Happy Birthday to the magical wizard behind the keyboard, Mr. Ray Manzarek. Ray’s intertwined organ and piano virtuosity meshed perfectly with Jim’s singing style, as heard on any Doors track. “‘See that guy,’ Jim Morrison once remarked, pointing to Ray Manzarek: ‘He is The Doors’.” -ROLLING STONE MAGAZINE Show some love for Ray by commenting one of your favorite melodies or solos. | Jim Morrison

Honoring Ray Manzarek and the unforgettable keyboard riffs that continue to echo through time. From his roots in Chicago and early days playing music with his brothers, to co-founding The Doors, Ray never stopped exploring new creative ground. He was the architect of the band’s sound -fusing rock, jazz, blues, classical, and more into something entirely original.
