Remembering Doug Ingle 1945-2024

Musician Doug Ingle has died at 78. He was the vocalist and organ-player in Iron Butterfly from 1966–1971, 1978–79, 1983–1985, 1987–88, and 1994–1999.  The psychedelic rock band got big in the 60s thanks to their 1968 hit “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida”, a 17 minute epic (the radio version was heavily edited) that Ingle wrote.  I also liked Slayer’s cover of it on the Less Than Zero soundtrack. The original song has appeared on numerous soundtracks including Manhunter, The Wonder Years, Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare and in a funny episode of The Simpsons.

This news comes only a few years after drummer Ron Bushey died in 2021.

Iron Butterfly Co-founder and “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” Composer Doug Ingle Dies at 78

Doug Ingle, the Iron Butterfly co-founder and organist who wrote and sang “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida,” has died, his son said.

Doug Ingle Jr. said his father died May 24. No cause was given but Ingle Jr. said his father died “peacefully … in the presence of family.”

Ingle was 78 and the last surviving member of both the original and “Vida” lineups of Iron Butterfly, which continues to tour with no ties to the original band.

“Rest in peace, Doug Ingle,” Fernando Perdomo wrote on social media. “The original voice and organ of Iron Butterfly.”

The singer and keyboardist co-founded the band in 1966. It has its greatest success with the 17-minute “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida,” and its companion radio edit, in ’68 and split in 1971.

The group reunited without Ingle in ’74 and released two albums, their last, the following year. Ingle rejoined for reunions in the late-’70s, 1980s and 1990s before retiring from music in 1999.
