Iconic Rock And Roll Artist Dead At 78

The singer and songwriter of an iconic classic-rock hit has died…

Doug Ingle, who sang, wrote and played organ on “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida,” the haunting 1968 hit by rock band Iron Butterfly, was 78. A cause of death hasn’t been released. Ingle is said to have composed “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” after consuming a gallon of wine. The original version clocked in at 17 minutes. A single version edited to less than a fifth of that running time gave Iron Butterfly their sole top 40 hit.
