Inspiration and background
Researched recording background
Break on Through (To the Other Side) opens the Doors' self-titled 1967 debut. The band paired Jim Morrison's voice with Ray Manzarek's keyboards, Robby Krieger's guitar and John Densmore's drums. Its placement at the beginning of the first album makes it an useful entry to the original four-member group's recorded catalog.
Evidence scope: Sourced recording, release or edition context; private songwriting inspiration is not inferred.
