For Ray (Manzarek) - on What Would Have Been His (83rd) Birthday:: Frequently my Top Track of ALL TIME - RIDERS ON THE STORM - THE DOORS

 


Ray Manzarek was born in Chicago, Illinois on this day in 1939.
Into this world we're thrown, like a dog without a bone, an actor out on loan. Riders on the storm. Perhaps my favourite song of all time

Deep Purple's Child in Time,
Cockney Rebel's Sebastian,
Sweet's Love is like Oxygen (LP version),
Yes's Close to the Edge,
Supertramp's Fool's Overture,
AcDc's Let there Be Rock,
Golden Earring's Radar Love,
Lynyrd Skynyrd's Free Bird,
Etc.
You name it :)
