Wonderful remark about frank being so different....each generation needs and has their own music icons......as a teenager in the seventies we were lucky to have the best
Background vocals by Tina Turner and the Ikettes. Frank was recording in Ike's Bolic Sound studio and the girls were at his disposal. Tina was happy about the work they were doing with Frank and invited Ike in to listen. Ike walks in, says "What is this shit?!" and insists that Frank doesn't credit them on the album and only pay them scale - or what he paid them, $25 each per song. Frank wanted to pay them more because his music was more difficult and would require more rehearsal time, etc. In the end, an invoice was drawn up by the girls and they were paid $25 per hour for 7 1/2 hours each, equaling $187.50 each. They appear on three of Frank's albums. They weren't credited on the first one, Lynn and Debbie were credited on the second (this one) only by first name and Lynn and Debbie did studio overdubs on the third and were credited again, by first name only. Ike Turner was a dick!
@@215Gallagher I mean... in the beginning, he was the force between them. He owned the aforementioned recording studio and all that, but he turned out to be a jerk - to put it lightly - and for him to not recognize interesting music (Zappa) and dismiss it with "what is this shit?!" makes me wonder how he got successful in the first place. Must've been all about Tina.
Thanks long time ago forgot her name. Added nice sound that is rarely used in rock. I think I heard that instrument in some earth, wind, and fire songs.
Zappa arrived from a neighboring dimension. He did/does STUFF with the artistic medium of music that can not be recreated. My favorite quote : Without Deviation From The Norm Progress Is Not Possible Frank Zappa ✌️ Fantastic! Affirmative! So Are U Harri ❣️
@@kosta929 "Zappa was garbage." "Zappa was filth." Wow Marlon, what an interesting life you have posting these deep thoughts about Zappa day after day. Your intellect is very impressive. LOL
"Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love. Love is not music." Music is THE BEST. Frank Zappa
Of all the artists I grew up with....I do not know all the lyrics of the most prolific bands of the era.....but Zappa....I know EVERY FRIGGIN WORD.....its stuck in my brain.....embedded....its happy place. Enjoy this rabbit hole. I suggest Joe's Garage acts 1 & 2
Zappa is haunting me too, words like PRESCIENT VISIONS arise. How can a man gone for 20 years speak about today?00 Oh, this is musically, while I was all about his spoken word. So ALIVE and happening NOW, yet gone for 2 decades?!? Thanks for a new take...
Yeah. I discovered this magnificent bastard and rude prophet when I was about 20. A late night guitar hero's show with a live rendition of Montana with bad polyester and worse pleats. An absolutely magnificent bastard who should have entered the world stillborn.
Hello HarriBest. I'm a long time Zappa fan to say the least. I loved your reaction to Cosmic Debris. I hope you will create a video on "Uncle Remus" next. It was a song well ahead of its time regarding the Civil Rights movement. There's more to Frank Zappa than meets the eye.
Right on. Frank keeps on giving no matter how many listens. Can’t say that for anyone else. Including all my early heroes inching Zep, the Stones, The Who, The Doors… All have gotten stale to my ears. Frank is the all time maestro.
Zappa attended elementary school near me while his family lived in Edgewood, Md. His father worked on the army base that produced mustard gas. According to a story that I just read, one of his elementary teachers said he was mischievous but not bad. Lol He could keep the class entertained with a reenactment of Samson and Delilah.
Franks first classical composition was performed as the season opener for the LONDON PHILHARMONIC SYMPHONY in I believe 1986 or 87 This man was A TRUE MASTER All of his music was writing a symphonic style And the lyrics often dismissed as zany or goofy hold serious insight and wisdom Dumb all over , heavenly bank account both will leave you stunned. And his position on language…. Only concert I have ever attended with both voter registration and adult literacy program booths
The torture never stops is another great track by Frank. Like everybody else is saying in the comments, Frank was a musical genius. The number of stellar musicians that have gone through his band is long. Just about to a man, they'll tell you Franks compositions were some of the hardest music they ever played. The dude is deep.
Aaaah! Please continue with this album and listen to the “Yellow snow suite”, that is: Don’t eat that yellow snow, Nanook rubs it, St Alfonzo’s pancake breakfast and Father O’Blivion. Those four songs hang together and is one significant of Frank Zappa’s many landmarks. You’ve just started the journey in this rabbit hole 😂.
Holy smoke. Just took me back over 40 years lol My first zappa album at 9 years old! Haven't heard this song in 3 decades but haven't forgotten a word!
Moving to Montana is a great song. St. Alphonso's pancake breakfast is also a doozy on the Apostrophe album. I saw him in the mid seventies and he and the band were fantastic. Zappa and Yes were my favorite live shows probably due to musical talent and the constant changes. Fun music that takes you for a ride.
