O The Doors foi formado em1965, em Los Angeles pelos colegas de escola Jim Morrison e Ray Manzarek. No início da carreira, durante seus shows, Jim Morrison cantava de costas para a platéia, mas sua timidez foi superada com a ajuda de drogas como LSD, que o deixavam mais "a vontade" em cima do palco. Em 1967 com a entrada de Doug Labahn no baixo, gravaram o primeiro LP "The Doors". Em seguida vieram outras obras primas: Strange Days, também de 1967 eWaiting For The Sun de 1968. Em 1969 gravaram The Soft Parade, que é o LP mais fraco da banda, e não agradou aos fãs e viu seu público diminuir significadamente durante os shows. Essa fase foi com certeza o início do fim de Jim Morrison. Para compensar, no ano seguinte lançam Morrison Hotel, quinto LP que fez a banda renascer das cinzas. Em março de 1971, Jim e sua namorada, Pamela, se mudaram para Paris, a fim de começar uma nova vida. Ambos tinham problemas com o excesso de álcool e drogas. No dia 3 de julho deste ano, esses problemas culminaram com a morte de Morrison. Pamela encontrou-o morto na banheira. Não foi feita nenhuma autópsia, pois a causa da morte era aparentemente óbvia, decorrente de todo seu comportamento abusivo ao longo dos anos. Apesar disso, a morte de Morrison ainda é um grande mistério. Após sua morte, os outros integrantes do grupo, ainda lançaram outros trabalhos, como o excelente "An American Prayer" em 1978, que continha composições criadas por Morrison no ano de sua morte. Até hoje, a banda vem tentando voltar a ativa, e chegou a sair com uma turnê em 2003 com Ray Manzarek nos teclados e Robby Krieger na guitarra, além de Ian Astbury (The Cult), no vocal, Angelo Barbera, no baixo e Stewart Copland (The Police), na bateria. Quem não gostou desta história foi o baterista original do grupo, John Densdemore, que entrou com um processo contra seus ex-companheiros por uso indevido do nome da banda. Resta saber se esse novo The Doors, assim como o do passado, também abrirá algumas portas no Rock. Estamos torcendo!
