Jim Morrison was born on December 8, 1943one of the most important musicians of his time, who lived an intense but short life. The unconventional singer of ‘The Doors’is to this day the figure that defined an important part of the rock music scene.

As the son of a military man, he had to change school and social life several times. But Los Angeles won him over and he finished his studies there. In particular, he graduated from the School of Fine Arts and while studying, he managed to create two of his own films and meet many writers and people in the arts.

With poetry he always had good relations, but his association with people who loved it equally and their discussions about it, pushed him to deal more seriously with this field.

The Doors chapter

When in 1965 the history of the well-known rock group “The Doors”, which he founded with his fellow student Ray Manzarek, began to be written, the talented musician had two important roles. He gave his distinctive voice, but also his talent for poetry, as Jim Morrison was also the lyricist of the band’s greatest hits.

In 1967, the Doors had a hit with the song ‘Light My Fire’, which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100. From that day on, the rock band’s career only went up until 1971, when they were forced to break up abruptly. .

On July 3, 1971, and while he was only 27 years old, Jim Morrison’s star faded in Paris. His death will forever remain a mystery, both due to the lack of an autopsy and the strange behavior of his partner, Pamela Courson, after his death.

But there is no lack of conspiracy theories surrounding him, which include his murder but also the staging of his death, so that he can finally live the life he wanted, away from the public eye.
