RIP - Ray Manzarek
« on: May 21, 2013, 11:37:09 AM »
Ray Manzarek, founding member and keyboard player of The Doors, passed away yesterday at age 74.

Many people don't realize it, but The Dors didn't have a bass player. Manzarek played the bass lines on a Fender keyboard bass while playing melodies on his Vox Continental: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvVCCMG-JoQ&feature=player_embedded#!

Truly a trailblazer in music.

RIP, Ray.

Even though he was the oldest member of the group, I always thought he spoke with so much youthful energy...especially when he spoke about Jim.
