NOT 1990s, it was This song is genius and SO prophetic as there was NO such thing as computer dating, the internet wasn't really a thing yet, and we were still about 10 years away from it even being normal to own a computer. Those 2 male and female voices you hear are the incomparable Shirley Murdock and Charlie Wilson. Y'all should also check out Shirley's hit "As We Lay" from 1985. If you're an "old head" R&B listener like me, Shirley is definitely on your playlist. Charlie Wilson was/is the frontman for the group THE GAP BAND. If y'all haven't checked them out, you need to!! R&B/Funk essential listening from the 1980s. Charlie is in many ways the R&B equivalent to Steve Perry. His voice is just that iconic and influential. And of course there's Zapp's frontman Roger Troutman with his cool voice and sound! The technology you're hearing is a "vocoder" or "talk box". It was definitely popularized in the 1970s by Peter Frampton, but many R&B listeners will associate the sound with Zapp and Roger Troutman. Again, it's just so hard to understand how much this song pre-empts the computer dating trends from the late 90s and early 2000s. A truly amazing song from a super cool group!

[deborahvaughan]

Vocals by Shirley Murdock and "Uncle" Charlie Wilson of The Gap Band.

[deborahvaughan]

An R&B classic! Now you have to do " More Bounce To The Ounce ".

[tinderviddles]

Roger Troutman was about 25 years ahead of his time. What a creative genius.

[Shrykespeare]

Try Roger's "I Want To Be Your Man". That's some baby makin music too.

[glennlissner]

I agreed with some other folks, " I Want to be Your Man" is another hit of theirs from the 80s that I would say is even better than Computer Love.

[BigBull]

Computer Love was released in 1985 so the song was way before it's time. Roger Troutman left us way too soon as he was a great writer and producer of music, may he rest in peace. The lady singing vocals is Shirley Murdock and she co-wrote most of Zapp's slow jams along with Roger. She had some hits as a solo artist as well. Her hits include:
Shirley Murdock - As We Lay - 1986
Shirley Murdock - Go On Without You -1986
Shirley Murdock - Husband - 1988
These baby makers would make great reaction videos also. Thanks for keeping us smiling.

[carleton]

Definitely one of my favorite old-school jams, great song. In addition to Roger Troutman on lead vocals, this song also features Shirley Murdock and Charlie Wilson, lead singer of the Gapp Band, with additional vocals. Another great Zapp & Roger "baby maker" is "I Want to Be Your Man".

[kennewton]

Charlie Wilson on the vocals lead and background. RIP to Roger Troutman.

[nickpreece]

I have absolutely loved this song since I first heard it. Released 1985, no computer dating then so amazing foresight. Unbelievably vocals by Shirley Murdock (who actually co-wrote it). Thanks or reacting to this absolute classic that invokes so many memories for me too.

[formergoat]

One of my all time favorite songs. My dad was a computer programmer in the Army in the 80s when this came out and we always had a computer in the house so this song really resonated with me. Oh, and I have been in IT for 26 years now, lol.

[robertdixon]

That’s Charlie Wilson from the gap band in the background vocals

[rollfizzlebeef]

Yes! More Zapp & Roger! Love that you guys are diving deeper into this group, they are so underrated, definitely one of the best funk bands from the '80's. As a Chicano growing up in So Cal, I would hear their music all the time. Chicanos love Zapp, you can't go to any lowrider show without hearing Zapp blasting out of car stereos everywhere lol. Some other great songs of theirs to check out: "More Bounce to the Ounce", "Be Alright", "I Can Make You Dance", "So Ruff, So Tuff", "Heartbreaker", "I Wanna Be Your Man", "I Heard It Through the Grapevine". Be sure to check out the music video version of "I Can Make You Dance" on YouTube. Has some great footage of them performing so you can see what a good show they would put on. Btw, if you've ever heard the Tupac and Dr. Dre song "California Love", that's Roger Troutman singing on the hook with his talk box!

[ronnix]

Here are a few new artists and song suggestions: Cutie Pie by One Way, Nite and Day by Al B Sure, Freakshow On The Dance Floor by The Bar-Kays, Da Butt by E.U., Let's Get Serious by Jermaine Jackson, Let It Whip by The Dazz Band, and Feels Good by Tony! Toni! Tone!👍👍👍

[yeovil]

80s soul / R&B, Now you are talking. Fat back band - I found lovin or MTUME - juicy fruit, both classics in my opinion.

[liquidationkingla]

For the record: Zap never broke up... There was some issue that involved finances, property management and some unaccountable expenditures that lead to a meeting between Roger and His brother; some time doing that meet the Brother Shot and Killed Roger and then shot himself in the Head.... It took a long time for the family and the group Zap to be able to even think about music; however they were able to deal with the lost, come to grips with the grieve and forge a strong family == Then Zap began to tour and do shows again...

Roger to most that understand music is regarded in the company of Prince, Bee Gees and Billy Joel with his writing and work ethic...

[the_real_blerd]

So I realized a few years ago that this song was literally telling the future (internet dating lol)

[jimeiden]

Rufus with Chaka Khan: Tell Me Somethin Good is a must for Female Friday. It was her first big hit and will be a must for your funk playlist.

[larryjordan]

The female voice Amber mentioned is Shirley Murdoch. She has a couple of great songs of her own that showcase her amazing voice. As We Lay is a favorite.

[LMmccallL]

*Amber*, years ago, there were computer dating systems where you'd fill out a questionnaire and it would be matched with someone else's in a computer, and sometimes people would find love or at least companionship. I'm too young to have experienced that, but have read about it, heard people talk about it and have seen it in movies and on TV. Different types of computer love have been around for a while. Technology making love happen. 😀
Also, this song was released in 1985.
Please tell Jordan that this song has been mentioned many times in the comments, not just a couple of times in email. It was suggested under the first video of them on your channel.

Check out their song "Grapevine" and also the version before it by the amazing *Marvin Gaye* .

That's Shirley Murdock singing along with Charlie Wilson. He's the lead singer of *The GAP Band* .
You should check out Shirley singing "As We Lay".

Also, I don't think the band actually broke up. They did have some time off for a while, and if not for Roger's brother shooting him to death, the band probably would have given us more.

Will you please listen to *Teddy Pendergrass* singing....

"Turn Off the Lights"

"Come Go with Me"

"Love TKO"

"Close the Door"

These songs can make a couple slow dance in more ways than one. [wink wink... nudge... nudge] 😉😀
My parents used to slow dance to Teddy's singing all the time as we'd giggle, then one day during a friend's party while in middle school, my first boyfriend and I danced to "Computer Love" by Zapp, and "Close the Door" by Teddy. 😳
I told my mom about how the night went and how I slow danced to Teddy. She said "Now, you know. I bet you won't giggle at us, again." 😄
