Little Feat is an American band formed by singer-songwriter, frontman and guitarist Lowell George and keyboard player Bill Payne in 1969 in Los Angeles. Several of the bandmates had played with George in previous bands before. However, after close to a decade, the fast life caught up with George and he passed away. The band broke up shortly after George's death in August, 1979, and reformed nine years later. Singer and musician Craig Fuller from the band, Pure Prairie League was familiar with George's vocal style, in particular, and the band re-joined, re-vitalized. However, a change of vocalist in 1993 ushered in the third incarnation of Little Feat. The band plays a mixture of blues, R&B, country, New Orleans funk, and rock and roll.
