Barry Winslow (born 1948) was the lead singer and guitarist for The Royal Guardsmen. The Royal Guardsmen Winslow formed The Royal Guardsmen In 1965, originally as the Posmen. They singled to Laurie Records in 1965. Snoopy vs. the Red Baron Their second single, Snoopy vs. the Red Baron, based off the Peanuts character of the same name, went to number one in Canada. Since Peanuts creator, Charles M. Schulz, didn't at first give permission for the usage of Snoopy, they re-recorded the song as "Squeaky vs. the Black Knight" until permission was granted. Snoopy vs. the Red Baron would chart at No. 2 (behind The Monkees I'm a Believer) on the Billboard Hot 100 on New Year's Eve of 1966. The song started of with member Chris Nunley saying in German: "Achtung! Jetzt wir singen zusammen die Geschichte über den Schweinköpfigen Hund und den lieben Red Baron", Which is a purposeful mistranslation of the English: "Attention!

Their follow up single, Snoopy's Christmas, went to number one in Australia and New Zealand. The band split in 1970, and was reformed again by Winslow in 1975, although he would leave permanently again in 1978. Winslow and the surviving original members released the song "Snoopy vs. Osama" in 2008. Winslow has since guest appeared at numerous Royal Guardsmen performances. Solo Winslow released one solo single, “The Smallest Astronaut” b/w “Quality Woman” in 1969. The Smallest Astronaut wouldn’t gain commercial success, only charting on Australian charts, at #60. The Smallest Astronaut was the B-side of a 1978 re-issue of Snoopy's Christmas and has also been featured on nearly all of the Royal Guardsmen's compilation albums. In the 1980s, Winslow
