I know very little of his work, I heard couple of tunes where he plays in his father band but that's all he seems a very talented player do you have any recommandation for records ?

I really only know him from his bass-playing on Zappa's "Peaches En Regalia" but I'm open to suggestions of other works of his to give a listen...

I never knew he played bass for Zappa.The album I have is Suggie Otis plays the blues,and alot the the stuff recorded he was 15 yrs old,I heard he retired from playing at 22 yrs. old but great stuff if you can find it.Sumi

Boy, there is a name I've not heard in years. Good guitar player.

Check out his work on "Kooper Sessions, Al Kooper Introduces Shuggie Otis". Good stuff for a teenager!!

Shuggie's dad Johnnie Otis was a pretty good R&B guy.

happened to Shuggie but no one could give me an answer.Sumi