From the LP "Apostrophe" released 1974. I found it 1978, at age 16. My first encounter with Frank 😊 ❤Love from the first chord until the day I die The LP is almost 50 years old, I have listened to it houndreds of times, if not thousands... and it still has the same effect on me. I sing along with a big smile on my face pitying folks that don't understand. Whatever, his music lives on, TH-cam is loaded with live performances and his MANY songs was never exactly the same from one concert to the next. I am happy for all young (er) people with brains that can handle it. Those of you that just have found it as well as those that will. And.... Last but not least Thanks for spreading the word!
I've listened to this song since I bought the album in something like 1974. I have never enjoyed it as much as I did while watching your reaction. Big thumbs up!
Wow Harri, been waiting a long time for this. Background vocal's courtesy of Tina Turner, Linda Sims and Debbie Wilson (the Ikettes) Welcome to Zappa's universe, one of the deepest, most eclectic and wonderful rabbit holes one can go down! “Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love. Love is not music. Music is THE BEST.” ~ Frank Zappa
@@chebrneck That's right, I remember reading about that somewhere, but Frank, God bless him, paid them the going union rate at the time behind Ike's back.
His mixing was stellar. The crispness of the vocals is incredible. And he play that incredible solo through a tiny Pignose amplifier. No one like him. Absolute genius. His material is almost endless. It takes a lifetime to appreciate it all.
Frank was Crazy Good ... The first Musician I saw live in Davis Ca. I think it was 1967. I'll look up one of the most fabulous examples of his Blues Tunes and send your way ...
Just when you think you know who Zappa is, he proves you wrong!! I was introduced to him by a high school boyfriend in the mid 70's. Have to admit, I didn't "get it" at first but as a musician myself I was intrigued by his mixing of genres and breaking of musical norms. It didn't take me long to fall under his musical spell and become a rabid fan. Thanks for the review!!
A few months ago I discovered his music and today I can tell you that I also became a rabid fan. His music, his interviews and his testimony regards the PMRC were a huge reset for me.
There are hundreds of hours of music from Frank for you to listen to & the family trust continues to release new stuff all these years after he passed. You will love the discovery, but you will also never know what to expect & that makes it that much more fun.
I am glad it's finally easy to find and appreciate Zappa. I couldn't afford to chase his recordings when he was still living. I only had enough experience of him to appreciate he was special. The world is catching up to him now. RIP Frank Zappa.
I saw Frank and the band many times and he, and they, were phenomenal every time. I saw the John Lennon-Yoko Ono appearance at Fillmore East with Frank and it was memorable indeed. Cozmik Debris is prime Zappa. Thanks for the reaction.
I was 18 when this album Apostrophe came out. When we’re riding around in a guys car smoking weed and he played the whole thing for us back when you listened to 8 track tapes in the car. The album absolutely blew us away. The mind bending guitar solos in Cosmik Debris and Stinkfoot plus the overall unique attitude and style of the songs!
Hey Harri ✨ FZ is a school of music, hosting a legacy of chosen iconic virtuoso musicians and endless creative possibilities. He was a genius. He was who HE was, no apologies. And even with his unmatched voluminous discography, many of his classical compositions have yet to be heard…Glad you tuned into Frank. Cheers! 🎉
His band is phenomenal. They had to be to keep up with him. Zappa was one of a kind. And he's got so many albums, you'd have to listen to em for a year, non-stop, to hear them all. I don't like all his music, but that's ok. What I do like is so good, it makes up for it. One of my favorites is the Illinois Enema Bandit from the live NYC album. That guitar solo is smoking good.
Also Ian Underwood on sax. Some of the notables who have played with Zappa are Steve Vai, George Duke, Billy Cobham, Jean-Luc Ponty, etc. Yes, Ruth Underwood is one of my favorites. Check her out on several videos her on the Tube...
@@ludlow52 Yeah, Frank always had the best musicians. Monsters in their own right. Even today, I think Ruth gives free music lessons to people who can't afford it. I've seen a few interviews with her and she seems like a very nice person. When I saw Frank & Co, it was primarily the musicians from "Overnite Sensation and Apostrophe" lineups. I think Napoleon Murphy Brock was on board also.
I was 19 in 1973 when I was introduced to Frank Zappa as a young music student, with an album called Hot Rats. I was listening to the Mahavishnu Orchestra and Return To Forever at the time, and Zappa became the instrumental band with vocals. Hot Rats was wild and different. Goodness we'd never heard anything like this before. Glad you love this, sir. Zappa's music is very different throughout. Great channel Best wishes from Doncaster, South Yorkshire.
