"Wild Man" Fischer, a mentally disturbed street singer 'discovered' by Zappa, recorded a double album for Zappa's Bizarre label - "An Evening With Wild Man Fischer", some of it with Zappa and the Mothers of Invention, the rest of it solo, giving full vent to nonmetrical original material. A certified paranoid schizophrenic and acid casualty, Larry was born in los angeles in 1945. By the mid-'60s, he had become a fixture along L.A.'s famed Sunset Strip.

Larry provided vocals for the Beat The Boots series disk Our Man In Nirvana.
