James Douglas "Jim" Morrison (December 8, 1943 – July 3, 1971) was an American sex symbol, crooner, and occasional poet, best known for his time as the unstable leader of the LSD-alcohol-speed rock group, The Doors. Morrison's flowing locks of hair, sharp wit, and incredibly thick beard were the main reasons for his great popularity.

During his time with The Doors, Morrison produced a large amount of popular music and became a symbol of the 60s to rival even The Beatles. However, his heavy drinking and complete lack of social etiquette also made him a symbol of wild, crazy youth and he is known to have set the standard for many of the later famous singers in rock history. Additionally, Morrison is known to have never learned how to read music or even play an actual musical instrument (a tambourine is not considered an instrument), yet he is continually credited with being the main creative force behind The Doors; his lovely mind was somehow able to formulate complex melodies and map out parts for multiple instruments at a moment's notice. Today, Morrison's legacy is astonishing, with people of all countries and backgrounds worshipping him with wall-sized posters and black lights. (Full article...)
