Morrison was preening, pretentious, troubled, artsy drug-addict necessary for most successful 60s and 70s rock bands. That said, he had a hell of a set of pipes and knew how to use them.
Manzarek's keyboard was what drew me to the Doors' music. He was a jazz player (a compliment), to me. Riders on the Storm ... I can hear it now.

Cant you see that I am not afraid...... That one always gets me in a primal place. Morrison could sing like very few.

I’m at a loss right now, one of the Door’s tunes ends with “Stronger Than Dirt”. A local d.j. mused “What can that mean?” I called in and said that as a toddler in the late 50’s I remember an Ajax commercial that had a jingo that ended the same way “(Ay-jax)Stronger Than Dirt”.

Aw man. Ive been a Doors fan since hearing Light My Fire on my first FM radio in 1977. I remember hearing the commercial "Come on Buick light my fire" an an old tube radio.

The Keyboard work on Light My Fire can only be described as Iconic.(possibly the only other iconic keyboard man from that era would be Garth Hudson ie. Chest Fever)
RIP Ray, you entertained me.
