Ray Manzarek Rip


Recommended Posts

When the Doors toured Europe in 1968 with Jefferson Airplane, and Jim Morrison by show time was out of commission due to drink and drugs, it was Ray Manzarek who saved their set by doing Jim's part and his own as well. He was hunched over the keyboards, and singing "come on baby light my fire" sounding very much like Jim himself. No problem from the audience.

After Jim's death on July 3, 1971 and given a few years in between, Ray, Robbie and John worked on what was to become, "An American Prayer" released in 1978. Much of the material was recorded on Jim's birthday, he was given studio time as a present. An album made for Jim the poet.

Rock In Peace Ray and thank you for all the great music over the years!
