"Doors" были основаны в Лос-Анджелесе в 1965 году студентами Джимом Моррисоном и Рэем Манзареком. Манзарек к тому времени со своими двумя братьями уже сколотил ритм-энд-блюзовую группу "Rick And The Ravensask" и искал вокалиста и барабанщика. Он как-то услышал, как Моррисон исполнял свою песню "Moonlight Drive". Песня Рэю очень понравилась, и он уговорил Джима присоединиться к нему. Завербовав еще к себе ударника Джона Денсмора, они вскоре сделали запись шести песен Моррисона. Но эта работа не впечатлила братьев Рэя, и они оставили группу. Их обоих заменил друг Денсмора гитарист Робби Кригер. Новый басист так и не нашелся, и эти обязанности поочередно выполняли Кригер и Манзарек. Также к тому времени группа была переименована Моррисоном в "Doors".
Первой резиденцией группы стал клуб "London Fog", а чуть позже парни перебрались в "Whisky-A-Go-Go". Однако "Doors" в 1966-м были изгнаны оттуда, после того как исполнили там свою знаменитую композицию "The end", не понравившуюся владельцам клуба. Тем не менее, это событие привлекло к ним внимание, и группа подписала контракт с "Elektra Records". В 1967 были выпущены два первых диска.
Грандиозный дебютный альбом представлял собой высококачественный сплав рока, блюза, классики, джаза и поэзии. Композиция "Light my fire" с него стала визитной карточкой группы. Сингл с этой песней тотчас взлетел на вершину хит-парадов. Последующие немногие альбомы "Doors", кажется, немного не дотягивали до уровня дебютного, хотя каждый из них содержал прекраснейшие вещи, например такие как "Hello I Love You". За короткое время "Doors" стали культовой группой для многих миллионов людей. Однако в жизни все выглядело иначе. Моррисон серьезно увлекся алкоголем и наркотиками. Часто он "улетал" прямо на сцене. В 1969 году он арестовывался за нападение на полицейского, а также много раз обвинялся в непристойном поведении в общественных местах.
В 1970-м группа выпустила "Morrison Hotel", альбом по силе равный их первому релизу. В апреле 1971-го последовал еще один мощный альбом "L.A. Woman", имевший более блюзовый саунд. Учитывая то, отношения между Моррисоном и другими членами группы ухудшились (из-за все возрастающего пристрастия Джима к алкоголю и наркоте), этот диск можно назвать одним из лучших. Самые классные треки на альбоме – это заглавная песня и бесподобнейшая композиция "Riders On The Storm".
После сессий для "L.A. Woman" Моррисон перебрался жить в Париж. Хотя он продолжал оставаться в центре внимания, он также ненавидел свою популярность. Джим хотел получить признание как поэт и надеялся во Франции начать свою литературную карьеру. Но этому не суждено было сбыться. 3 июля 1971 года он был найден мертвым в своей ванной. По официальной версии Моррисон умер от сердечного приступа, хотя было очевидно, что это произошло из-за передозировки наркотика. Оставшиеся члены "Doors" продолжили свою музыкальную деятельность в составе трио (вокалистом был Манзарек). Они выпускали еще два неплохих альбома, но без Моррисона это были уже не те "Doors". В 1973 году команда была расформирована. Спустя 5 лет, в 1978-м Манзарек, Кригер и Денсмор воссоединились и записали музыку к стихам которые надекламировал Моррисон на пленку в течение сессий "L.A. Woman".
Альбом, названный "An American Prayer", имел шумный успех. Это привело к выпуску концертника "Alive She Cried", сделанного из архивного материала и вышедшего в 1983 году. В 1985-м фотография Моррисона появилась на обложке журнала "Rolling stone". Подписькнейгласила: "He's Young, He's Hot, He's Sexy and He's Dead".
