### From Wikipedia, a free encyclopedia written in simple English for easy reading.

Captain Beefheart AKA Don Van Vliet born Don Glen Vliet (1941-) was an American singer. He was best known for his collaberations and (sometimes) rivalry, with long time friend, Frank Zappa. He is quite underrated, but remains an inspiration to many "alternative" singers. He is retired from music due to illness and spends his time painting, these days. He was born in Glendale, California. His stage name came from a film project Zappa was writing, but soon abandoned, "Captain Beefheart battles the Grunt People".
