The Doors were one of the hottest, and at times, most controversial rock groups of the late '60s and early '70s. Jim Morrison (vocals), Ray Manzarek (keyboards), Robby Kreiger (guitar) and John Densmore (drums) were from Los Angeles, California. They were considered controversial due to the onstage performances by Jim Morrison, which caused several arrests and cancellations of shows. Sadly, and with continuing controversy, Jim Morrison died of heart failure in Paris on July 3, 1972. The group disbanded two years later. They appeared 16 times on the Billboard chart, debuting with Light My Fire in 1967, which stayed at Number One for three weeks and was a Gold Record as well. Some may have thought they could never match that level of success again, but were proven wrong when they scored two more Top Ten hits and two additional Gold Records with Hello, I Love You and Touch Me.
