Lori Black

Lori Black lived the most surprising life. While her elder siblings chose to stay out of the spotlight, Black worked in the music industry for the majority of her youth. She was the bassist for the band the Melvins and dated the singer Buzz Osborne, who was a huge influence for grunge legend Kurt Cobain. Her mother Shirley Temple was heavily involved in her daughter's band, becoming a mother figure to all of her daughter's bandmates.

Melvins drummer Dale Crover shared, "Lori was a really solid bass player," adding, "She had really good meter and would bust me for speeding up, which helped me become a more solid player. I really liked her." She was asked to leave the band in 1992 due to her substance abuse issues.
Her mother was there for Lori as she recovered from her addictions. Temple helped her get into a rehab program and many believe she saved her daughter's life. Lori Black lives a quiet life working as a photographer.
