The Doors were a blues band as much as an avant-garde rock band which was why they still sound great.

@kelvinkloud 7 ай бұрын

good point. overlooked too.... very few bands could carry both plates... be on the cutting edge of artistic songs, yet also carry over quality rock popular hits, even pop songs of quality (touch me). & this song meets it in the middle. too gritty to be top 10, but certainly made for radio play & shows off the power of the band as a driving rock force.... guns and roses tried to be the doors. & they at their best were close w/ their rock standards wh/ could rival something like this. yet, they couldnt dwelve into the artistic cutting edge material like the doors. again, think about it, what other bands could hold all 3 plates? its a very select few. dylan , hendrix & the beatles in their era. maybe the stones also. but thats about it. & one could argue, other then dylan, none were as artistically influenctial w/ cutting edge material then the doors.

@@billwilson2025 .... true & it helped them... their long songs have a definitive film score feel to them. very atmospheric. its why the end was perfect for apolopyse now. no doubt their film backgrounds influence the way they arranged. they and floyd were the first bands to create that large scape atmosphere sound & feel & also create a sense of danger w/ it. jim also had a very strong literature and theater background wh/ he incorporate cutting edge wise. they dont get enough credit for how impactful they were. its also b/c he was hyped up as a doomed good looking crazy lifestyle rock star. that element obscures to a degree their real musical talents.

I have read Alice Cooper say that he was at one of the recording sessions for this song. He says that he was hanging out with the other Doors who were waiting (as usual) for Jim to arrive. When Jim got there, he asked Alice something like how his day was going. And Alice said: "Well, I woke up this morning, and I got myself a beer", then elaborated on what he did afterwards. Some minutes later, they go in the studio and start working on this song. The first time Alice hears Jim come in on vocals, that's the line he sings, heh...

Ella was known for her scatting, I think she learned from Louie Armstrong (he said everyone develops their own style). A goofy, great scat song is “I Feel Like Singing” by Dan Hicks & His Hot Licks. It’s live! Also live and simply amazing harmonica is “Train Time” by Cream on the Wheels of Fire album, with bassist Jack Bruce singing and playing harmonica while accompanied by Ginger Baker on drums. You won’t regret checking it out.

Drummer John Densmore described the Doors writing songs like this . Jim Morrison , who had no musical training would write down lyrics of songs with an idea for the music , the band would listen to Jim hum & sing bits of his lyrics and would piece together the music itself by listening . "Ok , That's an A & then that's an F minor ..." etc. and put the whole piece together like that . I saw this on one of Dan Rather's "BIG INTERVIEW" series where he sat down with Drummer John Densmore & guitarist Robbie Kreiger . It would give you a good insight into the band . I Highly recomend checking it out .

Yo Mug! If youre feeling some Doors, theres a great live concert movie The Doors at the Hollywood Bowl from 68! Thats a band that was at its peak live, you gotta see it! Also, the legend is that Louis Armstrong invented scatting by accident when he was singing in the studio and the lyrics fell of the music stand so he just started scatting the melody!😂

@ronstewart6362 7 ай бұрын

Bro I'm 51 and did hear this as a kid. But it was 10 years after they were already gone😂. This was a game changer for me. I'm Not the biggest doors fan but I definitely respect what they did and how Jim especially influenced a generation.

Oh man I love it when younger people discovere the music of my youth. I was a teenager when Jim Morrison died and I was crazy over The Doors as well as Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, all who died within about a year of each other. Tragic, but what a legacy and musical library they all left. I have never stopped listening to The Doors through all these years. So glad you discovered this great music. I have a suggestion, probably don't need any more LOL but here it is and I imagine you have gotten it in the past. If you've never heard Beth Hart, you must! I would highly recommend the following two videos. You have to make sure they are these EXACT versions, which are both live. The first is "Beth Hart -Am I The One - Live at Paradiso. " And the second one is "Beth Hart - Caught Out In The Rain - Live at Albert Hall." I guarantee she will blow you away. Perhaps you've done one or both of them already, I will try to look. But if you haven't, do yourself a favor and check those out. Really like your reactions. 👍

@mikefetterman6782 7 ай бұрын

Some of their songs are taken from Jim's poetry. Others are written by the group simultaneously, and others were written by Robby Krieger (Light my Fire, Touch Me, ect.) Toward the last record or two they were getting into simple blues songs. Lots of blues. Skatting started way back in the 1920s at least. There would not be a recording artist with a record of who started it. Most of the songs back then were called FOLK STANDARDS because they just been around a long time and nobody knew who came up with them.

@karenmikalofsky5287 7 ай бұрын

@SaltyPirate71 7 ай бұрын

The Doors' writing process was always lyrics first. The songs were written by Jim Morrison, who was not a musician but was a poet, and Robby Krieger, the guitarist. Krieger, Manzerek and Densmore were all jazz musicians, which explains why there were so many instrumental riffs in their songs. Because of Morrison's penchant for going off in unexpected tangents during performances and even recording, having an accomplished jazz trio who were comfortable with just rolling with the flow and improvising while not ever getting lost was the only way the band survived.

It’s a straight up I, IV, V blues progression, but performed in a contrapuntal way that was common with bepop jazz. The doors were simply brilliant the way they did this. It just seeps in and takes over your mind. Hence your reaction comment, “there is so much going on here.” You keyed right in on it.

If you want to hear the Doors in FULL FLOWER ............Texas Radio and the Big Beat..........they flow smoother than silk. Listen to it. Another great one is L.A. Woman. In fact if you play every tune on that album you probably can't find a bad one. They say it's one of the best and most complete albums in the history of Rock/Blues/Jazz.

"LA Woman,' is probably the best Doors album because it has such a variety of songs delivered at different pacing. When you listen to the album from start to finish you can hear Morrison's depression and disillusionment.

agree w/ your assessment... morrison shines here. carries this song & shows off all his unique power and charisma.... dont believe that, listen to others who try to do this song, they just cant grip this song by the horns like morrison does....no doubt the band rolls well here, like an old muscle car down a curvy road. but again, its jim whos driving it. he was an inconsistent artist, but when on his A game, he was a juggernaut tour de force.
