Rock God


"I see myself as an intelligent, sensitive human, with the soul of a clown which forces me to blow it at the most important moments."- Morrison

Jim Morrison was best known as the lead singer of the band The Doors, and introduced the world of rock to a new kind of rock n roll by combining psychedelic rock with poetic lyrics.


Besides being a sex symbol and the ultimate rock star of his time, he was also a published poet. Throughout his career Morrison would avidly staged live spoken word poems. 









Some of his most notable hits with the The Doors were "Light My Fire", "People Are Strange" and "Love Her Madly", just to name a few. Morrison was also the lyricist of the group.

When we think of  Jim Morrison, we have this image of him in our minds and its the famous shots Joel Brodsky took of him titled "The Young Lion". These black and white images are the most iconic images of Jim Morrison.

His stage presence was enigmatic, he commanded the stage in a style all his own and connected with every single one of his enamored fans...
