Weekend Breakthrough Song
Happy 70th birthday to fine guitarist and composer for The Doors, Robbie Krieger (yes, we know it's also Elvis' birthday - sorry, not big fans - as well as David Bowie, who turns 69). Krieger's bottleneck guitar work was integral to The Doors' early sound, and he co-wrote many of The Doors' most popular songs, including their breakout single "Light My Fire." This is a song co-written by Krieger that was the first single they released, on New Year's Day 1967: "Break On Through (To The Other Side)." Interesting promotional video, to boot.
