May 20, 201313 yr Ray Manzarek, keyboard player of the Doors died today in Germany. Very sad news. Rest in peace.
May 20, 201313 yr Even more significant than that hippy band he was part of, he was the producer of a few of X's best albums. Ray, make punk rock in heaven!
May 20, 201313 yr Wow. I was just looking up the Doors on wackypedia last night and thinking "Damn, the surviving members are getting up there."EDIT: Grawk is right, check out all the producer credits. Edited May 20, 201313 yr by Knuckledragger
May 20, 201313 yr Sad news, indeed. Ray was the main reason The Doors stayed together for as long as they did. He seemed to be the only one to have patience enough to deal with Jim during his downward spiral. LA Woman probably would have never happened were it not to Ray's leadership and persistence. Then again, Ray was the rock from the beginning and put the group together from day one. RIP, good man.
May 20, 201313 yr RIP, Ray. Definitely the glue holding thr Doors together, and kept relevant as time went by. There's organ playing in heaven tonight.
May 21, 201313 yr Bummer! the Doors were one of the bands I really thought a lot of when I was in high school. Somewhere in Georgia is (or might still be) a desk with the lyrics to "The End" scratched into it's top. RIP Ray!

May 21, 201313 yr Also a big Doors fan. They helped shape my psyche in my formative days. Morrison was always an idol, though the flaws are easily seen these days. But if the band had not had those haunting keyboards courtesy of Manzarek, they never would have achieved legend status. RIP Ray. When the music's over, turn out the light.
