I know this song was recorded by someone called Napoleon XIV, but what was his real name?

Napoleon XIV was the pseudonym of record producer Jerry Samuels (b. 1938 New York City) who had moderate success with his composition "They're Coming to Take Me Away Ha-Haaa!" when first released in 1966 (reaching #4 on the UK Singles Chart that year). Blockbuster success with the record when it was re-issued by Warner Brothers Records in 1973.
