I agree with wideawake. I’ve been a keyboardist (organ, synth and piano ) and was playing in bands since 1963...retired 1994 to take up diaconal studies at Providence College. Ray was not only an excellent writer/player, but also an innovator that changed the course of rock music. He inspired a whole new genre of players, including myself.

RIP, Ray

Incense and Peppermints by the Strawberry Alarm Clock, which scored about three months after "Light My Fire," sounds like it might have been inspired by the Doors and Manzarek.
