Remembering Ray Manzarek (1939-2013)


Critics' Choice - A CELEBRATION FOR RAY MANZAREK
We remember Ray Manzarek who was born on this day in 1939 and died in 2013.

The Doors were so closely identified with Jim Morrison that it was tough to continue playing after his death in 1971.   Nevertheless, The Doors were very talented specially keyboards player Ray Manzarek.


They recorded their first LP  “The Doors” in one  week.   “Light My Fire", one of the tracks, hit # 1 that summer.   They followed that LP with several more best sellers.

From 1967 to 1971, the Doors had a prolific and stormy career. 


He was good, very good.  He was the man who "opened The Doors."
