He is also a convicted sex offender, having had two criminal convictions for molesting a child in 1994 and 2012, and he is currently incarcerated, ineligible for parole until he is 93 years old. ==Career== With drummer Jimmy Carl Black and Ray Collins, Estrada was an original member of Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention, having previously been a founding member of the Soul Giants—the band from which the Mothers of Invention was formed. Prior to the Soul Giants, Estrada fronted a band called Roy Estrada and the Rocketeers. The group released at least one single on the King label, "Jungle Dreams (Part 1)" backed with "Jungle Dreams (Part 2)". In addition to his work with Zappa, Estrada formed Little Feat with Lowell George, Richie Hayward and Bill Payne in 1969, playing bass and singing backing vocals on their first two albums before quitting in 1972 to join Captain Beefheart's Magic Band. Beefheart gave him the nickname "Orejón" ('big ears'). He also played bass for Zappa's transitional 1976 ''Zoot Allures'' touring band, and provided vocals and acting for Zappa's 1979 film ''Baby Snakes'', and vocal work for the 1980s Zappa albums ''You Are What You Is'', ''Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch'' and ''The Man from Utopia''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Roy Estrada」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
