On this day in 1993, Frank Zappa died. Back in ’73, Frank released “Over-Nite Sensation.” He used Tina Turner and the Ikettes to sing backup on three tracks, “Montana,” “I’m the Slime,” and “Dirty Love.”
Frank Zappa composed a song in thirteen. Aptly titled “Thirteen,” he introduced it thusly in concert: “Now this little, this little number is in thirteen, it’s subdivided 5/8 and 4/4 if you wanna clap your hands. 12-123-1234 12-123-1234 12-123-1234 12-123-1234…”
