NOT 1990s , it was 1985!!!!!! This song is genius and SO prophetic as there was NO such thing as computer dating, the internet wasn't really a thing yet, and we were still about 10 years away from it even being normal to own a computer. Those 2 male and female voices you hear are the incomparable Shirley Murdock and Charlie Wilson. Y'all should also check out Shirley's hit "As We Lay" from 1985. If you're an "old head" R&B listener like me, Shirley is definitely on your playlist. Charlie Wilson was/is the frontman for the group THE GAP BAND. If y'all haven't checked them out, you need to!! R&B/Funk essential listening from the 1980s. Charlie is in many ways the R&B equivalent to Steve Perry. His voice is just that iconic and influential. And of course there's Zapp's frontman Roger Troutman with his cool voice and sound! The technology you're hearing is a "vocoder" or "talk box". It was definitely popularized in the 1970s by Peter Frampton, but many R&B listeners will associate the sound with Zapp and Roger Troutman. Again, it's just so hard to understand how much this song pre-empts the computer dating trends from the late 90s and early 2000s. A truly amazing song from a super cool group!

Always wondered if that was "Uncle Charlie" thanks for the clarification! His voice is so uniquely iconic.

@beaujac311 Год назад

Trenton Hancock:. I was twenty three when this song came out and was a big Gap Band fan. I didn't find out until a few years ago that Charlie Wilson was a vocalist on this song. I always heard Charlie's signature vocals on this song but I never put two and two together. Back then vocal collaborations were not a thing yet and I never gave a thought to anyone but Troutman doing the male vocals on this song. It was not until Charlie Wilson was telling how he came to be a vocalist on this song that a light went off in my head. When he said that he was a vocalist on this song I said to myself I should have known because I knew it was Charlie but I didn't know it was Charlie if you catch my drift. Any fan of the Gap Band knows Charlie's signature vocal rift. I didn't know that the female vocalist was Shirley Murdoch yet because As We Lay didn't come out until the next year. She has a signature sound too.

Definitely one of my favorite old-school jams, great song. In addition to Roger Troutman on lead vocals, this song also features Shirley Murdock and Charlie Wilson, lead singer of the Gapp Band, with additional vocals. Another great Zapp & Roger "baby maker" is "I Want to Be Your Man".

@BigBull45 Год назад

Computer Love was released in 1985 so the song was way before it's time. Roger Troutman left us way too soon as he was a great writer and producer of music, may he rest in peace. The lady singing vocals is Shirley Murdock and she co-wrote most of Zapp's slow jams along with Roger. She had some hits as a solo artist as well. Her hits include: Shirley Murdock - As We Lay - 1986 Shirley Murdock - Go On Without You -1986 Shirley Murdock - Husband - 1988 These baby makers would make great reaction videos also. Thanks for keeping us smiling.

@formergoat9257 Год назад

One of my all time favorite songs. My dad was a computer programmer in the Army in the 80s when this came out and we always had a computer in the house so this song really resonated with me. Oh, and I have been in IT for 26 years now, lol.

@liquidationkingla5706 Год назад

For the record: Zap never broke up... There was some issue that involved finances, property management and some unaccountable expenditures that lead to a meeting between Roger and His brother; some time doing that meet the Brother Shot and Killed Roger and then shot himself in the Head.... It took a long time for the family and the group Zap to be able to even think about music; however they were able to deal with the lost, come to grips with the grieve and forge a strong family == Then Zap began to tour and do shows again... Roger to most that understand music is regarded in the company of Prince, Bee Gees and Billy Joel with his writing and work ethic...

As a Chicano growing up in So Cal, I would hear their music all the time. Chicanos love Zapp, you can't go to any lowrider show without hearing Zapp blasting out of car stereos everywhere lol. Some other great songs of theirs to check out: "More Bounce to the Ounce", "Be Alright", "I Can Make You Dance", "So Ruff, So Tuff", "Heartbreaker", "I Wanna Be Your Man", "I Heard It Through the Grapevine". Be sure to check out the music video version of "I Can Make You Dance" on RU-vid. Has some great footage of them performing so you can see what a good show they would put on. Btw, if you've ever heard the Tupac and Dr. Dre song "California Love", that's Roger Troutman singing on the hook with his talk box!

*Amber* , years ago, there were computer dating systems where you'd fill out a questionnaire and it would be matched with someone else's in a computer, and sometimes people would find love or at least companionship. I'm too young to have experienced that, but have read about it, heard people talk about it and have seen it in movies and on TV. Different types of computer love have been around for a while. Technology making love happen. 😀 Also, this song was released in 1985. Please tell Jordan that this song has been mentioned many times in the comments, not just a couple of times in email. It was suggested under the first video of them on your channel. Check out their song "Grapevine" and also the version before it by the amazing *Marvin Gaye* . That's Shirley Murdock singing along with Charlie Wilson. He's the lead singer of *The GAP Band* . You should check out Shirley singing "As We Lay". Also, I don't think the band actually broke up. They did have some time off for a while, and if not for Roger's brother shooting him to death, the band probably would have given us more. Will you please listen to *Teddy Pendergrass* singing.... "Turn Off the Lights" "Come Go with Me" "Love TKO" "Close the Door" These songs can make a couple slow dance in more ways than one. [wink wink... nudge... nudge] 😉😀 My parents used to slow dance to Teddy's singing all the time as we'd giggle, then one day during a friend's party while in middle school, my first boyfriend and I danced to "Computer Love" by Zapp, and "Close the Door" by Teddy. 😳 I told my mom about how the night went and how I slow danced to Teddy. She said "Now, you know. I bet you won't giggle at us, again." 😄

Roger & The Human Body began in Dayton, Ohio in the Mid 70’s. The core of the band were brothers Roger, Larry, Lester and Terry Troutman. They toured with P-Funk in the late 70’s. Roger played backup in some P Funk tracks. When they signed to Warner Brothers in 1980, George Clinton suggested a name change to something more catchy. Clinton preferred one word names. The band chose Zapp, the nickname of percussionist Terry Zapp Troutman. They alternated Zapp releases with Roger solo releases on a yearly basis. The compilations usually include band and solo songs as Zapp & Roger. Roger was a multi-instrumentalist who took the talk box (hooked to a keyboard rather than guitar) to a new level). The male voice doing the scat in the vamp is Charlie Wilson of the Gap Band who was good friends with Roger.

