White's vocals can be heard on Zappa in New York and You Are What You Is as well as others. White can also be found on a The Torture Never Stops and Does Humor Belong in Music?; the former is a DVD from Zappa's 1981 tour and the latter filmed at the pier in New York in 1984; the video features White and Ike Willis' vocal harmonies.
