The story behind "RIDERS ON THE STORM" by The DOORS

RAY MANZAREK-RIDERS ON THE STORM

Matt Dickey:
“The way he goes back and forth between story telling, mapping out the song changes,
and singing is the best one man show I've ever seen.”

This is exactly how millions of the most memorable recordings are put together. When you have four guys the caliber of Manzarek, Krieger, Morrison and Densmore, that's when masterpieces like "Riders" result.

I was just listening to my Doors CD this morning!!!!

I think Manzarek was one of the best keyboard players ever, and his narrative here about that particular song is fantastic.
