Book Description
The Doors were an American rock band formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, with vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger, and drummer John Densmore. The band got its name, at Morrison's suggestion, from the title of Aldous Huxley's book The Doors of Perception, which itself was derived from a line in William Blake's The Marriage of Heaven and Hell: , If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. They were among the most controversial and influential rock acts of the 1960s, mainly because of Morrison's lyrics and charismatic but unpredictable stage persona. After Morrison's death in 1971, the remaining members continued as a trio, before disbanding in 1973. After signing with Elektra Records in 1966, the Doors released eight albums between 1967 and 1971, all but one hitting the Top 10 on the Billboard 200, before going platinum or better. Their eponymous debut album (1967) was followed by Strange Days (1967), Waiting for the Sun (1968), The Soft Parade (1969), Morrison Hotel (1970), Absolutely Live (1970) and L.A. Woman (1971), receiving 20 Gold, 14 Platinum, 5 Multi-Platinum and 1 Diamond album awards in the United States alone.
