Baby Ray & the Ferns - How's your Bird?

One of Frank Zappa's early records from Cucamonga, with Ray Collins on vocals. This record is the A-side to 'The Worlds Greatest Sinner' on Donna Records, cut at Studio Z in 1963. Snork r&b at its best!

Same with me! I come intensely curious about Zappa, having heard his name but knowing nothing of his work.

@Saltheigh You've got an insanely long way to go then! Funny, beautiful, outrageous, and timeless music! you can find his discography on torrent. Enjoy it!

Thank you for posting this. Just heard the Zappa on Steve Allen clip and was curious to hear this song.

@Saltheigh yeah, Zappa really made all kinds of music. He didn't just made joke music, like the songs of him on the radio. One of the greatest composers ever

@joesephwind me too. Awesome find.

[rangulo]

@joesephwind I just did that too! :)

perfect period

After almost 50 (!!) years this song is still funny . A modern composer refuses to die!

@Saltheigh Go see Zappa Plays Zappa in concert. His son Dweezil put together an amazing band and is touring Frank's music. Been 5 times, going a 6th in Dec. and it's amazing every time. Highest quality musicianship and sound engineering I have ever heard! zappaplayszappa com
