The Doors were an iconic American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1965, known for their dark, poetic lyrics, psychedelic sound, and the charismatic, unpredictable presence of frontman Jim Morrison. They were one of the most influential and controversial bands of the 1960s counterculture movement, blending rock, blues, jazz, and psychedelia into something completely unique.

🎤 Band Members:

• Jim Morrison – vocals, lyrics

• Ray Manzarek – keyboards, organ, backing vocals
