The Doors were formed in Los Angeles in July 1965 by UCLA film students. They were among the most controversial rock acts of the 1960s, due mostly to Morrison's wild, poetic lyrics and charismatic but unpredictable stage persona. After Morrison's death in 1971, the remaining members continued as a trio until finally disbanding in 1973

John Paul Densmore (born December 1, 1944) - drums
Robert Alan "Robby" Krieger (born January 8, 1946) - guitar.
