fascinating series of photos from the archives of LIFE magazine, giving readers a peek inside the homes of the parents/grandparents of some of the most influential musical artists from the 1970's, including the likes of Frank Zappa

Grace Slick with mother Virginia Wing in her mom's home in Palo Alto

David Crosby standing with father Floyd in father's house in Ojai

Donovan and parents in the UK; The Jackson Five in Encino, CA

Eric Clapton with his grandmother Rose in the house he bought her in Surrey

Elton John with his mother Shelia and stepfather Fred Fairebrother in their London apartment

We'd love to see the same sort of series, but with artists from the 80's, 90, 00's-now, and from a variety of genres.

Did Prince grow up with a home with any significant amount of purple in it (like Zappa)?
