Doug Ingle, the last surviving member of the original line-up of heavy rock band Iron Butterfly, has died aged 78.
Ingle was the lead vocalist and organist in the band he co-founded in 1966 - singing their 17-minute long signature hit In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, which featured in a 1995 episode of The Simpsons.
The musician's son announced his father's passing on social media but did not give a cause of death.
In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida featured on Iron Butterfly's 1968 album of the same name, which spent 81 weeks in the top 10 in the US.
