They derived their name from references to the doors of perception in works by William Blake and Aldous Huxley. The groups dark, brooding personality came largely from singer Jim Morrison. Musically, the other members of the Doors - keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger and drummer Jon Densmore - combined classical rigor with freewheeling, jazzy improvisations, providing Morrison a platform from which to declaim his poetical lyrics in a portentous baritone. The source of Morrisons intensity was addressed in an early interview: Its the feeling of a bowstring being pulled back for twenty-two years and suddenly let go. When they werent performing original songs about sex, death and the unknown, the Doors would occasionally transform old blues numbers, such as Willie Dixons Back Door Man and John Lee Hookers Crawling King Snake. The Doors formed in the summer of 1965 around Morrison and Manzarek, whod met at UCLAs film school. A year later the group signed with Elektra Records, recording six landmark studio LPs and a live album for the label. They achieved popular success and critical acclaim for their 1967 debut, The Doors (which included their eleven-minute epic The End and Light My Fire, a Number One hit at the height of the Summer of Love), and all the other albums that followed. As the Doors career wore on, however, Morrisons problems with drugs and alcohol resulted in increasingly unpredictable behavior, culminating in an alleged incident of exposure onstage at a March 1969 concert in Miami. The Doors rebounded from this adversity with one of their finest albums, L.A. Woman, which contained the Top Forty hits Love Her Madly and Riders On the Storm. After its release, Morrison took a leave of absence from the Doors and moved to Paris, where he died of a heart attack on July 3, 1971.
