Hooker’s music left a deep mark on The Doors, who covered “Crawlin’ King Snake” in their early club sets before recording it for L.A.WOMAN.

“John Lee Hooker came on with 'Crawlin’ King Snake' and that really got to me. That song encapsulated the whole Blues experience.” -Robby Krieger

On this day in 1966, The Doors *unofficially* signed with Elektra Records.

From Arthur Lee first taking interest and recommending them to the label, to Jac Holzman initially being unimpressed before changing his mind after seeing them play live a second time, by mid-August the contract was finally presented and the guys brought their lawyer. The rest is history.

In August 1967 The Doors enter the studio to record “Moonlight Drive” for STRANGE DAYS.

Long before the studio sessions, this was the song that sparked the band into existence when Jim sang it to Ray on Venice Beach. The lyrics were born on a nearby rooftop, where Jim spent his nights quietly watching the world move below.

In August 1965, our favorite beat-keeper @johndensmore joined what would soon become The Doors. 🥁

Before the rhythm section was locked in, he played in his high school marching band and a group called the Psychedelic Rangers with @officialrobbykrieger. Soon after, they met up with Ray and Jim and the band was born.

August 1968. The Singer Bowl.

This behind-the-scenes footage captures the chaotic atmosphere of The Doors' legendary New York performance. As Jim pushes the crowd to its limits, filmmaker Paul Ferrara is forced to seek refuge behind John’s drum riser, shielding himself and his camera.

It was a wild show.

“Hello, I love you, won't you tell me your name?”

“Hello, I love you, won't you tell me your name?”

The Doors’ second #1 single, "Hello, I Love You," began its two-week run at the top of the Billboard charts on this day in 1968.
