Happy birthday, Paul Rothchild.

As the producer behind The Doors’ first five albums, Rothchild played a key role in shaping the band’s sound during their most formative years, guiding the sessions for albums like THE DOORS, STRANGE DAYS, and more.

His meticulous ear in the studio helped bring some of the band’s most iconic recordings to life.

“But to tell you the truth, every time I hear that song, it means something else to me. I really don’t know what I was trying to say. It just started out as a simple goodbye song.” -Jim Morrison

When making L.A.WOMAN, The Doors wanted to record somewhere more comfortable than their usual studio at Sunset Sound. Producer Bruce Botnick and the band set up a recording space inside their rehearsal room, The Doors Workshop, at 8512 Santa Monica Blvd.

The early days.

These photos were captured at the London Fog, a 1960s nightclub located at 8919 Sunset Blvd in West Hollywood.

Before they ever performed there, The Doors were given the chance to audition and bring a crowd. When they did, friends and UCLA classmates showed up in full force to support the band. Impressed by the audience they drew, club owner Jesse James hired them on the spot.

UCLA classmate Nettie Peña photographed the band during their first shows for a student film project. These images are part of her work.

Did you know that the gritty bassline on "Roadhouse Blues" wasn't played by a session regular, but by Blues legend Lonnie Mack?

At the time of the MORRISON HOTEL sessions, Mack had actually quit the music industry to sell Bibles. He was recruited by the band to provide that signature "chugging" rhythm. The session was so high-energy that it reportedly inspired Mack to come out of retirement and jump back into his own music career.

Today we remember Gloria Stavers, the influential photographer and longtime editor of 16 MAGAZINE, who helped shape the visual culture of Rock and Pop in the 1960s and beyond.

Stavers photographed and interviewed many of the era’s most important artists. Her work captured the spirit of the late-’60s music scene and brought fans closer to the musicians they admired, including features on The Doors during their rise to fame.

Swipe through and take a look at some of Stavers’ most iconic shots.
