"Light My Fire" is a song past the American rock ring the Doors. It was recorded in Baronial 1966 and released in January 1967 on their eponymous debut album. Released as an edited single on April 24, 1967,[6] information technology spent three weeks at number i on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (in July 29, August v and August 12, 1967), and one week on the Cash Box Elevation 100, nearly a twelvemonth later its recording.

A year later, it re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 in 1968 following the success of José Feliciano's cover version of the song (which peaked at number three on the Billboard chart), peaking at number 87. The song was principally written by the band's guitarist, Robby Krieger,[7] just was credited to the entire band.

History

Jim had been writing all the songs and and so one day we realized we didn't accept enough tunes, so he said, "Hey, why don't you guys try and write songs?" I wrote "Light My Fire" that nighttime and brought it to the next rehearsal... It's always kind of bugged me that so many people don't know I was the composer.

– Robby Krieger discussing the song's writing during an interview.[8]

"Light My Fire" originated in early on 1966 as a limerick by Robby Krieger,[9] who said that he was inspired by the melody of "Hey Joe" and the lyrics of the Rolling Stones' "Play with Fire".[10] On taking his initial composition to the band, John Densmore suggested that information technology should have more than of a Latin rhythm, Jim Morrison wrote the second verse and office of the chorus ("Try to set the night on fire"),[xi] while Ray Manzarek added the Bach-influenced introductory organ motif; Densmore also suggested that it should open with a single snare pulsate hit.[10]

The band started playing the song in performances in April 1966, and extended it with a jazzy improvisation. When the Doors performed the song at live concerts, Manzarek played the song's bass line with his left hand on a Fender Rhodes Piano Bass, while performing the chief keyboard lines on a Vox Continental using his right hand. When they came to record the song later in the year, producer Paul A. Rothchild brought in session musician Larry Knechtel to overdub a Fender Precision Bass guitar to double the keyboard bass line.[10] [12] [xiii] [xiv] Rothchild also suggested that the recording repeat the introductory motif at the cease of the track.[10]

Although the album version was just over vii minutes long, it was widely requested for radio play,[7] notably by Los Angeles DJ Dave Diamond, and Elektra Records possessor Jac Holzman asked that a shorter version be released as a single.[x] The group initially disagreed to the subtraction, due to their preference of the uncut take.[15] Yet despite their reluctance, Rothchild edited a single version, cut down to nether three minutes with near all the instrumental break removed for airplay on AM radio.[9]

The Ed Sullivan Prove

The band appeared on various Boob tube shows, such as American Bandstand, miming to a playback of the single. However, "Light My Burn" was performed alive by the Doors on The Ed Sullivan Show circulate on September 17, 1967. The Doors were asked past producer Bob Precht, Sullivan's son-in-law, to change the line "girl, we couldn't become much college", as the sponsors were uncomfortable with the possible reference to drugs. Yet, the meaning of the line was confirmed to be literal, as in "high in the sky".[sixteen] [17] The band agreed to exercise and then, and did a rehearsal using the amended lyrics, "daughter, nosotros couldn't get much ameliorate". However, during the live performance, the band'south lead vocaliser Jim Morrison sang the original, unaltered lyrics.[xvi] Ed Sullivan did not shake Jim Morrison's hand as he left the phase. The ring had been negotiating a multi-episode deal with the producers; even so, after violating the agreement non to perform the offending line, they were informed they would never perform on the evidence again. Morrison'due south response was "Hey man. We but did the Sullivan show."[eighteen]

This performance was portrayed in the 1991 Oliver Stone film The Doors, but with Morrison singing "college" more emphatically and without his subsequent antiphon to Sullivan and the show'due south producer.[19]

Buick TV commercial

Drummer John Densmore recalled that Buick offered $75,000 in October 1968 to adapt the vocal for employ in a Buick TV commercial ("Come up on, Buick, light my fire").[20] [21] Morrison, however, was still in London later a European tour had merely ended on September xx, and could non exist contacted past the other band members, who agreed to the bargain in his absence. As the band had agreed in 1965 to both equal splits and anybody having veto power in decisions, Morrison consequently chosen Buick and threatened to personally smash a Buick with a sledgehammer on tv, should the commercial be aired.[22]

