Nobody knew in 1967 that this was some of the best popular music that would ever be made. We're still listening to "Light My Fire" and the other Doors' songs more than 50 years later.
@@nuvigroovi …I love music. Just like most. And today if you look, music is just as good or better. Amazing musicians are everywhere because of technology. I’m sad when I see people stuck in the past when it comes to music
I agree that's what Unipe to other 60's band. I like what he said to Ed Sullivan, when Ed Sullivan said the Doors never will appear on this show and Jim Morrision turned around and said we Just did. Some people may thought he was smart, but he wasn't. Like Frank Zappa it's young Conservative people in music business that ruining music Industry, not the guys with the cigars.
She has her brothers eyes . I don’t know who’s older ….. I think Jim was ?? Gone too soon !!! I can’t believe I’m 27 years older than Jim now …. And I was only 5 when he died . Jim was born to be a Rock Star .
everything fell into place for this band to have a guy who looked like that and wrote and sang like that with a keyboardist with that much talent which imo doesn't get enough credit is truly amazing.
@@Dirtbag_Deluxe Ray played the bass on keyboards with his left hand while tearing it up with song with right hand. He also sang when Jim missed a show
Exactly. The perfect mix of brilliant musicians and Jim and Robbies writing (Mostly Jim for the less commercial and more out there make-you-think lyrics). But most of all the mystical persona of Jim. As great as the music is, my fav band of all time by far, the real draw to fans then and now is Jim. Something about the man just is mesmerizing. And it couldn't have happened in any other era the way it did. It was a Taylor made situation for Jim in the 60's. I mean as intelligent as he was, can you picture Jim Morrison the dentist or real estate agent, etc.? Lol. Was meant to be exactly as it happened as if it was predetermined. Which is y I love the story behind the band and obviously the story of the band during their heyday.
His mother and father didn’t get him but his sister preserved his legacy. She is so smart and cute. She obviously cared about her brother and his work by preserving everything in a vault. Very wise. All his notebooks and handwritten lyrics. She made a great book with all his collected works! I’m so pleased to see Riders on the Storm written out in Jim’s handwriting on one sheet. That is so amazing to see! Thanks to his sister Anne. I am grateful as a lifelong Doors fan to finally see all the material. 👏🏻
Someone else preserved this material. His sister is just showing us the work others have done. You can tell by her interview that she doesnt read poetry or understand her brother's talent totally.
@@Funz2022 She shows the work Jim did, there is no "others" who did work... The Coursons kept all this, as they were the legal owners after Pam died.. I believe things like the naval sword which Jim got from his dad went back to the Morrison family.. Jim took this sword everywhere he went, even to Paris, because he respected his dad and family.. In 1969 Jim's dad even considered to quit his job in the army because of his son.. So maybe they don't understand all of his poems, but they surely understood each other as family, which is most important when your a family...
Anne comes off quite well here, I think. She's just trying to keep her brother's literary origins intact. Jim appreciated the poetical as well as the celebrity of rock n roll. Like Anne said, "He was of two minds". Very cool.
Thank God Jim Morrison is finally getting the recognition and respect he so duly deserves. The Doors have always had a cult following that continues to grow, but a fairly recent ‘psychoanalysis of him by some UA-cam psychologist was offhandedly dismissive with no insight into the soul of this great poet. As a fifteen year old in 1968 hearing the Doors for the first time was truly life altering, it has the same effect today. Jim Morrison and the the Doors will continue to perplex and mesmerize long after that internet ‘psychoanalyst’ is long forgotten
I couldn’t have put it better. Even Ray seemed to have to constantly defend Jim as being nothing like so many have portrayed him as being. While I was born in 66 I grew up a huge Doors fan. My pops was a DJ who brought home their first album when I was really little. I played that album every day. I got to a point when I sang I tried to tune my voice to sound like Jim. He really does have a very unique voice.
Yeah I think Morrison was often misunderstood, he had his faults but he was actually a good man who cared about people under all that. The movie certainly didn’t help with people’s perception of him.
Jim's roots are also German, Jim and I have the same six time great grandfather Conrad Emery (Konrad Hummerich) who immigrated to the US in the 1720's.
@@Alexs.2599 Yeah, I always thought he prob had some Scottish in him, but what is the source of info, that you found w/ his Scottish roots? Just curious, really....
