Touch Me by The Doors, is today’s featured song.
On this day in 1971, Jim Morrison, the 27-year-old frontman of The Doors, was found dead in his Paris apartment. The influential singer, songwriter, and poet co-founded the Los Angeles rock band in 1965; rising to fame two years later with the chart-topping hit, “Light My Fire.” Before Morrison’s untimely passing, The Doors would become one of the biggest bands in the world, releasing six albums over five years and placing multiple singles on the Billboard Hot 100. As a frontman, Morrison captivated audiences with his commanding vocals, wild persona, and spoken-word improvisations. His songs, meanwhile, captured the collective feelings of the counterculture generation.
