Proactive. And definitely provocative. Welcome to WatchMojo.com, and today we\u2019re taking a look at the life and career of Frank Zappa.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Early Musical Interest<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Frank Vincent Zappa was born December 21st, 1940 in Baltimore, Maryland, but moved frequently due to his father\u2019s defense industry work. Heavily influenced by avant-garde classical composers, R&amp;B and doo-wop, the young Zappa was soon writing, arranging and conducting complex experimental pieces.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Soul Giants<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">After scoring a couple of ultra-low budget independent films and working with artists like Ray Collins and Captain Beefheart, Zappa became the guitarist for the San Diego band the Soul Giants in 1965. He also began demonstrating what became a lifelong disregard for authority, after six months in jail on bogus porn production charges.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Mothers of Invention<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The assertive and confident musician soon took control of the Soul Giants, and saw them renamed The Mothers of Invention. The Zappa legend swung into gear.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Debut<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Mothers\u2019 1966 debut Freak Out! was the first of some five dozen Zappa albums released over the next 27 years. That double album demonstrated Zappa\u2019s command of different musical styles and featured \u201cTrouble Every Day,\u201d which focused on the racially charged Watts riots. Zappa later penned more complexly satirical lyrics, as skewering anything that promoted authority figures or mindless mainstream attitudes became his passion.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Live Shows and Home Taping<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">During live shows, he proved both his improvisational skills and his experimental side. He often taped his performances and added them to studio recordings to make new material.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Chart Success<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Zappa was hailed as a startlingly original new voice, but many were confused by his constant mixing of genres. The Mothers of Invention did make it into the top 30 of the album charts with 1968\u2019s We\u2019re Only in It for the Money, and scored a gold record for 1973\u2019s Over-Nite Sensation, but most of their recordings were embraced by critics rather than mainstream audiences.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Accidents<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 1971, Zappa\u2019s career was almost cut short. As recounted in Deep Purple\u2019s hit \u201cSmoke on the Water,\u201d he was performing with a new version of The Mothers at Casino de Montreux in Switzerland when the band\u2019s gear was destroyed by fire. Scarcely a week later, during a London gig, Zappa endured a life-threatening accident when he was pushed off-stage by a fan. Broken bones, head injuries and serious damage to his larynx left the singer wheelchair-bound for months.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Commercial Success<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Zappa rebounded, and had his only top 10 success with 1974\u2019s Apostrophe, which he released as a solo artist. The gold record contained his first single ever to hit the Hot 100 charts: \u201cDon\u2019t Eat the Yellow Snow\u201d peaked at number 86, but became one of his most recognizable tracks.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 \u00a0American and European Recognition<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">In 1979, Zappa found mainstream U.S. success when the disco-satirizing \u201cDancin\u2019 Fool,\u201d off the live record Sheik Yerbouti reached number 45. He also found European success with that album\u2019s \u201cBobby Brown.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 \u00a0\u201cJoe\u2019s Garage\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Zappa\u2019s masterwork, Joe\u2019s Garage, was released later that same year. The rock opera merged Zappa\u2019s concerns with individual will, government, religion and sexuality, and his wildly eclectic music taste, in one stunning package.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 \u00a0\u00a0Moon Unit and Censorship<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Further U.S. success came with the 1982 single, \u201cValley Girl,\u201d which he created with his daughter Moon Unit. Three years later, Zappa made headlines by appearing at a Senate hearing to denounce the Parents Music Resource Center, whose aggressive promotion of a ratings system for \u201cexplicit lyrics\u201d he found repellent.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Grammy Award<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">He won his first Grammy for the 1986 instrumental record Jazz from Hell, which he recorded by using a Synclavier synthesizer.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022 \u00a0Cancer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Unfortunately, Zappa was diagnosed with inoperable prostate cancer in 1990. He focused his last few years on orchestral works and conducted his pieces at the Frankfurt Festival in 1992. On December 4th, 1993, he passed away.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022\u00a0Posthumous Releases<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Death did not diminish Zappa\u2019s fame: more than two dozen Zappa recordings were released posthumously, and his family is intent on keeping the Zappa legacy alive. Rolling Stone also named him one of the 100 Greatest Artists and Guitarists of All Time, while artists as disparate as Alice Cooper, George Clinton and Jimi Hendrix have acknowledged his influence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>\u2022\u00a0Musical Legacy<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Frank Zappa was one of the first rock artists to build bridges between genres like rock, jazz, classical and musique concrete. He will long be remembered as one of rock\u2019s most fervent foes of censorship and narrow-mindedness.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u00f7\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00f7\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00f7\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00f7\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00f7\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00f7<\/h6>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #800000;\">\u00a0\u00a4 \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BN-WtV-IL68\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Captain Beefheart<\/a> \u00a0 [1941-2010]<\/span><\/h3>\n<h5 id=\"watch-headline-title\" style=\"text-align: right;\">\u2207\u00a0 \u00a0Sure &#8216;nuff &#8216;n Yes I do \u00a0\u2193<\/h5>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nfa6j_ru4x4\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Well I was born in the desert came on up from New Orleans<br \/>\nCame up on a tornado sunlight in the sky<br \/>\nI went around all day with the moon sticking in my eye<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Hey hey hey all you young girls wherever you&#8217;re at<br \/>\nI got a brand new Cadillac I got a Ferrari too<br \/>\nSure &#8216;nuff baby sure &#8216;nuff &#8216;n yes I do<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Got the time to teach ya&#8217;
