Roger and Ray Davis recording session for Kareem's NBA music video tribute "I'm So Happy"
See my Kareem Tribute Video: I'm So Happy to hear the finished song.
NBA Entertainment and Warner Bros. selected Roger to perform the song that I wrote for Kareem Abdul Jabbar's Music Video tribute. This was the third and final NBA music video tribute that I made. I started a fourth project, one for Majic Johnson but that project never saw completion.
The late Ray Davis was talented singer who was the original bass singer and one of the founding members of The Parliaments, Parliament and Funkadelic. He also performed in The Original P which consisted of four founding members of Parliament, and he was briefly in The Temptations. Davis replaced the original bass singer of the Temptations Melvin Franklin on the album For Lovers Only and was in the group after Franklin's death in 1995. Davis left the group after being diagnosed with throat cancer. In later years, he performed with former Temptation Glenn Leonard in Leonard's group, The Temptations Experience. Davis died on the evening of Tuesday, July 5, 2005, of respiratory problems.

I hope you enjoy this behind the scenes footage of Roger and Ray.
Bobby Iovinella

You cannot respect anyone in the studio more than Roger Troutman because he was a genius and a master at so many instruments/production tools.

@rdcruiser4396 Год назад

Solo agregaría que en ese estudio estaban dos grandes leyendas del R&B.Davies,una leyenda por si sola😉

@HypnoticHollywood Год назад

Wasn't Prince and Stevie Wonder both masters and many instruments/production tools?

@waynefoote3781 7 месяцев назад

YES! Absolutely.......Roger was right there with them.actually Stevie....Prince and then Roger Troutman! @@HypnoticHollywood

@Kurtiz76 13 лет назад

Ray Davis is the man. Troutman should have lived longer. He obviously knew what he was doing with this funk stuff.

Ray Davis, one of The Original founders of Parliament Funkadelic.

Now we know why all his songs sound so great. Roger was a perfectionist. Look at how many times he rehearsed and re-did each little phrase of the lyrics.

@lflanery 15 лет назад

This is wonderful with the late Ray Davis of PFUNK and Roger. Ray was a great friend, had a wonderful voice, one of the voices that made PFUNK the other was Glenn Goins - RIP. March 29th is Ray's birthday.

Wow, again. I've watched this 10 times. It's amazing to see Ray Davis (Mr tear the roof of this sucker) from Parliament taking direction from Roger Troutman. Video 1 shows him doing his own vocal part. Now this. He had already done Shirley Murdocks part. I love it!

his music was way ahead of its time, his songs like more Bounce to the Once, so ruff so tuff, you should be mine,, computer love, I wanna be your man, chocolade city or his version of living in the city and much more are timeless , until now and in the future. I love you Roger forever, you will BE not forget, never !!!

@UrantiaMansion 14 лет назад

@Jtheflavor83 For him to be so gifted in this age of sometimes very less talented artists who are extremely arrogant--his humor relaxed you and he was so humble about his gift and also getting the best out of you whether in the studio or the stage of Life. If we only had more artists like him in today's generation to be that Harmonious to bring the masses together...!

@UrantiaMansion 14 лет назад

@lanier2 Prince and Michael dominated that era, but I miss him as well. I met the Troutman Family a while back in Ohio before I actually knew about Roger. But I feel all of us who appreciate, play, and write the funk have a little bit of Roger in us. He was so full of Life and Highly faithful in his Creator that gave him his great talent. When I'm in the studio today and from now on his spirit will be me hopefully guiding me to keep it on the One!

@UrantiaMansion 14 лет назад

@lanier2 We are not only more divided as a nation as you see Lanier2--but generationally and culturally related to our true identity in the hood and as a people! I agree with you totally. Our black top 40 has become a caricature of who we truly are and the autotune as a gimmick not a creative tool has so slowed down our progress to take this nation to the next level on the funk. Funk in it's true afro/space purity is EXTREMELY rare today...

@UrantiaMansion 14 лет назад

@derrickkdavis63 I first met him in Chicago in '72 at the High Chapparrell with the famous Pedro Bell...I vaguely even knew who they were at this time and they blew the minds and wigs of that standard R&B audience that were used to more Apollo theatre type of performances...Lots of highlights, but your pops, Bootsy, Catfish, anf Tyrone Lampkins were especially OUTSTANDING!

@derrickkdavis63 I later several shows later saw your pops again at the Omni in Atlanta and as a guitarist asked him what happen to Harold Beane who used to dress up as Captain America and he told this hilarious story that Harold was Captain America for real having become a policeman. His command of all styles of music including R&B/Gospel thru opera--and I know Larry Graham as well!

@alberthenley2988 3 года назад

Yo, this dude was a beast in that studio. I say he got Prince beat not over all as a master musician of course not but Roger was on the wave and levels of a hip hop dj producer cat like Doctor Dre. Now, before anybody misunderstands, Prince was the master and the greatest. But dude was a bit of a control freak and made a bunch of shit that made no sense like Love sexy. See? Prince had so much talent that he ain't know what to do with his self.

He didn't want to give Warner Brothers no more of his real music when he saw he couldn't put out the black album