Besides everything you might say about Frank's musical talents, he was one of the finest human beings to pick up an instrument. Very intelligent and well read with a compassionate heart. The world wasn't ready for him.
I saw Frank live back in 1973, and his attention to detail while performing live was amazing. He always sought out the finest musicians in their fields.
**** Frank was a Genius, Pure and Simple. His writing, playing, conducting and his incredible Wit. He had The Top Musicians in his bands, especially with Apostrophe and Over Night Sensation. "You could make more $ as a Butcher, so don't you was you time on me." Brilliant.
💗💗💗happy to see this has 60k views. Zappa's not dead, he just smells a little funny...
Frank Zappa, America's greatest musical genius. He would have made a great President too.
Absolutely my man!!
Absolutely love Frank and the mothers one hell of guitarist and song writer deep deep rabbit hole
AND one of America's greatest guitarists.
Wonderful remark about frank being so different....each generation needs and has their own music icons......as a teenager in the seventies we were lucky to have the best
Learned about Franks music at the age of 11, hooked for life! (i'm 58 now!).
59 and 10 yrs old
Oh man , i love these Zappa reactions especialy for the first time . I know and love every of these songs
Frank was the man. One of my favorite guitar soloists. Awesome

Touring soon.🎸🎸🎸
Tina Turner and the Ikettes were the backup singers… Crazy good stuff!

Thanks for info friend.
Always loved Duke's ornaments on this tune.
Frank Zappa is a deep and wonderful rabbit hole to explore! Pure genius!
That's because the rabbit hole turns out to be an entire underground civilization!
Away with that shit pathetic zappa 😂
Wow where does one start
FVZ = GENIO
There are so many treasures amongst Zappas' 60 plus albums... Where to begin? Beats the hell out of me:: have fun.
Peace be upon you, sir.
Zappa is one of America's greatest composers.
If I could get ahold of All of Zappa recordings without lyrics, it would be worth a small fortune. They are Brilliant.
The one and only Frank Zappa really was a great musician! Talk about originality! He had his vision and expanded its horizon!
@1.04: When that gentle smile started to evolve, I just KNEW he was already hooked. Not bad for a first hearing.
Zappa arrived from a neighboring dimension. He did/does STUFF with the artistic medium of music that can not be recreated. My favorite quote :
Without
Deviation
From
The Norm
Progress Is Not Possible
Frank Zappa ✌️ Fantastic! Affirmative! So Are U Harri ❣️
Zappa offers quite a unique ride. Hope you enjoy the journey. Love seeing you really getting into this music.
Frank has some of the deepest, craziest discography. Man was an absolute genius- thanks for the reaction!
I think Tina Turner is one of the back-up singers on this song.
@@bloppysloppy2283 Yes and the Ikettes.

Frank was the exception.. His uniqueness as a person and musician has never been replicated.. His music is The Best♥️

I was about to recommend the same.....This is the central scruuuuuutinizer!
Great video, Harri. I am a long time Zappa aficionado. By the way, I think weird is a great word and I think Frank would agree. Have a wonderful week.
The best ever
Wild computations.
Fifty years later We are having mind blown.
And Fun Happy Music 🍉
Welcome to the wonderful world of Zappa!
Loved Zappa when I was a teenager. '70s
Frank Zappa is beyond any evaluation. There can be only one!!!!! 🎸😎🌈💕☮☯
At least we have Deweazl who can actually do his music justice.
Zappa was filth
Right on! We were growing to this in high school....saw him late 70's Providence civic center...he did this song.. THE SHOW WAS .AWESOME
We recently lost Ralph Humphrey who was the great drummer on this track. R.I.P. Ralph.
I didn't know that. April 23rd. RIP, Ralph. He and Chester trading licks on ROXY & Elsewhere was amazing!
Thanks for sharing this sad fact
Away with the pathetic shit zappa
RIP
One of my biggest influences on drums. I ate this album along w Apostrophe since my teen yrs. Ralph was such a technician and stellar musician
Frank Zappa released 84 albums, I have 79 of them. There is a lot to choose from and it will all blow your mind.
Great reaction. I always love to watch people listening to Zappa for a first time.
Zappa is haunting me too, words like PRESCIENT VISIONS arise. How can a man gone for 20 years speak about today?00
Oh, this is musically, while I was all about his spoken word. So ALIVE and happening NOW, yet gone for 2 decades?!?
Thanks for a new take...
Absolutely.Play.More.Zappa!
Yes ! I did enjoy it and I am glad that you enjoyed it also.I hope you have may more Life enhancing moments through the joy and pleasure of music.
It so fun to watch someone discover just how amazing FZ could be. 😀
Excellent review. You caught every nuance.