@@bruceaskew4742 Celtic Family Magazine ran a feature on his heritage and found that Jim's branch of Clan Morrison was originally from the Isle of Lewis, Scotland, while his Irish side, the Clelland clan who married into the Morrison line, were from County Down, Northern Ireland
Yes well "the poet" is like a mystic wordsmith he was into Indigenous Shaman culture too. He was a writer and philosopher but it's obvious that accident he witnessed as a child had some profound spiritual influence on him. "Indians scattered on dawns highway bleeding ghosts crowd the young childs fragile eggshell mind" for example.
I'm pretty sure it was just one long acid trip otherwise major high on something else and their life was a blur I speak on experience from decades ago barely remember anything
Even among fans, like myself, I think what really gets overlooked is how much great music they put out in such a short time. From the release of their debut album to the release of their last album is 4 years. That's an incredible output of great songs for a 4 year period
I'm so looking forward to getting this book. Have always loved Jim M and the doors. Met him once when he and the doors played at my High School. Right before he became famous! Jim was rolling around on the floor (in our gym) during the concert and I guess the principal didn't like that, so he called the police and as Jim laid there completely passive, they literally "dragged" him away.
That's incredible and you're so fortunate to have seen him live in person. I would have done anything to grow up in that time for I definitely grew up in the wrong one.
I can’t believe I’m 27 years older than Jim at the time he died . But I was only 5 when he passed . 50 years gone and never forgotten . Jim was like born to be a Rock Star ⭐️ ( His sister has the same eyes as her brother ).
The Doors music came out when I was a teenager. There is something magical about them. It was a time of hope for peace and love. We were young and beautiful and thought we could do anything. They have touched me in a personal way like no other group did. I am richer for their music.
Visited myself with a colleague over twenty years ago. Pere Lachaise is an amazing community and well worth the visit. Across the street from the cemetery is a very nice restaurant. With literally thousands of famous people buried across the avenue, who do you think the restaurant has a picture of displayed humbly on its wall? You guessed it.
The chemistry between those 4 guys..CHANGE THE LIFE OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD..,FOR ALL HISTORY PAST,PRESENT AND FUTURE..What they bring to MUSIC and (ALL THAT'S LINKED)..is UNIQUE!!!.THANK'S GUYS!!.ANNE MORRISON is still a beam of sunlight today...
I was only 12 when Jim Morrison passed away and "RIDERS ON THE STORM"was my favorite Doors hit song...So beautiful yet so haunting at the same time...R.I.P. JIM...🎤🎤🥁🎹
Jim was gifted, smart, his intelligence passed onto in his music during a pretty wild time in history. The whole band just synthesized really well musically lots of talent there too. The proof is, they are still popular today.
I’ve made that trip to Jim’s grave in Paris……and saw Robby Krieger in concert at the Whiskey on July 4th. Such a surreal experience. I’m blessed, The Doors are like that. They are worth every second…..
When my daughter was only eight years old, she was playing and singing The Crystal Ship at the local restaurant, thanks to her piano teacher, Mike Evans Piano, who happens to have a channel here on YT. What a timeless song and band! Thanks!
Anne is great and with Robby and John keeping the Doors legacy going. It still amazes me that Jim’s Dad the Admiral never listened to any of the songs.
Great job little sister for for ever taking care of Jim's private belongs. He passed away 5 years before I was born. I listen to Jim and The Doors at least once a week. The icon's forever!
@@ruth1035 Yes, Courson’s family where left as heirs because Pamela was the heir after Jim died. She then died 2 yrs later and that’s how her family had control of Jim Morrison’s estate and licensing etc. Morrison’s family then took them to court and they settled on a percentage.
The Doors will always be synonym for Jim but in he struck the purest gold by meeting the other band members. John and Robbie are and Ray was so extremely talented. They made Jim's voice and poetry come to life...
Even when all of us who remember the Doors when they first hit the scene, we Baby Boomers, fans, surviving band members, have all passed away. People of future generations will be still playing The Doors.. They were just that important and vital to music..
Great segment! What she did was absolutely great. Preserving Jim’s writings this way was a great accomplishment. Jim would be proud. I wish though John would get past the negativity towards Jim. It’s in the past. Easier to make peace than hold a grudge.
