The Doors

An American rock group created in 1965 in Los Angeles, which had a strong influence on the culture and art of the 60s. Mysterious, mystical, allegorical lyrics and the vivid image of the band's vocalist, Jim Morrison, made it perhaps the most famous and equally controversial group of its time. After Jim Morrison's death in 1971, the remaining musicians continued to perform and record as a trio, and in 1973 the band ceased to exist. In total, 32,500,500 copies of their albums were sold in the USA. The band sold over 100 million albums worldwide. The Doors became the first American band to have 8 gold albums in a row. In 1993, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
