Unlimited! is the third solo album by Zapp frontman Roger Troutman (credited as "Roger"), released in 1987.[1] It includes a cover of James Brown's 1965 single "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag", as well as Roger's biggest R&B and crossover hit (on the pop charts), "I Want to Be Your Man."
The Los Angeles Times called the album "a put-the-needle-anywhere LP that can only add to Troutman's still-growing reputation as a man with a solid plan for funk's future." The Orlando Sentinel labeled it a "funky, jazzy, rocking album."[2] The St. Petersburg Times deemed "I Want to Be Your Man" "one of the best records of '87."[3] The Sydney Morning Herald judged "Been This Way Before" "a dance track beyond George Clinton, a place where no other artist has gone before."[4]
AllMusic considered Unlimited! to be Troutman's best solo album.
