The best Lord Buckley (1904-1960) bio is on Wikipedia. There's also alot about Lord Buckley's influences on various 60(s) musicians and entertainers on Wikipedia and in Richie Untenberger's sleeve notes to the cd release. Most notable are Dylan & Zappa. Dylan covered Buckley's rap "Black Cross", a civil rights era song available on the Great White Wonder. But his stage act and 'raps' were claimed to be influential amongst the Greenwich Village 'folkie" circle.

For those interested here's an excerpt from Richie Unterberger cd sleeve notes about Zappa's involvement and the background to this LP. You can google the whole thing.
"Even though Buckley had passed away in 1960, when Frank Zappa assembled A Most Immaculate Aristocrat, the comedian had actually been undergoing a renaissance of sorts on record.... Zappa had started the Straight label specifically as an outlet for oddball non-Zappa/Mothers of Invention projects, including the first albums by Alice Cooper (who had, coincidentally, changed their name from the Nazz); Captain Beefheart; avant-folk-jazz-rocker Tim Buckley; psychedelic duo Judy Henske & Jerry Yester; L.A. groupies the GTOs; and a cappella vocal group the Persuasions. In this august company, Lord Buckley fit right in, posthumous a project as it was. Zappa himself edited the tapes; Cal Schenkel, designer of numerous Zappa/Mothers LPs (most famously We're Only in It For the Money), did the cover; and Herb Cohen, Zappa's manager and partner in the Straight label, was credited as executive producer.
   
    The material on A Most Immaculate Aristocrat was recorded in 1956 in Los Angeles by jazz trombonist Lyle Griffin, who also recorded several Buckley singles that found official release that same year on Griffin's Hip label. By the time of these sessions, Buckley had already been in show business for about 30 years, even if he'd only recently struck upon the style for which he would become most renowned. Far from being a real Lord (although he was of English ancestry), he was born Richard Buckley in California in 1906 to a miner and laundress, and had most likely done the rounds of jazz clubs as a comic and emcee since around the late 1920s.

    Though not issued during Buckley's lifetime, the Griffin tapes exhumed for A Most Immaculate Aristocrat -- recorded without musical backing, although the Lord did sometimes use backing musicians on other records -- nonetheless were not superfluous leftovers, featuring some of the pieces that now rank among the comedian's most beloved. Indeed, only two of the five tracks, "Governor Slugwell" and "Bad-Rapping of the Marquis de Sade," had been released in different versions prior to the LP's appearance; the other three routines appeared on vinyl for the first time. Certainly "Bad-Rapping of the Marquis de Sade" was one of Buckley's most famous works, referencing the Marquis's infamous sensibility a good decade before the Velvet Underground introduced it into rock music with "Venus in Furs." Although a live 1960 recording of the rap was included on the 1969 World Pacific LP Bad-Rapping of the Marquis de Sade, the one on A Most Immaculate Aristocrat predates it by four years; a different version of "Governor Slugwell" (titled "Governor Gulpwell"), recorded in 1952, had previously been issued on the 1963 LP The Parabolic Revelations of the Late Lord Buckley: A Collection of Six Lessons By the 'Hip Messiah'."
