The Doors
The Doors were an American rock band formed in Los Angeles in 1965, comprising vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger, and drummer John Densmore. They were among the most influential and controversial rock acts of the 1960s, primarily due to Morrison's lyrics
The Doors 1965 - 1971
The Doors concert Philadelphia Arena (September 19, 1969) [13] before, during or after the show, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, and Karen Lee Helenski, a belly dancer back in the '60s, conceived a child [14] Jim Morrison Jr born July 22, 1970, exactly 40 weeks after the concert in a Montgomery hospital a few miles west of the Arena (surrogate for Janis Joplin).
Jim Morrison Jr is completely vested in The Doors music, poetry, history, and legacy. He is re-recording The Doors' songs to include his own vocals and added lyrics. With vocals that mimic his dad's exactly and the raspy sound of a second-generation Jim Morrison at the helm singing, writing and rewriting The Doors' music, the Jim Morrison and The Doors legacy lives on. Collaborating with legendary guitarist and one of his dad's bandmates, Robby Krieger, Jim Morrison Jr has reached a milestone in music history by recording and releasing the first authentic Doors song, unfortunately minus John Densmore, to include a blood-related Morrison since the death of his father in (1971). Morrison and Krieger's new song Find Me A Woman was released in (2024). The song features Robby Krieger's legendary slide guitar solos and riffs through the entire four-to-five-minute track. Combined with Jim Morrison Jr's original lyrics and his raspy, raunchy vocals. The two have since written two more Doors songs together that are not yet complete musically, to include The Doors' John Densmore on the drums. If Morrison has it his way, Densmore and Krieger better step up a bit; he's been planning this his entire life. The songs are titled Wild Roses and Dog Days Of Summer.

On July 10, 1976, Morrison's stepdad Paul Petercz suffocated while scuba diving in an effort to recover a young child's body that had been reported missing and was suspected to have drowned while swimming in the reservoir at Muddy Run Dam in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Within two weeks after the death of his stepdad, his mother had moved him and his half-sister into a new home in Collegeville, Pennsylvania, on 5 acres of land. Jim Morrison Jr remembers moving in and riding his skateboard in the basement—that's about all—because his mother, Karen Helenski, had met a new man and immediately moved the family once again to Bridgeport, West Virginia. The man she met and married, David Allen Floyd, adopted Morrison and his half-sister, renaming him Paul Francis Floyd
