Although the majority of people on here may have never heard of him, Ray Manzarek was the keyboard player with the Doors in the '60s. Unfortunately, Jim Morrison, the lead singer, died in about 1971 of the usual (for the time) rock and roll death. Morrison did a great job out front and it was him people really wanted to see at a Doors concert.
But, arguably, it was Ray Manzarek's keyboard playing that really shaped their sound.
Ray Manzarek died today of cancer at the age of 74. His wife of over 45 years survives him. It makes me wonder what they did to make the marriage last that long when most of the other big names of the music industry were lucky to make their marriages last 7 years, let along 7 decades.
There was something about Manzarek's keyboard playing that made the band unique. Can anyone spot what it was from this video?
Thanks for the music Ray, shut the Doors on your way out will you?
