New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Recording Academy) Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award recipient Ray Manzarek of the Doors was a gifted keyboardist and a founding member of one of the most influential and enduring groups of the '60s.
He and his bandmates helped shape the sound of rock music, and with three titles, including the album The Doors, in the GRAMMY Hall Of Fame, they have cemented their place in music history as one of the preeminent and original bands of our time.
Our industry has lost a legendary and passionate musician, and his legacy will continue to inspire and intrigue artists for many generations to come. Our deepest condolences go out to this family, his friends, and music fans everywhere who mourn this tremendous loss.
