(April, 13th, 1945 - June, 29th, 1979)

Lowell George was hired by FZ to replace Ray Collins. In Lowell's words "no-one can replace Ray. He's a singer par excellence...I guess Frank thought I could sing." What Lowell could do was play guitar, something the world would discover soon enough. Lowell George provided guitar and/or vocal for Hot Rats (uncredited), Burnt Weeny Sandwich, Weasels Ripped My Flesh, You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol. 1, You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol. 4, and You Can't Do That On Stage Anymore Vol. 5. He can be seen in the Zappa movie "Uncle Meat (The Film)".

After leaving The Mothers he formed Little Feat with Roy Estrada. His pre Mothers recordings, with the band Factory, were released in 1993 on the FZ produced Lightning-Rod Man CD.
