If only the schoolyard bullies in Washington, D.C. could see what became of Elgin Lumpkin. Intoxicated by the magic of Michael Jackson’s moonwalk on Motown 25, Elgin saw a new universe of his own potential. Handsome and super cool, he straddled urban rap and came out as a loverman. Dimming the lights in his bachelor pad, he dipped into the ’70s funk songbook and took a page penned by Zapp’s Roger Troutman. Ginuwine transformed the vocoder into a cyborg mating call and rode “Pony” up the charts.
