Ray Manzarek RIP

Saddened to hear of the death yesterday of 74 year old Ray Manzarek, keyboard player and founding member of The Doors.

The unique sound of The Doors came partly from the voice and lyrics of Jim Morrison, partly from the guitar playing of Robby Krieger, but if I'm honest, came mainly from the immediately identifiable keyboard playing of Manzarek. Listen to the opening of 'Light My Fire' which was created by Manzarek and you will know what I mean.
