Ray Manzarek of The Doors" The Story of "Light My Fire".

[@williamleeming4082]

I grew up listening to the Doors and everything was about Jim...it wasn't till I was much older that I realized the musical talent of Ray Manzarek. Man was a genius. We miss you Ray! Rock on!

[@dizilizid8281]

He is a musical genius man. Wow.

[@jean-marieboucherit4518]

How so?

[@foggianism]

Ray Manzarek is the greatest keyboardist in rock music.

[@craignemecek688]

no contest! Well said

[@melaniejones8013]

Ray’s explanation of the machinations of this song just make me love it more. It’s been my favorite song most of my life. Respect and Rest In Peace Ray. The Doors music lives forever. Light My Fire, #1 in July of 1967…55 years later and remains a classic.

[@cemomaher1650]

Ray legend!!!!!!!

[@misterjameswest]

That's some magic right there!

[@JVL27]

A masterpiece 💯😢👌

[@valerietomsic8454]

TRULY! It S T I L L is for me! I play it on my way to work almost every day! "Introducing the Doors" was my first album and I kill that cd almost every day!

[@lilybond6485]

This has to be one of the most beautiful songs -- if you listen to all of the different singer’s rendition of it - Jose Feliciano, Julie London, Dusty Springfield, on and on and each one makes it sound like the first time you are hearing it.

[@valerietomsic8454]

I was like 10 years old when it this song hit the airwaves....NO LIE....I loved it right then and this was my FIRST rock album ever!

[@lilybond6485]

It’s one of the greatest songs ever.

When l 1st heard Ray's keyboard playing,blew me away none better in rock,RIP Ray

[@freeguy77]

I loved Ray's manic-crazy keyboard playing from the first time I heard LMF in mid-June 1967, on its way to its destiny of #1 (of 3) on the week ending Jul. 29, through Aug. 12, in that last, magnificent Summer! What a sad day it was when I learned he died of cancer, at 74, treated in Germany on May 20, 2013; 10 long years ago. b. Feb. 12, 1939 Chicago, IL - May 20, 2013 Rosenheim, GER). He received a Master of Fine Arts degree in cinematography in 1965 from UCLA. During this period, he met future wife Dorothy Fujikawa and undergraduate film student Jim Morrison. Married her on December 21, 1967, with Morrison and his longtime companion Pamela Courson as witnesses. Manzarek and Fujikawa remained married until his death. In March 2013, Manzarek was diagnosed with a rare cancer called cholangiocarcinoma (bile duct cancer) and traveled to Germany for special treatment. R.I.P., Ray Manzarek, forever with Jim and raising R&R and hell in Heaven!

Ray was a fn awesome human in every way!!!

[@rayb3000]

Awesome Ray!

[@rockromance1]

Ray is one of the real gentlemen of rock music, a kind human being, a genius pianist. What always struck me as wonderful was the love between them, if you listen to them talking about Morrison it's only love. Until we meet again Ray ❤

[@pascallamov1547]

merci Ray pour ces moments de Kiff en écoutant les Doors ' en Live )

[@SK-qc6fb]

A Genuis!

[@foggianism]

I return to this video every now and then to be mesmerized by this mans skill on the keyboard. Especially the Coltrane part that he demonstrates and his improv on top of the bass line at 1:37. The fact that he just casually talks through this whole thing while playing... what a musician! Amazing!

[@darylclark2155]

Awesome....

[@johnsturdivant1924]

The solo played to the am to f sharp minor sounded cool too.
