Home > Zapp (band)
Zapp was a soul and funk band formed in 1978 by the Troutman brothers ( Roger , Larry , Lester , and Terry ) and also included Bobby Glover , Eddie Barber , Bootsy Collins, Jannetta Boyce , Jerome Derrickson , Sherman Fleetwood , Gregory Jackson , and Michael Warren .Zapp is perhaps best known for its huge 1980 R&B hit "More Bounce to the Ounce." The group recorded five albums under the name Zapp, and Roger Troutman recorded five others under his own name.
On Sunday, April 25, 1999, Roger Troutman was found shot and critically wounded outside a recording studio in Dayton, Ohio; he died during surgery at a local hospital. Roger's brother Larry was found dead in a car a few blocks away with a single gunshot wound to the head. It is likely that a personal dispute had developed between the two brothers; as far as can be determined, Larry shot Roger, then shot himself.
