Zapp (also known as the Zapp Band or Zapp and Roger) is undoubtedly the most influential group in the Electro sub-genre of Funk. Zapp achieved most of its mainstream recognition from the single "More Bounce To The Ounce" from their self-titled debut album, now widely regarded as a classic example of early s electronic Funk.
