Who is Jim Morrison?

Jim Morrison was born on December 8, 1943, in Melbourne, Brevard County, Florida, United States. After graduating from UCLA in 1965, Morrison started leading an unconventional life at Venice Beach. Jim and his fellow UCLA mate student Ray Manzarek initially formed the band The Doors which was soon joined by drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger. The band got their name from the title of Aldous Huxley’s book, ‘The Doors of Perception’. The Doors was formally formed as a Rock Band in 1965. With time The Doors became a hugely popular rock band in the United States. After releasing their second album, ‘Strange Days’ Morrison and his band were recognized as a band which belted a fine mix of blues, rock tinged with psychedelia. Morrison introduced his band’s psychedelic form of music through their version of “Alabama Song”, from Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill’s operetta, ‘Rise and Fall of the City of Mahagonny’.  Jim died on 3 July 1971. According to an official record, Jim was found in a Paris apartment bathtub.
