The band was formed in Florida in 1966 and consisted of members Barry Winslow, Chris Nunley, Tom Richards, Bill Balough, and John Burdett. The song "Snoopy vs. the Red Baron" was a hit, reaching number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and selling over one million copies.
The Royal Guardsmen continued to release songs inspired by the Peanuts comic strip characters, including "Snoopy's Christmas" and "The Return of the Red Baron."
