Песента е описана като съвместно дело на цялата група, но истината е по-различна. В началото на 1966 година почти никой не познава „The Doors“ („Дъ Дорс“). Бандата е на няколко месеца и има малко фенове в Лос Анджелис. „Light My Fire“ (в превод „Запали ми огъня“) е песента, дала известност на групата. През тези първи месеци основен автор на песните е вокалистът Jim Morrison (Джим Морисън). Един ден групата открива, че вече няма мелодии и Морисън приканва и останалите да напишат по нещо, за да не свирят кавъри пред публиката. Китаристът Robby Krieger (Роби Крийгър) го пита за какво да пише, а той му отговаря: Пиши за нещо универсално. Нещо, което няма да изчезне след две години. Нещо, което хората могат сами да интерпретират.“ Едва двадесетгодишният тогава Крийгър се прибира в дома на родителите си в Пасифик Палисейдс, Лос Анджелис, и решава да пише за някой от четирите елемента - огън, вода, земя, въздух. Избира огъня, вдъхновен от „Play With Fire“ (Игра с огъня) на „The Rolling Stones“. Огънят стопля, но и изгаря. Това е метафора как градивната любов може да се превърне в унищожителна страст. След куплет в стил фолкрок, песента се развива стихийно. Същата вечер Крийгър е готов с идеята си. За музиката е вдъхновен от хита на Jimi Hendrix (Джими Хендрикс) „Hey Joe“. На следващата им репетиция Крийгър представя новата композиция. Барабанистът John Densmore (Джон Денсмор) предлага куплетите да са с латино ритъм, а Морисън дописва текста, добавяйки и елемент за погребална клада (funeral pyre). Крийгър е против такава препратка към смъртта, но това е любима тема на Морисън и той държи на нея. Така вторият куплет става еталон за поетичния талант на Морисън. Крийгър предлага последната реплика да е „Come on baby light my fire.“ („Хайде, скъпа, запали ми огъня.“). Но Морисън настоява за по-поетичното и провокативно „Try to set the night on fire.“ (Да опитаме да запалим нощта.). По-късно Крийгър открива, че цитатът е от стихотворение на Морисън от тетрадка, писана в ученическите му години. Четвъртият в групата Ray Manzarek (Рей Манзарек), свирещ на клавишни, предлага началото, повлияно от фугите на Йохан Себастиан Бах, което усъвършенства в месеците след това. Органът му „Вокс Континентал“ е същият вид, какъвто ползва Alan Price (Алън Прайс) в „The House Of The Rising Sun“ на „The Animals“, за която вече сме говорили. Продуцентът Paul A. Rothchild (Пол А. Родшийлд) предлага началото да стане и финал. Солото по средата е чиста импровизация, каквито много са обичали да правят, докато свирят в популярния холивудски клуб „Whisky a Go Go“. По-късно Крийгър се дразни от това колко малко се знае, че той е основен автор на песента. Дотогава всяка от песните на групата е била конструирана върху три акорда, а на него му се е искало да направи нещо по-разчупено. През април „The Doors“ вече изпълняват „Light My Fire“ в концерти, разширявайки я постепенно с импровизации. В това им помага и познаването от Крийгър на фламенко стила и лекото му приплъзване по струните на китарата „Gibson SG“. Използват модерната за жанра полиритмия. При нея ударните и солото са в два различни ритъма, застъпващи се на определени интервали. А Манзарек свири в концертите с лява ръка на „Fender Rhodes“, а с дясната солира на органа. При студийната версия продуцентът Пол. А. Родшийлд) привиква басиста Larry Knechtel (Лари Кнехтел) да дублира бас линията върху тази на клавишните. Има предположения, че баскитарата е изсвирена от Carol Kaye (Каръл Кей), основани на нейни думи, но те не са потвърдени. Песента е записана през август 1966 година в „Sunset Sound Studios“ в Холивуд, Лос Анджелис, Калифорния. Тя е над седем минути, а средищната част от над четири минути е от сола на Манзарек - на органа и Крийгър - на китарата. Концертните версии понякога са по 14 минути. Това е смятаната за първа рок песен с инструментална част от електрическа китара и клавишни. Жанрът на „Light My Fire“ е психеделичен рок, но това не изчерпва стила на „The Doors“.

