About
There have been plenty of classic debut album. But few first-attempt records have defined an era while simultaneously birthing an idol, as <i>The Doors</i> did upon its release in January 1967. The impact wasn’t immediate: The album’s first single, “Break On Through (To the Other Side),” failed to break into the Hot 100—meaning that, for a while, the most visible marker of The Doors’ success was limited to billboards on the Sunset Strip, which featured Morrison and his bandmate. The equal billing was appropriate, as <i>The Doors</i> was undoubtedly a group effort: The seeds of many of these 11 tracks had mostly been planted by Morrison, but the group’s eventual smash single, “Light My Fire,” had been originally composed by guitarist Robby Kreiger, with the song's iconic organ intro and the groovy bossa-nova-inspired rim clicks created by keyboardist Ray Manzerek and drummer John Densmore, respectively. .
