The Doors

The Doors are a four membered outstanding influential band that were introduced in 1960's. They weren't only famous for they're singing and song writing but their relationship between the audience and them. They sang about peace and love. There has never been a band quite like them. They first signed to Eleckta Records. Some songs that were famous at first for them were, Light My Fire, back Door Man, The End, Five To One and Hello I Love You.

The Doors were also a very unusual band because they didn't have a bass, they had a keyboard, dark poetic lyrics, which made creepy music. They called the lead singer ( Jim Morrison) the Lizard King.

An interesting fact about the Doors is that they pushed boundries against they're audience, they pretended to masturbate and got arrested. They're style is all about the hippie, they dressed with colorful suit jackets, and long flaring pants.

The members that were in the band were:

Jim Morrison - vocals
Ray Manzarek- organ keyboard
Robbie Kreiger- guitarist
John Densmore- drums


The group started in the Los Angeles, CA and were fully formed in 1965. They're band were widely known for the wild poetic lyrics and the enthusiastic, and chaotic stage persona. Throughout they're career there was a death in the band, Jim Morrison died in 1971 from a drug overdose and the three remaining members conti nued for another couple years until 1973 when they split apart. In they're career they sold over 32.5 million albums in the US alone.

This is a song that they wrote and was known for the poetry in it. This is the style that was forming. This is they're first song " Light My Fire"

You know that it would be untrue

You know that I would be a liar

If I was to say to you

Girl, we couldn't get much higher

Come on baby, light my fire

Come on baby, light my fire

Try to set the night on fire

The time to hesitate is through

No time to wallow in the mire

Try now we can only lose

And our love become a funeral pyre

Come on baby, light my fire

Come on baby, light My fire

Try to set the night on fire, yeah

The time to hesitate is through

No time to wallow in the mire

Try now we can only lose

And our love

become a funeral pyre

Come on baby, light my fire

Come on baby, light my fire

Try to set the night on fire, yeah

You know that it would be untrue

You know that I would be a liar

If I was to say to you

Girl, we couldn't get much higher

Come on baby, light my fire

Come on baby, light my fire

Try to set the night on fire

Try to set the night on fire

Try to set the night on fire

Try to set the night on fire
