Zappa... ahead of their time.

I see Doc Severinsen on trumpet in the band. I loved hearing the Tonight Show band when he led it for years.

Wait... This was the 60s? Did Zappa just say he recorded a female's vocals off of the radio and incorporated it into a pre-recorded track? That means he's perhaps the first artist to sample. According to Wikipedia's article on sampling, apparently "John Kongos is credited in the Guinness World Records as the first person to sample a song with his single, 'He's Gonna Step On You Again'". This would be incorrect according to this video...

"You know, that music sounds a little bit like the music that a very gifted. . . thought I sat on the pie there for a minute. . ."
Steve Allen knew the score.

Glad to hear it. X-D
Try and imagine some talk-show host today bringing on a young, unknown musician to perform something wild like this.