One of the greatest ever. In a class all by themselves I’ve loved the doors my entire life and by the time I really got into them Jim Morrison had already been gone for over 10 years to me it’s no surprise that people today still listen to the doors . Excellence unique excellence one of a kind great music will never die when your heart and soul is in it people will recognize that 100 years from now Jim was a shaman of greatness
Anne, thank you so much for allowing to be interviewed and sharing this story. I am so excited about the book. I purchased a copy on 02/01/2023. I have been a fan of Jim's words and the band's music when I discovered them, while in college (1995). I hope you are doing well.
For me is Jim Morrison the best Singer of the World - he is amazing not only his life but he writes with Soul, Emotions. He was a Genius far beyond this World ❤ And he was a Beautiful Man - timeless ❤️
I love "the doors" music and I love James Douglas Morrison's poetry!! Thanks to his sweet sister for putting some of his work out in a book to share with the rest of the world to see👍🏼
This is extraordinary. In my youth, I had assumed all these rock “stars” were drugged-out, alcoholics with nothing to say. In my old age (and theirs) nearly all these guys display a wisdom I never thought possible. I look at my poor parents who never travelled, never read poetry never protested anything…did not grow spiritually, intellectually or socially. These guys, with little exception…lived the equivalent of 3 lives. I loved listening to Krieger and Densmore. They had a LOT to say!
Thanks for the upload. Nice to see Jim's archive through his sister's eyes. That said, the interviews here are way too short and shallow. Can't expect much more from a TV program aimed at producing a few sound bites. Would have loved to see a real music journalist interview all three (Anne, Krieger and Densmore) for a more extended interview.
Unfortunately every interview with Robbie turns into a discussion about Light My Fire. The guy is very interesting and quirky but he and John must be so sick of talking about the same stuff 48 years since the group disbanded.
Watch for the tv series "The Big Interview" hosted by Dan Rather. He did an in-depth interview with John and Robbie. He has been doing them for a number of years now and really does great interviews. It is a series I watch on AXS tv. Here's a link about it.

Gorgeous hair!!! Amazing expression of confidence, authority, peace, charm and beauty in his portrait photos while looking right into camera as if he is looking at you! Very personable.
Man you can see Jim in her face. Its so weird to see Jims family. They were VERY private for many years, and avoided the spotlight. He has a brother as well.
good to see Robbie and John have put the triviality behind them. when you realize you're only one half of this phenomenon that remains, sense of mortality takes over and you realize there's more to cherish than to discard
I always hated when they say JIM MORRISON wouldn't be nothing without THE DOORS. THE DOORS WOULDN'T BE NOTHING WITHOUT EACHOTHER. They all brought their own thing to the table because they all had different musical backgrounds and that brought to the table to make a unique sound. At one show they was announced as JIM MORRISON AND THE DOORS. Jim made them go back and introduce them right as THE DOORS.
I visited his grave in Pere Lachaise when I was younger, never realising what the Doors, Jim and his poetry, as well as his life story, would come to mean to me 🌵💗
I think it's just amazing that Jim's sister has painstakingly taken care of his writings and artifacts. This is what family is about.

The Doors are timeless.
They will always be relevant.
The doors will never die, best band in the 60s era
Not the Beatles but a good band

Been there myself to that gravesite! Rip Jim !
Visited myself with a colleague over twenty years ago. Pere Lachaise is an amazing community and well worth the visit. Across the street from the cemetery is a very nice restaurant. With literally thousands of famous people buried across the avenue, who do you think the restaurant has a picture of displayed humbly on its wall? You guessed it.
The truly timeless music of The Doors.
Jim Morrison, a American treasure.
Creative genius, so timeless
The chemistry between those 4 guys..CHANGE THE LIFE OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD..,FOR ALL HISTORY PAST,PRESENT AND FUTURE..What they bring to MUSIC and (ALL THAT'S LINKED)..is UNIQUE!!!.THANK'S GUYS!!.ANNE MORRISON is still a beam of sunlight today...
I was only 12 when Jim Morrison passed away and "RIDERS ON THE STORM"was my favorite Doors hit song...So beautiful yet so haunting at the same time...R.I.P. JIM...🎤🎤🥁🎹
Jim was gifted, smart, his intelligence passed onto in his music during a pretty wild time in history. The whole band just synthesized really well musically lots of talent there too. The proof is, they are still popular today.
