The Doors Morrison Hotel on Brown Hoodie

The Doors' music during the 1965-68 era was a fusion of hard rock, blues-rock, and acid rock.

The origins of The Doors lay in a chance meeting between acquaintances and fellow UCLA film school alumni Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek on Venice Beach California in July 1965.

Morrison told Manzarek he had been writing songs and, at Manzarek's encouragement, sang "Moonlight Drive". Impressed by Morrison's lyrics, Manzarek suggested they form a band.

The Doors were unusual among rock groups because they did not use a bass guitar when playing live.

Instead, Manzarek played the bass lines with his left hand on the newly invented Fender Rhodes bass keyboard, an offshoot of the well-known Fender Rhodes electric piano, playing other keyboards with his right hand.
