The New Vaudeville Band was a group created by songwriter Geoff Stephens in 1966 to record his composition "Winchester Cathedral", a song inspired by the dance bands of the 1920s and a Rudy Vallee megaphone style vocal. To his surprise, the song became a transatlantic hit that autumn, reaching the Top 10 in the UK and rising to #1 in the U.S. Global sales of the single were over three million, and reached gold disc status. The track also won a Grammy for Best Contemporary Song in 1967. The lead vocal was sung by John Carter, formerly of The Ivy League. An initial long-playing album was also issued in late 1966 by Fontana Records, also titled Winchester Cathedral.
