July 3, 1971: Jim Morrison died

Jim Morrison died on this day in 1971.    It happened months after Jimi Hendrix and Janis Japlin also died.   And on the second anniversary of Brian Jones' death.    It was a sad two year period for rock.

According to news reports, he was found dead in the bathtub of his Paris apartment.    He was 27.    

As I recall. "Riders on the storm" was on the radio at that time.
