it doesn't get any better than this
look i know you are busy busy busy, so just scroll ahead to around 7 minutes and listen to this tune go out to Starsailor (LP and song) places
for your further pleasure, a chopped and screwed version
someone should Justin Bieber it
two things
1/ saw Zapp live. twice. two days in a row. a mistake, but the first night was the best show i'd seen at that point (which wasn't such a crowded field admittedly, this is 1986, but i'd still place it the All Time Top 10), so i went again.
2/ a year or two later, i interviewed Roger Troutman. He was as much a showman in front of a Walkman recorder as on the Hammersmith Odeon stage.
a big single in 1986
sampled in
another good single off Zapp IV
lyrics seem to be talking some leroi jones "changing same" business
or perhaps it's the black "It's Still Rock'n'Roll To Me"/Billy Joel...
