Dittos to what you said. One would think Manzarek wrote Light my Fire given the intense organ part. However Krieger wrote that one. Band liked it. Ray Manzarek goes off and rather quickly comes up with this Bach inspired intro. Rest is history.
Ray was a pioneer rock keyboard player and plowed the ground for many that followed. I really liked that guy and miss him.
I'm a guitar player for over 50 years. His fills,along with Manzarek for Morrison, were always dead on.

I remember spending hours and hours trying to play the intro keyboard to “light my fire”
It is probably the most intense lessons I forced myself to do, and I learned to play so much more for the exercise.
Didn’t Morrison hate Light My Fire?
