Ray Manzarek, keyboardist for The Doors, has died. Who among us cannot instantly recall the melody of “Light My Fire”? From an obituary:
He took classical piano lessons as a child which later contributed to the fusion style of The Doors’ music.
“The introduction to Light My Fire was my little Bach study. I had a good time with that,” he said.
“The whole point of The Doors was a fusion of rock and roll but with some jazz, a little bit of classical, Robbie Krieger’s flamenco guitar, and my classical background.”
