ZenBeatnik:

'''James Douglas Morrison''' (December 8, 1943 – July 3, 1971) was the lead singer in the iconic 60's rock band '''[[The Doors]]'''. Propelled to stardom at an early age and possessing a strong charisma and sex appeal, Morrison was an anguished performer wanting to write albums with deep profound meaning, but falling short of the expectations he set for himself. He Greatly Influenced such artistists as, [[Iggy Pop]], [[The Cult]], and [[Tobey Black]]

Morrison was the subject of a bestselling autobiography "No One Here Gets Out Alive" which documented his heavy substance abuse which ultimently lead to his early death at the age of twenty-seven. Morrisons' girlfriend, who was also caught up in the cycle of abuse, was murdered after Jim's death by another boyfriend.

'''The Doors''' were a [[California]] based psychedelic [[rock music]] group active during the late 1960's and early 70's. The lineup was Jim Morrison on vocals, Ray Manzarek on organ, John Densmore on drums and Robbie Krieger on guitar. The Doors were famous for their liberal politics on war, drugs and sex. Their self titled debut album "The Doors" was released in 1967 and became a success thanks largely due to their number 1 single "Light My Fire". From there the Doors continued to release popular music often with a dark undertone. The original lineup recorded 6 studio albums between 1966 and 1971: ''The Doors'', ''Strange Days'', ''Waiting for the Sun'', ''The Soft Parade'', ''Morrison Hotel'', and ''L.A. Woman''. The group lost their singer Morrison when he died in 1971 but would release three studio albums afterward, two of them in 1971-72 without Morrison: ''Other Voices'' and ''Full Circle''; and the third, ''American Prayer'' in 1978, recorded around old recordings of Morrison reading poetry. Today the Doors reformed as Riders On the Storm and continue to tour with only two original members (Manzerek and Krieger).
