Product Description
In 1965, University of California student Ray Manzarek invited a fellow student, singer/songwriter Jim Morrison, to join his and his two brothers' R&B band, Rick And The Ravens.

| The Doors Open Few bands begin recording with their sound fully realized, but the Doors did. Supposedly recorded to document their live act trotted around LA, where they were the house band at the Whiskey A Go-Go. Legend has it, the Doors performance of "The End" pushed the Whiskey's management over the top and the Doors out the nightclub door and into the studio.Many became familiar with the end years later when it made such a dramatic splash as a soundtrack in Francis Ford Coppolla's "Appocolapse Now." This cut has not dated or diminished in impact. But, there is much more here. Many consider this the Doors' best. But, this is no place to stop. If you like this, you will want to open more Doors. -Randolph Wish By a reviewer (Denver, Co) |
| Great Doors Hits!!!! Great hits from the Doors. Pick up this CD for your collection. By jejr9 (Irvine) |
| A Classic We already know this album is a classic, and its a must have for anybodys cd collection. All the songs are great on the album, the best in my opinion are "The End" and "Soul Kitchen." I highly recommend this album to anybody that has respect for great music! By Clayton (Bowie, TX, USA) |
| A Simple Stroke of Genius! This alblum really changed the way music was and is a great example of good hippy music. The Doors outdid themselves and the organs were simply awesome. If you dont have any 60s music here is a damn good reason to get this one. By inpectahnet (St. Louis, MO, USA) |
| 'The Doors' was an album that changed the path of mainstream American music I love this album. As stated in the headline of the review, this controversial recording, along with other artists of the time, subtly changed the path of pop culture and broke many traditional barriers. The Beatles made Rock popular, and The Doors along with other greats insured that Rock and Roll would live for ages. LCD driven genius Jim Morrison spoke for the population of youth who wheren't content with the boy-meets-girl boy-gets-girl music of the time. This album is a classic. By kryztlship (Baltimore, MD) |

Jim Nabors Love Me With All Your Heart/By Request CD (2003)
Doors buy CD music Collectables' 2003 Jim Nabors two-fer Love Me With All Your Heart/By Request collects the genial crooner's 1966 album Love Me With All Your Heart and 1967's By Request onto one deluxe CD. Both albums feature Nabors' somewhat histrionic and stiff vocal style as he tackles standards and pop tunes both great and obscure. The nascent dawn of the Age of Aquarius hasn't affected Nabors even a jot at this point, neither sartorially nor in his choice of material or arrangement. There are none of the Rod McKuen songs or fuzztone guitars that swept over the ranks of pop crooners like the flu of 2003. Just Nabors, lots of strings, and some good old-fashioned tunes. If you like him, you will like this. If you are looking for whimsical lounge pop to snigger at or cheesy lounge music to smooth out your jangled nerves, forget it. There is not an ironical bone in Nabors' body. You've got to give him respect for that, at least. ~ Tim Sendra
