"Morrison’s poetic imagery holds up behind Ray Manzarek’s well placed tack piano and electric organ licks. The cut opens with one of Robby Krieger’s most immediately recognizable riffs, which reappears throughout the song.” -ALLMUSIC

Stay in touch with The Doors…

*******************

The Doors channel is the official YouTube home of classic Doors live performances, The Doors albums, and contemporary performances and content honoring The Doors featuring John Densmore and Robby Krieger.

With an intoxicating, genre-blending sound, provocative and uncompromising songs, and the mesmerizing power of singer Jim Morrison’s poetry and presence, The Doors had a transformative impact not only on popular music but on popular culture.

The Doors’ arrival on the rock scene in 1967 marked not only the start of a string of hit singles and albums that would become classics, but also of something much bigger – a new and deeper relationship between creators and audience. Refusing to be mere entertainers, the Los Angeles quartet relentlessly challenged, confronted and inspired their fans, leaping headfirst into the heart of darkness while other bands warbled about peace and love. Though they’ve had scores of imitators, there’s never been another band quite like them.

Robbie is one hell of a musician. He wrote the songs that stood the test of time.
Robbie must be a genius, has to be.
I’m still singing his songs.
Thank you Mr. Robbie

"In July 1967, the first song Robbie Krieger ever wrote, climbs to No. 1 in the country."

Every time I listen to a Doors vinyl, I learn something, even if it is a new detail, a simple detail, there is something about that music.

Love how the others, especially Krieger, also wrote songs

Robby Krieger es uno de los guitarristas más infravalorados de la historia del Rock, siempre a la sombra de JM. Gracias por existir, Robby, y por tus mágicas composiciones 🎸🙏🏻🚪👐🏻
