Do any of The Doors ever sing lead on their studio albums besides Jim Morrison?

Brainyblonde

Full Circle is the second album The Doors released without Jim Morrison and also their last. The album included the hit single The Mosquito. Keyboardist Ray Manzarek and guitarist Robby Krieger took Morrison's place as lead singer. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_Circle_(The_Doors_album) Aug 19 06, 7:48 PM

True, their last two studio albums were made after Morrison's death. But on their first 6 when he was still alive? Aug 19 06, 7:52 PM

I'm finding that Jim Morrison is the only one ever listed as lead vocal and no mention of Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger or John Densmore ever taking that role while Morrison was alive. However, that is not to say it didn't happen. Aug 19 06, 8:09 PM

Although Morrison was probably listed as lead vocal through out, good research zbeckabee, another member of the band did sing portions of one song alone. Can anyone find out who that was and what song he sang portions of? Aug 19 06, 8:39 PM

I'll bet you I'm wrong...BUT, at the end of the song (Touch Me), Ray Manzarek can be heard singing the phrase "stronger than dirt" over the last four notes of the song, a comic reference to the jingle for Ajax laundry detergent. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touch_Me_%28The_Doors_song%29 Aug 19 06, 9:25 PM

Ray Manzarek sang a cover of Willie Dixon's "(You Need Meat) Don't Go Further" appearing on the 1972 compilation Weird Scenes Inside The Goldmine. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Doors#Recorded_output Aug 19 06, 9:43 PM

Yes, you win your bet zbeck "stronger than dirt" was not the answer I was looking for. And gdec1 "Weird Scenes Inside the Goldmine" was a compilation not a studio album. I love this great effort though! Aug 19 06, 9:54 PM

Ray Manzarek is featured as a vocalist on the album 'The Soft Parade'. Haven't got time before leaving for work to sift through which particular song he is accredited to, so I'll leave that to someone else. http://www.answers.com/topic/the-soft-parade#after_ad1 Aug 20 06, 1:28 AM

peasy, I take my hat off to your detective work. But... Manzarek is not the answer I am looking for (that leaves two). And for those of you who still care, a good response to peasy's answer is you're getting warmer. Aug 20 06, 9:25 AM

Robbie Krieger (Vocals) (Background) on The Soft Parade still searching for the song. http://www.answers.com/topic/the-soft-parade#after_ad1 Aug 20 06, 9:45 AM

Robbie Krieger, guitar and chorus vocals on Runnin' Blue http://www.epinions.com/content_11968155268 Aug 20 06, 10:15 AM

Congratulations! In Running Blue on The Soft Parade album Robbie Krieger sings the following lyrics: All right, look at my shoes Not quite the walkin' blues Don't fight, too much to lose Can't fight the runnin' blues It is a great song to listen to because Krieger's voice sounds so different to Morrison's who sings the rest of the song. Does your life still suck? And give peasy credit for coming up with the right album. Aug 20 06, 10:46 AM

Thank you peasy for coming up with the correct album...and NO...suddenly my life is magically delicious. Aug 20 06, 11:34 AM