Good job little sister, The Doors are the most unique bands in the the history of Rock n’ Roll And one of the most important bands from the 60’s
For me Jim was the best of all of time. He misses him so much in this world
I'd love to hear more from Anne and Andy.
Where Is Andy? :(
@@ezequielcuevas5892
Jim's brother. I don't know where he is or what he does. I guess he's private.
@@lambjack1
He lives in Hawaii and had 2 kids.
@@twomindz79 ohh, Hawaii, Very good place for lived, thanks bro.
@@lambjack1 the last notice to I know from Andy was in 2014, for a documentally about Jim, after this, not knowlling for him.
I always thought Jim came up with the “our love become a funeral pyre” line. Always fun when you find you guessed it right
I’ve made that trip to Jim’s grave in Paris……and saw Robby Krieger in concert at the Whiskey on July 4th. Such a surreal experience. I’m blessed, The Doors are like that. They are worth every second…..
A friend of mine ordered the book and sent it to me to have. It's absolutely amazing.
When my daughter was only eight years old, she was playing and singing The Crystal Ship at the local restaurant, thanks to her piano teacher, Mike Evans Piano, who happens to have a channel here on YT. What a timeless song and band! Thanks!
And it is not an easy song!!
The doors are greatest band ever an big part of my life!!🤘🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing
And thanks to the Morrison family for opening up the vault!
It's 51 years tomorrow we lost Jimi, and here we go again 50 years for Jim, sadly missed xx
There will NEVER be another Jim Morrison, at least not in my lifetime. RIP, Lizard King!
It was the music that turned me on to The Doors almost 30 years ago, and still is….
Anne is great and with Robby and John keeping the Doors legacy going. It still amazes me that Jim’s Dad the Admiral never listened to any of the songs.
Saul Bennett
I’m pretty sure Admiral Morrison listened to the Doors entire catalog.
I got to have that book!!!!! The doors the best band ever!!!!!!🍄🍄💨💨🥃🥃🍺
Great job little sister for for ever taking care of Jim's private belongs. He passed away 5 years before I was born. I listen to Jim and The Doors at least once a week. The icon's forever!
Forever 27
I wasn't even born when jim was around or when he died but goddammit if i don't miss him everyday and love him, his music or his poetry
The Doors! The Best band of all time🙏🏼
Im very proud Manzarek was polish his all grandparents were from Poland 🥰
I love John and Robbie!
Jim's sister seems like a lovely lady and she is keeping his legacy alive through his writings, in a way he would have approved, and be proud off.
Anne is now able to do what should have been done decades ago Now she is able to the rightful heirs are now in control thank goodness👍❤️
Now it’s time for HWY to be released on Blu-Ray.
@@andrewkemp1882 100%
Her father died in 2008. Who else would have been standing in the way?
@@jondrew55 Pamela Courson’s family maybe?
@@ruth1035 Yes, Courson’s family where left as heirs because Pamela was the heir after Jim died. She then died 2 yrs later and that’s how her family had control of Jim Morrison’s estate and licensing etc. Morrison’s family then took them to court and they settled on a percentage.
If when I die I can here all of The Doors music and Jims poetry for eternity.
That would be my heaven.
The Doors will always be synonym for Jim but in he struck the purest gold by meeting the other band members. John and Robbie are and Ray was so extremely talented.
They made Jim's voice and poetry come to life...
Even when all of us who remember the Doors when they first hit the scene, we Baby Boomers, fans, surviving band members, have all passed away. People of future generations will be still playing The Doors.. They were just that important and vital to music..
All four were special. And will continue to be. Thank you for the good times.
The future’s uncertain and the end is always near…..
What a great sister Anne must of been. .
Great segment! What she did was absolutely great. Preserving Jim’s writings this way was a great accomplishment. Jim would be proud. I wish though John would get past the negativity towards Jim. It’s in the past. Easier to make peace than hold a grudge.
My favorite band all time!
