    I joined Slave as lead singer in 1982 ....When I landed in Dayton Ohio i walked off the plane and Roger was there! Slave, was NOWHERE in sight man. Why and how he happened to be there I will never know but I went up to him and of course i was just flummoxed. I introduced myself to him and he gave me a hug and wished me luck. Later we had a best band contest against Roger and Zapp.....They won! It was in Columbus Ohio. Losing Roger was like losing Prince and i will always be grateful for his guidance and his talents. He would always say to me"When you gon stop drinking that wine/Alcohol? Which really is the reason that my career was a failure. Well now i have over 15 years with no relapse through Prayer...... We lost him way to soon and May he be Eternal!!

      John Singleton as director is who I first thought of when the unsung video of Roger came out. All the comments and stories written to his surviving family( on RUclips) were really nice reading. John Singleton had passed as well. Even though it was a tragic ending to Rogers career the story and legacy live on. A whole lot of people were uplifted by him and his family with their showmanship and stage presence. I never did get to his concerts but family family told me all about it. I'll be watching for sure.🤞

    I met him in the mid 90s. I was a Night Manager at Echo Sounds Recording Studios in Los Feliz near Hollywood in Los Angeles. When we shook hands he said, “It’s a pleasure to meet you” and I replied, “It’s an honor to meet you”. He was killed two weeks later. A one of a kind musician, he will be remembered for having his own style and a unique voice.

      @@waynefoote3781 Thank you. Meeting him was truly an honor for me. I had listened to his music since I was a kid so even shaking his hand was awesome. I was sitting at my desk in the studio office one day, watching the television in there. All of the sudden I saw on the news that he had been killed. Everyone in the studio just lost it because he was literally just there two weeks prior to that tragic event. Bro, I’m not even related to him but I was hurt. I had just shook his hand so his death really disappointed me. He was already an icon to me as a young musician and producer myself at the time. I will never forget his genuine humility.

    I grew up listening to Roger Troutman‘s music. When I was younger I never knew what the talk box was. When I heard more bounce to the ounce when I was three years old I actually thought it was a girl singing because of the high pitch harmonies. Then I would hear low voices and thought that they were men. I later found out through the Internet that it was a talk box. I’ve been playing the talk box since 2004. I got my first keyboard from Terry Zapp Troutman himself. I have met him as well. He and his wife are very nice people. The last album that Zapp produced was an album called Zapp seven Roger and friends. This came out in 2018.

    Larry was a jealous hearted, envious person who decided that if he couldn't be the one making money off Roger then no one else was going to either. Only reason he committed suicide was due to his cowardly fear of going to prison. He reminds me of my late older brother, he was jealous hearted too. He once stood guard outside my house while his friends came in and robbed me.

      Right? We had no idea, until we researched this case. Now that we know, we can hear it even more when listening to the song.

    My cousin's petrol station (Henderson, NZ) had some video games and a jukebox. That jukebox was my introduction to Zapp (the same year Thriller came out, i think?)

    It is so sad for a loving family who worked so hard and stayed away from drugs, and other issues that could distort their vision which by many of their counter partners in the game met their demise ended up dead. "The love of money is the root of all evil"

    Why does it bother us so much when a singer actor pass away?.... Like Lou gossett Junior that was bothered by that Cecily Tyson, the the guy that played in coming to America, wait a minute let me be clear the fellow that played the father on Good times James Evans. 😢 James Earl Jones Della Reese.
