.

[@citygirlingraham]

This is amazing, I am so glad you uploaded this video. The song, the style, all fantastic, the 80’s....I miss those times.

[@TBUniversalGroup.]

The drummer on this live performance is today's R&B recording artist PleasureMore, I agree, this was one of the best bands Roger had at the time when he toured around the world.

[@jailtonfarias2056]

Para tudo!!!! Sensacional, wonderfull, fantastic... Banda incrível!!!!

[@KittyMike32202]

Brings tears to my eyes

[@danmeck5978]

I was just telling my daughter about the talk box and how Roger invented it...then played her some of his tracks.

[@Gabriel-kw6mg]

Песня крутая, мы не спорим , а лучшая - zapp& roger - slow& easy, всем респект!!!!!!!!

[@NY32986]

RIP Roger Troutman and son (Both on the talkboxes) I don't need to go into a rant about people saying what Roger did was Autotune because It's Not and I guarantee the person who created the plugin, Roger Troutman was not a name that came to mind and as an alternative to talkbox/vocoder didn't either.

[@Tonewheeldude]

Zapp and Roger Troutman!Love it🥰

[@RTDavis0503]

Can y'all young against please stop calling talk box autotune?? They are two totally different things. Auto-Tune requires zero talent It's just a vocal processor that a child can sing into with no skill. Top box requires you to be able to play a keyboard or a guitar to be able to use it. With talkbox You are replacing your own vocals with the vocals of the keyboard or the guitar. YOU HAVE TO BE ABLE TO PLAY EVERY SINGLE NOTE THAT YOU SING.

[@saj8]

That is actually called a vocoder, not Autotune.

[@countzacula0121]

💯! I also despise the Roger Troutman & T Pain comparisons smh. Roger could play every instrument, wrote, composed, & produced all of Zapp’s albums including his solo work.

[@jaysonllalalafafelele4038]

These brothers are pure talent - autotune is for people that can sing a little but the autotune makes them sound like they can. ie Britney Spears and co & all the new generation of show ponies 🐎🫏🐎🫏🐎🫏🐎🫏

[@quanmanchu]

Peter Frampton started Talkbox...Roger Troutman perfected it.

These celebrities are humans just like ud behind all that glitter and spotlight. So when they need their privacy, or if we see them behaving like us ie like humans, lets give them the room for that. They be dealing with messed up stuff just like us and worse enough having to do all that in front of a crowd.

It's not auto tune! Auto tune requires ZERO talent. He's playing the TALKBOX. You have to know his to play an instrument (keyboard or guitar) to use it. He's replacing his voice with the keyboard sound. He's playing every note that he's singing. You have to play effortlessly. real talent

[@wokebehindmyeyes3601]

Why did Larry have to kill roger then commit suicide 😭

[@VENUS.SE7EN]

Roger expressed his desire to work independently. Nothing justifies Larry's actions at all, but at the time they had fallen behind on finances for the second time that decade. So, Roger wanting to go a separate way was probably the straw the broke the camel's back for Larry. It's so fucked up, though, because it really could have been avoided. Roger didn't deserve that.

[@stevef9876]

wow, floored here from back in the day. Any explanations on the suck tube frequency thingys??

[@GreenAdam313]

Steve F It’s a Talk Box. It’s like an effects pedal for your mouth. There are inputs and outputs on the box itself. One end connects to a keyboard or guitar, and the other end connects to the microphone. The plastic tube alters the natural sounds. Not to be confused with AutoTune, which does the work for you. You STILL need to sing and play in harmony
