The first huge Rock & Roll star, Elvis Presley was born in Tupelo, Mississippi during The Great Depression and moved to Memphis in his teens, signing with Sun Records in 1954. He cut five singles for the label, becoming a hot commodity in the process on the country charts. In the late 1960s, though, Presley started putting out more focused material, and as a result, some of his lost critical acclaims came back. 1969 saw “The King” return to live performing, and he would continue to tour during what turned out to be the final years of his life, also frequently releasing new material.

The band took its name from the title of Aldous Huxley’s book The Doors of Perception, which itself was a reference to a William Blake quotation, from his famous work The Marriage of Heaven and Hell: “If the doors of perception were cleansed everything would appear to man as it is, infinite. They were among the most controversial, influential and unique rock acts of the 1960s and beyond, mostly because of 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.
