Search YouTube for "frank zappa steve allen" for the earliest version of Frank Zappa as he burst on the musical scene. He was light-years ahead of his time. An amazing inspiration.

thanks joedeshon! amazing indeed

Zappa made his contemporaries look like amateurs. His genius ( a word often used incorrectly) was of the calibre of Mozart.
He could express humour without relying on lyrics.
We'll never see another Frank Zappa.