Much love to Anne for going above and beyond for being diligent and thorough to bring Jim’s writings to life. XO
One of the greatest ever. In a class all by themselves I’ve loved the doors my entire life and by the time I really got into them Jim Morrison had already been gone for over 10 years to me it’s no surprise that people today still listen to the doors . Excellence unique excellence one of a kind great music will never die when your heart and soul is in it people will recognize that 100 years from now Jim was a shaman of greatness
Jim Morrison wild, young and inspiring what an incredible story you wrote, King Lizard forever ❤️
One of my favorite bands of all time!
One of greatest bands ever.
Not only did they create the best music of all time they were works of art.
Anne, thank you so much for allowing to be interviewed and sharing this story. I am so excited about the book. I purchased a copy on 02/01/2023. I have been a fan of Jim's words and the band's music when I discovered them, while in college (1995). I hope you are doing well.
What a wonderful woman. Good energy and kindness are just beaming off her.
Still the best music that's ever been created
Jim Morrison.......a poet who will never be forgotten , thanks so much for the awesome memories 👏☮️✌️
For me is Jim Morrison the best Singer of the World - he is amazing not only his life but he writes with Soul, Emotions. He was a Genius far beyond this World ❤ And he was a Beautiful Man - timeless ❤️
All 4 of the men made the Doors
BUT
Without Jim Morrison the Doors were no more.
Heartfelt thanks to Anne Morrison for putting the book together.
I love "the doors" music and I love James Douglas Morrison's poetry!! Thanks to his sweet sister for putting some of his work out in a book to share with the rest of the world to see👍🏼
This is extraordinary. In my youth, I had assumed all these rock “stars” were drugged-out, alcoholics with nothing to say. In my old age (and theirs) nearly all these guys display a wisdom I never thought possible. I look at my poor parents who never travelled, never read poetry never protested anything…did not grow spiritually, intellectually or socially. These guys, with little exception…lived the equivalent of 3 lives. I loved listening to Krieger and Densmore. They had a LOT to say!
Jim was loved by his family. His sister is particular proud, happy and inspired by her brother. RIP Jim.
Thanks for the upload. Nice to see Jim's archive through his sister's eyes. That said, the interviews here are way too short and shallow. Can't expect much more from a TV program aimed at producing a few sound bites. Would have loved to see a real music journalist interview all three (Anne, Krieger and Densmore) for a more extended interview.
Yes, I completely agree.
Unfortunately every interview with Robbie turns into a discussion about Light My Fire. The guy is very interesting and quirky but he and John must be so sick of talking about the same stuff 48 years since the group disbanded.
Watch for the tv series "The Big Interview" hosted by Dan Rather. He did an in-depth interview with John and Robbie. He has been doing them for a number of years now and really does great interviews. It is a series I watch on AXS tv. Here's a link about it.

@@curtzeek8818 Totally agree; anyone who likes Doors music would be entertained by the Dan Rather interview.
AMEN!!!!
I believe he’s still with us…🙏🙏
Please explain!🙂
Thank God 🙏 I found this.....
Heard on Bloomberg Radio on Sunday Morning show only Audio....
What a jewel 😍.
Thank you.
Huge fan since I was a kid
Gorgeous hair!!! Amazing expression of confidence, authority, peace, charm and beauty in his portrait photos while looking right into camera as if he is looking at you! Very personable.
Rest in peace Jim and Ray. Stuck in his prime.
Man you can see Jim in her face. Its so weird to see Jims family. They were VERY private for many years, and avoided the spotlight. He has a brother as well.
good to see Robbie and John have put the triviality behind them. when you realize you're only one half of this phenomenon that remains, sense of mortality takes over and you realize there's more to cherish than to discard
I always hated when they say JIM MORRISON wouldn't be nothing without THE DOORS.
THE DOORS WOULDN'T BE NOTHING WITHOUT EACHOTHER.
They all brought their own thing to the table because they all had different musical backgrounds and that brought to the table to make a unique sound.
At one show they was announced as JIM MORRISON AND THE DOORS. Jim made them go back and introduce them right as THE DOORS.
The whole was definitely greater than the sum of the parts, as it often is with great bands.
I love their first album they were great in concert
I visited his grave in Pere Lachaise when I was younger, never realising what the Doors, Jim and his poetry, as well as his life story, would come to mean to me 🌵💗
The Doors music was just to dam good to be forgotten! Cherish it Robbie, most musicians never get too.
How can you not admire his sister she comes across to me a such a lovely and loving women who loved and misses her brother very much
