 In a Gadda Da Vida - Iron Butterfly
 http://youtu.be/ZCkHanF4v1w

 Iron Butterfly formed in San Diego, California; a classic rock band
 song, ranked 24th greatest hard rock song of all time by VH1. One of best
 drum solos in rock history. This song takes up the whole of side two. Vinyl
 album still in my record collection - mint condition - purchased at Tower
 records in Hollywood in 1968.

 Doug Ingle - organ, lead vocals
 Erik Brann - guitars, backing vocals
 Lee Dorman - bass guitar, backing vocals
 Ron Bushy - drums, percussion

 "The band's seminal 1968 album In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida is among the world's
 40 best-selling albums, selling more than 30 million copies. Iron Butterfly
 is also notable for being the very first group to receive an RIAA platinum
 award."
