Zappa.com

It's the guy that says, "that's right folks' don't touch that dial" on  I'm the Slime.

Sure it is.

saw the name on your website.  thought you'd be interested in know that my cousin kin also sang backup (sometimes uncredited) on some elvis material as well

i was very surprised to find he had recorded with mr. zappa (of whom i am a fan) and only found out when reading liner notes.  when i asked about why he never told me (he had been a musical hero since i was a child) he said he didn't really tell many of his family members because of frank's reputation. kin came from a pretty conservative southern family. he used to, on occasion, come to family reunions and sing with myself and some other family members, all of whom are fairly musical.  i didn't talk to him much, but know some musicians in nashville who he helped guide through their careers.  he had 2 top 40 country hits and wrote or co-wrote many songs that were performed by others. enjoyed you zappa site

hi i was married to kin from 1964 to 1972. during that time, kin was singing with the back porch majority,had a solo career, joined the first edition,and then zappa. we were separate by the time zappa came around, so i don't know too much about that era. kin had quite a life. we had a daughter, karla. in addition to his resume, kn also sang back up for lionel ritchie's all nite long album my first night alone without you, was written for me when we split up. the song was first recorded by jane olivor and the title of her firstalbum. ray charles also recorded it. don't know which album. maybe you could help me fnd that one. he overcame many obstacles by working hard on himself and thru all that became agreat person. he helped so many people with their careers, like faith hill. she was his receptionist in nashville. he left nashville in 1992 &came back to l.a. to put a touring version of the first edition, along with terr williams,another former member. this is when he found out he had cancer,b& within 6o he died

he is greatly missed by all & i lost mybest friend. i never in my life have heard anyone sing like hm & never will. thank you for your interest in one of the most brilliantly talented people that ever lived. sincerely, gloria vassy
