Elephant's Memory is an American rock band that was formed in New York City in the late 1960s. The band was originally known as The Fugs, but changed their name to Elephant's Memory in 1967. They are best known for their association with John Lennon and Yoko Ono, and for their appearance in the film "Imagine: John Lennon". The band's lineup consisted of Stan Bronstein (saxophone), Rick Frank Jr. (drums), Myron Yules (bass), Michal Shapiro (vocals), and John Ward (guitar) in their early days. Later, they added additional members including pianist Adam Ippolito and guitarist Wayne "Tex" Gabriel. They were known for their energetic live performances and their fusion of rock, blues, and jazz. Elephant's Memory worked with John Lennon and Yoko Ono on several projects, including their albums "Sometime in New York City" and "Mind Games". They also appeared in the film "Imagine: John Lennon", and provided the backing band for Lennon and Ono's famous "One to One" concerts at Madison Square Garden in 1972.

The band broke up in the late 1970s, but reformed in the 2000s and continued to perform sporadically.
