Bass player Lee Dorman passed away on December 21st of natural causes. He was 70.
Dorman was best known for being a part of Iron Butterfly and its iconic opus “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida”. He co-wrote “Termination” with Erik Brann which appears on the In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida LP.
After Iron Butterfly, Dorman and guitarist Larry Reinhardt (who also passed away earlier this year) formed Captain Beyond with Deep Purple vocalist Rod Evans.
Here is a video of Dorman and Brann playing “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida” which aired on public television in Tampa Bay some years ago.

The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

"Don't you know that I'll always be true..."
Besides this weird hit, Iron Butterfly was best known for being blown off the stage by LED ZEPPELIN on a nightly basis, after they made the enormous mistake of signing them on as the opening act when Iron Butterfly went on tour.

Not to mention the strange story of Philip Taylor Kramer, who played with the band in the 70s, became a rocket scientist working on missile guidance, who then disappeared mysteriously in 1995 (fueling speculation that he was kidnapped by the Chinese to fill in the gaps that they weren't able to buy from Clinton-campaign contributors at Loral Systems, or steal with their spies). His skeletal remains were found in 1999 along with his wrecked vehicle in Decker Canyon in California, and as he had been threatening to kill himself at the time of his disappearance, his death was ruledto be a suicide.
