I lived in California when the Doors came to light. I was a typical California girl around 15 years old at the beach. One day at the beach, we heard a band playing and everyone gravitated toward the sound. It was what would come to be one of the greatest bands in rock. My cousin was a writer for Cream magazine so I got to meet many of what are now legends. What a great time in music and culture that was. The last time I saw Jim Morrison was in Hawaii. He was so out there that he had no clue where he was. We were all standing backstage where the limo was sitting just outside. The guys came out and got into the limo, except for Jim. Jim looked at everyone and walked right in the middle of us and threw his arms and head back and everyone started ripping his shirt off. Ray was yelling "Get in the Goddamn car Jim", but Morrison was in a completely different world. I remember looking right into his eyes as he stood right in front of me, and I felt a sadness in my soul because he was lost. Finally, the limo slowly moved into the crowd and they pulled Jim in the car by the seat of his pants. The first time I saw Jim Morrison, he was so shy and so cool, the last time I saw Jim Morrison, he was somebody that he didn't even know. What a genius he was. What a pity that drugs and alcohol robbed us of so many talented and gifted artist. RIP Jim and Pam.

First song I remember getting stuck in my head. Jim Morrison was so ahead of his time. Definitely someone to learn from. I’m sure he had so much more to create. Flawed though he may be, his legacy is prominent and still influential to those who understand what kind of artist he was. The entire band were definitely excellent and unique artists. Probably outshined by Jim. But are equal in their creativity

Jim was(in my mind)the most charismatic male rock vocalist of all time.The Doors for me are in my top 5 greatest rock bands.When I first heard "Light My Fire" written by guitarist Robbie Krieger - bang I went out and bought the album 'The Doors'.Of course I wore that out but no problem,went and bought a new 1.Had to do that one more time and took much better care of that record.'Cheers'.

Well its not "crazy" guess, just kind of funny lol basically my dad was 20 years old trying to get into a bar but he was under age so they didnt let him. Then Jim Morrison comes along and gave him his I.D. and told him "here man use this and see if they let you in". They still didnt so he gave the I.D. back, then they went to someones apartment and dropped acid together. Jim was gone the next day, end of story. The funny part is, this all happened like 3 months before the doors first album came out so when this all happened my dad had no clue who he was. After hearing the album and realizing who it was he was like "dammit i should have kept his I.D." haha i wish he did because i would have it today. Oh well 🤘😎🤘

In 2001, when I was 13 years old, our art teacher at our school had an old record player with a single speaker, and she had this album. Once I heard this song roar through that crappy vinyl record player I was hooked on real rock and roll, the doors, and vinyl records. Something about the crunch and grain, and the tone of this song on vinyl... its like it was designed for that format. It still doesnt sound as visceral in digital format... what a high energy masterpiece, transcendent of genre and era. Thanks Jim, glad you existed.

That was the first track on their first album. The Doors were truly born at their apex. Imagine that you had never heard of these guys, someone said "Hey check out the Doors" so you bought this album and put it on your turntable in 1967. What the hell is is? Is it jazz? Is it blues? This is such a 'grab you by the balls' song that it doesn't matter. Their sound didn't grow and evolve, like The Beatles. THey were simply The Doors from the fist second you heard them. Probably the best intro hit to any band ever. Yea, Beatles were the best band ever but would you think that if you only heard Please Please Me or Love Me Do? The Beatles were good enough to make you want to hear more and of course they definitely lived up the great potential they showed but The Doors were awesome sounding seconds before Morrison's voice came into the song. You could become a major Doors fan just from the first thing you ever heard from them.