Texas born Janis Joplin died on October 4, 1970, and Pearl was posthumously released in January.  Producer Paul A. Rothchild created a more polished sound on this album than her previous solo work or her work with other bands.  The Full Tilt Boogie Band, Joplin's touring band at the time, also participated in this studio album.  It would be her best selling album, peaking at number 1 on the Billboard 200, and being certified quadruple platinum.After leaving Big Brother and the Holding Company at the end of 1968, Joplin moved away from the psychedelic sound towards a more R&B orientation with the Kozmic Blues Band, her backing band at the time.  Although her first album went gold within two weeks of its release, reviews were mixed as critics had trouble with the new soul and blues orientation.  Pearl would continue the blues trend and would receive much more positive reviews, certainly influenced by its posthumous release.Joplin's struggles with drug abuse were well known, and she died of a heroin overdose towards the end of the recording sessions. Move OverJoplin composed the opening track to the album.  It is her take on how men can end a relationship but refuse to move on, but instead drag the woman around long afterwards.Cry BabyThis is a song written by Bert Berms and Jerry Ragovoy was originally recorded in 1963 by Garnet Mimms and the Enchanters in 1963.  Mimms' rendition went to number 4 on the charts, while Joplin's went to number 42.Me and Bobby McGeeWhen most think of Janis Joplin, they think of this single, her most successful.  Kris Kristofferson and Fred Foster penned the song, and it was originally performed by Roger Miller in 1969.  Miller's version hit number 12 on the country charts, but Joplin's would go to number 1 on the Hot 100.  Mercedes BenzThe second song penned by Joplin, this track was recorded a cappella in one take on October 1, 1970, three days before Joplin's death.  It is a tongue in cheek critique of consumerism. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:I Think I Love You by The Partridge Family"The Partridge Family" began its 5-year run as a sitcom in the fall of 1970, and this song was on the top of the charts in January 1971. STAFF PICKS:Love the One You're With by Stephen StillsIf Rob's staff pick sounds more like Crosby Stills and Nash than a Stills solo effort, that may be because David Crosby and Graham Nash are singing on this track, along with a host of other well known musicians of the time.  Both Eric Clapton and Jimi Hendrix played on the album.Stoney End  by Barbara StreisandBruce risks the ire of the group by making Streisand his staff pick this week.  The title track to Streisand's 12th studio album was the one that found her successfully making the jump from Broadway music to the pop/rock genre.  The song itself is a story of bad choices with a boy leading down a bad road to a stony end.Superstar by Murray Head & ChoirWayne's staff pick is the theme of the musical "Jesus Christ Superstar," and represents a questioning ghost of Judas asking Jesus if he intended for things to happen the way they did.  In addition to the hippie culture of the time, there was also an ascendant Jesus movement happening in culture which this musical successfully tapped.One Man Band by Three Dog NightBrian wraps up the staff picks with a harmonic hit from Three Dog Night's album "Naturally."  The song peaked at number 19 in the U.S.     INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Way Back Home by the Jazz CrusadersThis instrumental was on the charts just before the Jazz Crusaders shortened their name to the Crusaders in 1971.

Smooth Attack - Riders On The Storm DJ Friendly Edit By Petko Turner "Riders on the Storm" is a song by The Doors from their 1971 album, L.A. Woman. According to band member Robby Krieger, it was inspired by the song "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky: A Cowboy Legend". Also, Jim Morrison mentions spree killer Billy Cook, in passing, during at least one interview. Cook killed six people, including a young family, while hitchhiking to California. In all likelihood, the Cook murders were inspiration for the song's lyric, "There's a killer on the road / His brain is squirming like a toad ... if you give this man a ride/sweet family will die ..." "Riders On the Storm" is played in the E Dorian mode, and incorporates recordings of rain and thunder, along with Ray Manzarek's Fender Rhodes electric piano playing, which emulates the sound of rain. The song was recorded at the Doors Workshop in December 1970 with the assistance of Bruce Botnick, their longtime engineer, who was co-producing the recording sessions. Jim Morrison recorded his main vocals and then whispered the lyrics over them to create the echo effect. This was the last song recorded by the members of the Doors, according to Manzarek, as well as Morrison's last recorded song to be released in his lifetime. The single was released in 1971, shortly before Morrison's death, entering the Billboard Hot 100 on July 3, 1971, the day that Morrison died. Many incorrectly believe that this is the song longtime Doors producer Paul A. Rothchild disparaged as "cocktail music", precipitating his departure from the project. Rothchild actually applied this moniker to "Love Her Madly". Engineer Bruce Botnick was selected to produce the album instead. The band's drummer John Densmore wrote a 1990 book called Riders on the Storm, detailing the story of his life and his time with the group. Ray Manzarek and guitarist Roy Rogers covered this song as an instrumental duet on their 2008 album "Ballads Before the Rain". In November 2009, the song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame under the category Rock. The song was among the first songs released for Rock Band 3 as downloadable content. The song, according to an interview with Ray Manzarek, was only performed live twice: on the L.A. Woman tour at the Warehouse in New Orleans, Louisiana, on December 12, 1970, and in Dallas the night before that. Ray said playing those songs was "magic". This was The Doors' last public performance with Jim Morrison. It was only the second date of the tour, but was also the last, as the tour was cancelled after this concert. According to the book FM: The Rise and Fall of Rock Radio by Richard Neer, legendary overnight disc jockey Alison Steele would always play this song on Monday nights if it was raining in the city while she worked at New York City's WNEW-FM through most of the 1970s.
