Day 4: #mayvinylchallenge : Multiple Records With The Same Cover Theme May the 4th Be With You...And Also With You! (Not Catholic, but I love a good kneeler.) I had a few ideas: • The Propped-Elbow (Thriller, Luther Vandross, Lionel Richie, etc. But since I didn't have that ALFONZO album, why?) • Cars (Previously done in a May Vinyl Challenge) • The Lucas-Spielberg Connection (Since it's May 4th, an esoteric tie between the partnership of Lucas and Spielberg via soundtracks. It became convoluted) So I kept it funky: THE ZAPP "Keychain" LOGO 🔺️ Zapp [1980] 🔺️ Zapp II [1982] 🔺️ Zapp III [1983] 🔺️ The New Zapp IV U [1985] Some bands are branded by their logo. KISS, Van Halen, Cameo, etc. Equally as strong was the logo of the Dayton-based band, ZAPP. Much can be said about the talkbox-laden funk that Roger Troutman and Co. created...but we're talking about the visual art here! On the debut artwork of Ronald "Stozo" Edwards and Overton Lloyd, the logo appears as its name in block-style. A key on the front cover next to a diorama of what my kid brain thought were keychains, I dubbed the following releases as the "Keychain Logo." For "ZAPP II", the logo is a large font with stars, a globe mosaic splash, encased in a "keychain" border (with the border changing from black to gold to chrome). This logo was the style for the next three albums, created by various artists such as Laura LiPuma, J. Daniel Chapman, etc. ZAPP's amazing music change my life, but the logo was always an exciting thing to see. It shows the fun, spirit, flash and quality that the late Troutman and his band gifted the universe. And for May 4th's sake, a pic from last year's May Vinyl Challenge! Today's theme, brought to you by: @harma808 @nico_suaves_wax @steinove74 @jldrueke @the_jon_minette @snagrecords @thateddiehex @sweetanderson @petersdiscs @its_a_music_affair @j_roorda_photos @pedaltothevinyl Vinyl Challenge Conduit: @jennn_erator 📷: C.W.

Happy Birthday Roger Troutman🕊️ @thezappband I photograph the legend in 1989 pretty sure it was for Spin magazine. Set up a backdrop at a recording studio he was working at in Beverly Hills. Sir Jinx was there and I was really psyched to shoot one of my favorite funk legends. #riprogertroutman #rogertroutman #zappband #mikemillerphoto https://www.instagram.com/p/CljaxhXJ_3b/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Regrann from @90sflava - . #RogerTroutman Dubbed the "most talented musician" Funkster George Clinton ever saw, Roger put out hit after hit after hit with songs such as More Bounce to the Ounce, Dance Floor, Doo Wa Ditty (Blow That Thing), I Can Make You Dance and the list goes on and on. Roger wasn't the first musician to use the talkbox but he was sho'nuff the one to make it funky. Roger was able to experience longevity in his career and his music crossed all generations. He was highly sought after by many rap artist and once while interviewing with Wonder B and Funkateer Genius, he said "The artists are like milk in the desert. It's difficult to last long, it's very tricky." Even after his passing on April 25, 1999, Roger's music is still in heavy rotation and he is remembered by all. among the California lowrider subculture. In the early ‘80s, muscle car enthusiasts from Sacramento to San Diego would cruise through their cities blasting Zapp records, unintentionally influencing the young neighborhood kids who would eventually grow up to pioneer West Coast gangsta rap. Rapper Ice Cube remembers watching break dancers poplock to “More Bounce to the Ounce�� as an 11 year old: “ . . . I think from that visual, from seeing that, it was my first introduction into hip hop. Period. I didn’t know nothing about nothing. I hadn’t heard ‘Rapper’s Delight’ yet. It was the first thing that was really fly to me.” Zapp’s debut album went gold and was followed by a second and third that were certified gold as well. The Troutman brothers were undeniably good musicians, but it was Roger’s signature use of the talk box that really gave Zapp their claim to fame. The talk box is an instrument consisting of a small mechanized box attached to a plastic tube. By connecting the talk box along with a guitar or keyboard to an amplifier, the user is able to direct an instrument’s notes into his or her mouth. The musician can then sing or talk in order to transform the sound waves into speech or song. Here Roger uses the instrument on one of Zapp’s best known tracks, “Computer Love”: We miss you Roger #90sflava #zappandroger #8psrnb #throwback #backintheday #oldschool #memorylane
