He was best known as the lead singer with the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band. The jazz/comedy/eccentric English band (whose members also included Neil Innes and ‘Legs’ Larry Smith) are known to most for their appearance onstage during the strip club scene in Magical Mystery Tour (“Death Cab For Cutie”). Seen and heard here: The Bonzos’ highest-charting single, 1968’s “I Am The Urban Spaceman,” produced by one Apollo C. Vermouth (Macca to you).
Stanshall died in a fire at 51 in 1995.
