The Doors was an American rock band formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, known for its psychedelic style, poetic lyrics, and the charismatic aura of its lead singer, Jim Morrison. Their music blended blues, rock, jazz, and experimental influences, driven by Ray Manzarek’s distinctive organ and Robby Krieger’s subtle guitar. The band left a lasting mark on rock history with iconic songs like Light My Fire, Riders on the Storm, and Break on Through (To the Other Side), characterized by hypnotic melodies and a mystical atmosphere. Morrison’s captivating and sometimes provocative stage performances contributed to their legend, reinforced by lyrics often inspired by literature and symbolism. The band enjoyed a meteoric rise to success until Morrison’s untimely passing in 1971, leaving behind an enduring musical legacy.