Musical construction

"Light My Burn" is notated in the primal of A Minor.[23] Ray Manzarek'southward keyboard playing descends from Grand to D Major, so goes to F and B-apartment major; standing onto the pitches of E-apartment and A-apartment major, before returning to the initial key of A Major.[24] This alternation was based on Johann Bach's "Two and Three Role Inventions",[25] just author Philip Clark has suggested that information technology may have been inspired by Dave Brubeck's compositions.[26] The extended solo arrangement is performed throughout the keys of A Minor and B Minor, the same chord progression used by John Coltrane on his encompass version of "My Favorite Things".[27] [28] According to Manzarek, the instrumental sections were an "homage" to John Coltrane of whom the ring were admirers of.[29] Parts of the solos also contain polyrhythm vogue.[30]

Speed discrepancy

The 40th Anniversary mix of the debut album presents a stereo version of "Light My Fire" in speed-corrected form for the first time. The speed discrepancy (being about 3.5% slow) was brought to Bruce Botnick'south attention by Brigham Young Academy professor Michael Hicks, who noted that all video and audio alive performances of the Doors performing the song, the sheet music, and statements of band members show the vocal in a central almost a half step higher (central of A) than the stereo LP release (key of A♭/1000♯). Until the 2006 remasters, merely the original 45 RPM singles ("Low-cal My Fire" and "Break On Through") were produced at the right speed.[31]

Legacy

A live version was released in 1983 on their live album Alive, She Cried,[32] the showtime of several live albums released in subsequent decades to include the song. "Lite My Fire" achieved modest success in Australia, where it peaked at number 22 on the ARIA chart. The unmarried originally reached number 49 in the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland in 1967, but experienced belated success in that land in 1991, when a reissue peaked at number seven. This reissue was more successful in Ireland, peaking atop the IRMA nautical chart for two weeks in June. The reissue occurred due to revived interest in the ring following Oliver Stone's film biopic The Doors.

The unmarried was certified gold by the Recording Manufacture Association of America in September 1967 for exceeding one million units shipped.[33] Equally of December 1971, it was the band's best-selling single with over 927,000 copies sold.[34] It was also certified Platinum by the RIAA in September 2018 for reaching 1,000,000 digital units.[35] Billboard described the single as a "top discotheque offering" with an "infectious crush" that "actually grooves from beginning to finish."[36] Cash Box called the single a "potent, pounding foot-stomper with unlimited potential."[37]

"Light My Burn" has since been widely considered every bit ane of the Doors' greatest songs,[4] [38] [39] and a quintessential work of the psychedelic rock genre.[ii] In 2004 and 2010, the song was ranked at number 35 on Rolling Rock's 500 Greatest Songs of All Fourth dimension,[40] and so it was re-ranked at number 310 on the 2021 list.[41] It was included in RIAA's Songs of the Century list, ranking number 52. In 2014 NME ranked the song at 199 in its 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list.[42] Feliciano's cover won the 1969 Grammy Award for Best Male Popular Song Performance,[43] the same yr he besides won the Grammy for Best New Artist. In 1998, the track was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame under the category Rock (single).[44]

Puerto Rican vocalist and guitarist José Feliciano enjoyed significant international success when he released his version of "Calorie-free My Fire" in 1968 as a single on the RCA Victor label. It is perhaps the best known encompass of this vocal, reaching number three on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 charts, only a twelvemonth after the original had been a number-one hit on the same nautical chart. His version became the bigger hit in Australia and also in Canada, where it reached number one.[64]

Feliciano's remake blended Latin influences, including a mixture of archetype Castilian guitar, and soul, with American pop.[63] It contains "proto-Latin rock" stylings,[65] and a slower tempo than the Doors original version.[66] In a 1969 interview, Feliciano said that he liked the song when he first heard it, just felt that he should wait a year before releasing the song. He too said that "California Dreamin'" was the original A-side of the single.[66]

The unmarried helped to spur the worldwide success of its album, Feliciano!, which was nominated for multiple Grammy Awards in 1969. Feliciano's system of "Calorie-free My Fire" has influenced several subsequent versions, including that by Will Young. Songwriter Robby Krieger said in an interview about the cover: "It'southward actually a groovy feeling to have written a classic. I recollect I owe a big debt to Jose Feliciano because he is actually the ane, when he did information technology, everybody started doing it. He did a whole unlike arrangement on it."[67]

Feliciano revisited the vocal, performing a duet with Minnie Riperton on her 1979 album Minnie.[68]
