The Zapp – Zapp album from 1979 is a classic funky funk album sprinkled with soul music. This album stood the test of time and still stands the test of time today. The whole album was heavily influenced by the sounds of funk and soul. There is no doubt about that. Zapp’s 1979 album included the funky smash singles More Bounce To The Ounce and Be Alright.
Zapp created an all time funk melody called More Bounce To The Ounce which is still heavily sampled to this day. Of course anyone can sample More Bounce To The Ounce by Zapp. The usage of samples from Zapp – More Bounce To The Ounce have increased over time as the years went by. What mostly stands on this song are the beats because the beats which Roger Troutman had produced are set to an upbeat pace.
Be Alright was the song which encouraged people to keep their heads up when times get rough. Although things may be tough, you’ve got to keep your head up. The song has a sad brooding downtempo sound which follow an upbeat funk pace and tempo.

[Verse 1]

Player, he’s a player
Player, brand new player
[Verse 2]

If your feeling kinda blue how about you ease the pain
Now can’t helped it that your [?] are all due
If you honeys playing around ain’t a thing I can do
Sing a song, well, well anything of he’s got some kinda magic touch
When I play my guitar everybody’s gonna feel real loose
Bust a loose and get down!
Get down
[Chorus]
Player, brand new player
Player, he’s a player
Player, brand new player
