Ray Manzarek RIP

A while back there was a thread here entitled "Best Rock Song of All Times, "not the best written or the best musical complexity but the one that [best] represents the rock."

I nominated "Light My Fire" (the full 7 minute version, of course). Ray's keyboard work during the long instrumental segment amazes me.

RIP.

Bummer!
Winter of 67/68 drove from Minnesota to Florida and back. Had ONE 8 track tape, The Doors!

I was lucky enough to see Ray and Robby in Albany a few years ago. It was truly a memorable show. He was such an ambassador for the band. I sat with Morrison Hotel side 1, and moved on to LA Woman last night. Will start late and finish early, I guess. Always found these lines in the movie funny:

Ray: So let's hear what you have?
Jim: Let's swim to the Moon, baby....
Ray: Those are some great f**kin lyrics man!

I was lucky to catch The Doors in concert twice. Great both times. Thanks for the music Ray!

The Doors' music stands the test of time. My grandsons listen to it without prompting from me. Rest in peace.