Frank was ahead of his time. A musical genius. Thanks Hari. Much appreciated 🙏
He was timeless. Nobody else remotely compares to him. One of a kind.
Zappa was filth
Yeah. I discovered this magnificent bastard and rude prophet when I was about 20. A late night guitar hero's show with a live rendition of Montana with bad polyester and worse pleats. An absolutely magnificent bastard who should have entered the world stillborn.

Co-written by the amazing George Duke
Love Zappa - this one reminds me of his song Montana.
Zappa was a musical genius! One of the few artists from the early ‘70’s that I’m not burned out on.
Right! My neighbors listen to Frank everyday........................BECAUSE THEY FUCKING HAVE TO!😉😂😈
He wrote more music than most people could digest in two lifetimes!
He was a true original. I miss him.. But there's sooooooo much music!
Zappas shit music without sense sucked 🤣
Right on. Frank keeps on giving no matter how many listens. Can’t say that for anyone else. Including all my early heroes inching Zep, the Stones, The Who, The Doors… All have gotten stale to my ears. Frank is the all time maestro.
Thanks for presenting Frank Zappa to some new listeners. Hope to see more.
"Montana", "Dynamo Hum" "The Slime" etc. etc. etc. All wonderfully unique songs.
Was fortunate to have seen Frank in '77 at the Music Hall in Houton, TX. Still to this day one of my favorite concerts.
Zappa attended elementary school near me while his family lived in Edgewood, Md. His father worked on the army base that produced mustard gas.
According to a story that I just read, one of his elementary teachers said he was mischievous but not bad. Lol
He could keep the class entertained with a reenactment of Samson and Delilah.
First time hearing this tune. Absolutely infectious! Funk, Jazz and straight ahead rock all rolled up into one! God bless you Frank! A pure genius!!
Franks first classical composition was performed as the season opener for the LONDON PHILHARMONIC SYMPHONY in I believe 1986 or 87
This man was A TRUE MASTER
All of his music was writing a symphonic style
And the lyrics often dismissed as zany or goofy hold serious insight and wisdom
Dumb all over , heavenly bank account both will leave you stunned.
And his position on language…. Only concert I have ever attended with both voter registration and adult literacy program booths
Ther's ya first Gangsta Rapper ... NUFF SAID !!!
The amount of time ive spent lisntin to zappa with a room full of mates n blunts, love it!

Zappa was a disgusting person, an arrogant asshole and ignorant
Zappas shit music without sense sucked 😂
And kudos for entering the Zappa universe... It is vast and wide ranging... Keep an open mind and dig the musicality...
I love watching people discover Zappa. There’s much much more amazing music from Frank. I hope you react to more!
true :)
Right on !! I've had the bug since the '80s. I remember, " Frank Zappa meets The Mothers of Prevention", album being released.
Zappa was last shit
Saw Frank Zappa and the mothers in Pittsburgh at the Syria Mosque in early 70's what an incredible show!
Frank was a timeless musical genius with a great sense of humor.
Loved your reaction, Happy to know that he is alive in some way.
Stink-Foot from the same album is also a great tune...!
He had his own take on the counter-culture of the time.
Nothing was safe, truly unique.
Fifty years and he still sounds unusual! Frank Zappa was a genius, no doubt!
That was a great version of that song and enjoyed your considered reaction to it. Glad you loved it.
Aaaah! Please continue with this album and listen to the “Yellow snow suite”, that is: Don’t eat that yellow snow, Nanook rubs it, St Alfonzo’s pancake breakfast and Father O’Blivion. Those four songs hang together and is one significant of Frank Zappa’s many landmarks. You’ve just started the journey in this rabbit hole 😂.
One of my most fav albums of Zappa's ,miss u Frank ,dec .will be 30 yrs gone ,now❤😢.Been a fan since 68
The amazing drummer on this track, Ralph Humphries just passed away. Tina Turner and the Ikettes are the backup singers.
oh no... I'm 9 months late to mourn Ralph. Thanks for the info....
Holy smoke. Just took me back over 40 years lol
My first zappa album at 9 years old!
Haven't heard this song in 3 decades but haven't forgotten a word!
Moving to Montana is a great song. St. Alphonso's pancake breakfast is also a doozy on the Apostrophe album. I saw him in the mid seventies and he and the band were fantastic. Zappa and Yes were my favorite live shows probably due to musical talent and the constant changes. Fun music that takes you for a ride.
I've always dreamed of being a dental floss tycoon.
Apostrophe is a stellar album with nary a bad track on it!!
Raising up some dental foss, raising it up, waxing it down in a little white box that I can sell uptown... Love it!
Without shit ugly zappa, the music World would be much better 😂😂
Ahhh, Mr.Zappa......