Toni! Toné!, Jonzun Crew. Also there is video footage of Stevie Wonder using a talkbox in the early 1970s. I think one of them is on "Sesame Street" and another is on a PBS show called "SOUL!" (different from "Soul Train"). A similar instrument from the same era is called the vocoder (which is what Midnight Star uses), but it has a more monotone sound than the talkbox. The vocoder does not have a tube that a player puts in his or her mouth.

They had a very funky sound throughout their career, but sadly Roger was killed on April 25, 1999 by his brother Larry over financial problems & accusations that Larry was embezzling money from Troutman Enterprises Company. Larry killed Roger, then himself. They found Roger laying in an alley by the company building. Larry drove a few blocks from where he killed his brother, then killed himself. Very sad day for the funk/R&B community who grew up on their music in the 1980's

I was so happy when he lived and waiting for the next hit. But now i cry after him and his masterpeaces songs with his btothers and other muisicans. He was unik on live stage. 😢😭😭 Listen to his music when im down in my life and its make me wanna dance my life on. Hes brothers still doing some Great music. Roger Troutman forever ❤

One of the many funk bands out of Dayton Ohio area, so many other jams from Roger and Zapp

One of the most playalistic tracks ever!!💯💯

A breakup is putting it very mild. Larry Troutman supposedly committed a murder-suicide killing his brother Roger before shooting himself. I don't know what happened between them, but it's a very sad end, they were extremely gifted, it's a shame to have lost them so early.

Hey! Please try their version of ‘Heard it through the Grapevine’!!! Saw Zapp with the Jonzun Crew at a skating rink for $5!

This was 80s. I used to use this song as a startup tone for my PC back in the day

OMG! Now that you said that’s Charlie I definitely hear his voice…wow

@ajruther67 Год назад

This song was released in 1985. I remember it well. It was the year I graduated high school.

@alexandervasel6845 Год назад

Oh that 80s r&b! That's an area you really haven't done much of! Alexander O'Neal, Cherrelle, Ready for the world, Keith sweat, midnight star, the SOS Band, Morris day and the time, Jessie Johnson's review.... You will love it!

@VZ935 Год назад

The Troutman's were part of my high school days. Unfortunately most of them are no longer with us. Tragic.

Brings back nice memories of the mid-to-late '80s. Very nice memories!.

@dr725 Год назад

Zapp is an 80’s classic. The female vocals you here are from Shirley Murdock. She did have solo career after leaving Zapp. You should check out her song, As We Lay.

Man this was my jam in elementary school, love that I grew up in the 90s and got to enjoy so many genres of music at a young age. It really taught me to respect so many genres of music, the beauty of the 80s and 90s, it was all just music. So cute to see y’all jam to this. You guys remind me of me and my wife lol love you both!

@handsomefatboy Год назад

Zapp and Roger was the pinnacle of gangster music back in the 90’s in Cali (just as much as gangster rap itself). From the cholos to the Bloods and Crips to the Asians and Polys we all played some Zapp and Roger in our cars and BBQs

Jay, you can't forget that other baby making hit "I Wanna Be Your Man". in the late 80's .... well let me just say those car windows got plenty fogged up to this one! Plus you can give Amber that good ol side-eye while it's playing too!!!

Speaking of 80 s soul Alexander o neal must along with sos band babyface the deele so many great 80 s artists thank you guys

RIP to the brothers. What an awful way to end an amazing career - murder/suicide. This was one of my jams in the 80s.

@carltonbakerii8274 Год назад

FINALLY! I have been waiting for y'all to get to this one! This is one of the best songs ever! This is my jam! I wore out my 12" and then made all the digital bits very, very tired when I converted this song to mp3! Talk about being on constant rotation! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

@Marlene7388 Год назад

Can't sit still hearing these guys!! Some more suggestions are More Bounce To The Ounce, Dance Floor, I Heard It Through The Grapevine & So Ruff So Tuff. Thank you! 😊😊😊👍👍👍

@dwainwilder7337 Год назад

If you haven’t heard or reacted to Zapp’s song, “I want to be you man”. Please check it out. You won’t be disappointed.

@NYPG1968 Год назад

This is a 1986 song. Featuring your Oklahoma Native Charlie Wilson on vocals along with The great Shirley Murdock (check out her song "As We Lay".) Always a good slow jam when I was a teen attending basement parties. I can't even call it a memory because I still play it regularly today.

@sandimcalisterblood2675 Год назад

Wow, there’s a throwback! Pretty sure I had this song on cassette😊

@carltonbakerii8274 Год назад

I think y'all should do a triple-play on this theme: "Computer Love" by Kraftwerk, "Deeper Understanding" by Kate Bush, and "My Computer" by Prince (backing vocals by Kate Bush).

@chestergaytheEnigma Год назад

Kraftwerk were before their time!!!! Computer Love was my favorite from the Computer World album...yes i said album. they are definitely still in my rotation...
