Formed in Dayton, Ohio in 1978, R&B/funk outfit Zapp scored a string of hits marked by their prominent use of the vocoder alongside their fat electric grooves. Comprised of the Troutman brothers (leader Roger on vocals and guitar, Larry on percussion, Lester on drums and Tony on bass), Zapp's self-titled 1980 debut LP was produced by P-Funk legend Bootsy Collins. It soared up the R&B and Pop charts and launched a series of seriously funky discs. 1993's platinum-certified All the Greatest Hits collects the No. 1 smash "Dance Floor," plus the Top 10 hits "I Can Make You Dance" and "Computer Love" among others! "More Bounce To The Ounce" was sampled by The Notorious BIG while "Computer Love" was sampled by 2Pac.
