Ray Manzerek was the sound of the Doors.
He will be missed.

Wow I'm shocked we was still so young. He was part of what made one of the most unique sounding bands rocknroll has ever seen/heard. RIP

I grew up on the sounds of the 60-70s since both my parents are baby boomers and I can't imagine my music tastes without the incredible sound of The Doors. Every member of that band brought something to the table to give them the amazing style they had.


I've got a bad feeling about this.....

One of Weird Al's greatest songs mimicking the musical style of a rock band.

Not a parody, unless you can name the song he's parodying?

Never a big Doors fan but back in the late 60s every high school band had to do a couple of their tunes. We had no keyboard so we did Roadhouse Blues smile

Ray was a keyboard master though ..RIP
