Ray Manzarek, the keyboardist and founding member of The Doors who had a dramatic impact on rock �n� roll, has died. He was 74.



I always liked his "cool geek" image. And his keyboard stylings were certainly distinctive.

Probably just best to post a sample of his work. People Are Strange is my favorite Doors song, but Light My Fire arguably contains the better testimony to Manzarek's abilities as a keyboardist.

Sad to see him go.

It looks like I'm going to have to play a few Doors tunes now.

He probably died after hearing my lousy cover of "Light My Fire" ...

Here's his current Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Manzarek

Hopefully, his soul will manage to "break on through to the other side"... http://www.singsnap.com/karaoke/r/b9e55401

Hey, at least you put it out there.

A fitting tribute(even though I doubt that was your intent in recording it).

Manzarek was the heart and soul of the Doors, even more than Jim Morrison.
