But no matter how you obtain this record, in any format, I strongly urge you to seek it out. Maybe you can do a Google search, and see if it's floating out there somewhere. So if you should find it ANYWHERE, grab it quickly. Adding background vocal support are his cousin Toi Troutman, Dale DeGroat, Ray "Stingray" Davis, Rufus Troutman, III, and last, but DEFINITELY not least, the remarkably talented, Nicole Cottom This album is an extremely hard to find item, at least the Compact Disc is. Helping out on the vibraphone you have jazz legend Johnny Lytle. Those musicians included his father on keyboards, synthesizers, guitar, bass, percussions, and background vocals, uncles Terry and Lester Troutman played bass guitar and drums respectively.Īdditional keyboard support came courtesy of Billy Beck, his cousin Rufus Troutman, III, and once again, his uncle Terry Troutman. In addition to Lynch performing keyboards, horns, lead and backgrounds vocals, he had some incredible musicians backing him up. Let's rediscover some of the highlights of a record, that had been given a chance at radio, could've done remarkably well on it's own merit, and NOT on the affiliation he had with his father. His impressive debut is titled, "A Pinch Of Lynch". ![]() All these skills culminated in him to record his Capitol Records solo debut release in 1989. Having worked alongside his father, he gained the experience of performing in front of adoring fans around the world, as well as to learn the craft of songwriting, and musicianship. He joined his father's band in 1987 where he was taught first hand to manipulate and master the talkbox. ![]() was born in 1970 and hailed from Minnesota. His star was shining very brightly, as any gifted artist would, had they possessed such GOD given abilities. He exuded the charisma, determination, and skill set that preceded his young age at the time of this recording. Roger Lynch Troutman, Jr., the son of ZAPP's frontman, Roger Troutman, was an EXTREMELY and EXTRAORDINARY talented musician.
