Doug Ingle head man from Iron Butterfly passed away Friday he was 78.
A good story.
Ingle is said to have composed “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” after consuming a gallon of wine. Iron Butterfly drummer Ron Bushy transcribed Ingle’s lyrics as Ingle drunkenly sang and Bushy misheard the passage “in the Garden of Eden” as “in-a-gadda-da-vida.” The rest is rock history.

Rest in Peace Mr. Ingle. I remember listening to In A Gadda Da Vida on a reel to reel 4 track over and over.

RIP Doug Ingle. Iron butterfly was one of my favorites back in the day.
I think In a Gadda Da Vida had the longest drum solo.

Saw them perform back in the day.
Split a beer in the wings with a participant.
Iron Butterfly were doing a few dates with the Grateful Dead.
The bands alternated as the opening act for each other.
At that time, the drawing power of the bands were about equal.
