Between 1967 and 1971 The Doors polarized world attention on their music and their enormous sound and the great vitality of the group.
In all this, his charismatic singer Jim Morrison shone above all, a youthful symbol whose lyrical, emotional capacity and his attractive physique made him the frontman and sex symbol par excellence in a time when Elvis Presley had lost that condition due to his excesses.
Jim Morrison gave absolutely everything on stage, pouring himself into every song, reaching the top of every note but he also went out of line on many occasions.
The consequences of his constant ravings were his arrests for impropriety in the scene, however the real reason for his "not very decorous" performances was the enormous trance that the music awoke on stage.
Musically the influence of the first album entitled "The Doors" was based on R&B, jazz and rock with psychedelic touches, "Break On Through" is a clear example of the mixture of revolutionary poems and psychedelia, while the hypnotic "Soul Kitchen "demonstrates the subtle changes in the group's musical dynamics.
But it is the extensive "Light My Fire", a hymn to sexuality in a jazz key and in "The End" an apocalyptic and epic theme that elevate The Doors and elevate them to the podium of the great groups of the 60s, thus beginning to theatricality in rock.
