Happy birthday to Grace Slick, one of the most unmistakable voices of the '60s
The Doors and @JeffersonAirp crossed paths often in the ’60s, sharing stages at venues and festivals as the San Francisco and L.A. scenes collided.
From “Somebody to Love” to “White Rabbit,” @GracieSlick helped define the sound of the era.

A poem turned into one of The Doors’ most unsettling recordings.
“Horse Latitudes,” from 1967’s STRANGE DAYS, features Jim reciting a poem about sailors throwing horses overboard to lighten their ships. The band built an eerie soundscape around his voice, creating a track unlike anything else on the album.

Today, we’re spotlighting Ray Manzarek. 🎹
From the driving organ lines of “Light My Fire” to the Fender Rhodes Piano Bass that filled out the band’s low end, Ray’s playing was at the heart of The Doors’ music.
“I played music practically my entire life. But the first time I ever really played music was with John and Robby and Jim. That's where it happened. It was an epiphany, a moment of profound clarity.” - Ray Manzarek
