About This Track
“Light My Fire” is a song originally performed by The Doors which was recorded in August 1966 and released in January 1967. It spent three weeks at number one on the Billboard’s Hot 100, and one week on the Cashbox Top 100. It was re-released in 1968, peaking at number 87. The song was largely written by Robby Krieger, and credited to the entire band.
According to the Light My Fire Songfacts, this was the last song Jim Morrison performed live. It was a show at The Warehouse in New Orleans.
A live version was released in 1983 on their album Alive, She Cried, the first of several live or compilation albums released in subsequent decades to include the song.
The song is #35 on Rolling Stone’s list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It was also included in the Songs of the Century list and was ranked number 7 in VH1’s 100 Greatest Songs of All Time list.
José Feliciano’s cover version won a 1969 Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, the same year he won another Grammy for Best New Artist.

Weird story: Way before I ever heard this song, my mom was talking to me about how I would talk in my sleep when I was very young, and mentioned that one night she heard me saying, "Come on baby, light my fire!" I didn't know what that meant then, but you can imagine my surprise when I heard this song for the first time a few years later...

It's kind of ironic that the popular song by this amazing band was the only one written by the guitarist. I think it's a nice little man's protest against Jim using the band for his own success. 'cause that's not the way a band should work. In my opinion "Light My Fire" kind of lit the fire of the band.
