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" ...

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. |
