James Douglas Morrison, also known as “the Lizard King”, was an American singer, poet, and songwriter who led the rock band the Doors. Known for his dark and mysterious persona, Morrison was a symbol of countercultural rebellion in the 1960s. He and the Doors gained fame for their unique sound, which blended rock, blues, and jazz with introspective lyrics. Morrison was known for reciting poetry at concerts, and his sonorous voice was a key part of the band's magic.
