ARTIST BACKGROUND

About The Doors

The Doors formed in Los Angeles around Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger and John Densmore. Their 1967 debut introduced songs including Break on Through and Light My Fire. Six studio albums with Morrison developed a repertoire drawing on rock, blues and extended song forms; later band albums and individual members' solo work form separate parts of their history.
