- Collecting the words of Jim Morrison 2021, Anne Morrison Chewning, Robby Krieger, John Densmore, The Doors.
When the lead singer of The Doors, Jim Morrison, died in 1971 at age 27, he left behind boxes filled with poetry, journals, and handwritten lyrics of what would become some of the era's most memorable songs. His sister, Anne Morrison Chewning, has now compiled material from his archive into a new book, "The Collected Works of Jim Morrison." Correspondent John Blackstone talked with Chewning, and with the two surviving members of The Doors - drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger - about Morrison's impact as a writer and performer.
I think it's just amazing that Jim's sister has painstakingly taken care of his writings and artifacts. This is what family is about.
Jim apparently didn't see his parents after 1964 but did see his brother and sister from time to time. HIs father was an admiral in the Navy. Talk about different career paths.
@@TheGumbyRules His mother turned up at one of his gigs and was trying to get backstage to see him and when Jim found out he ordered the security to make sure that she was prevented from seeing him.
@@heg4444 that’s a rumor - the band said that never happened.
@@SittingBearProd I heard Ray Manzerak tell that story where they misdirected his mother so Jim wouldn't see her.
There's a video of interviews with Jim's Dad and sister .They both loved him .His sister was still heartbroken after all these years she loved her brother .
The doors will never die, best band in the 60s era
Not the Beatles but a good band
Maybe? the Beatles of the usa...Such a spectacular start , an almost no fault body of work, and a voice and band that are absolutely unique.
Best band EVER!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree that's what Unipe to other 60's band. I like what he said to Ed Sullivan, when Ed Sullivan said the Doors never will appear on this show and Jim Morrision turned around and said we Just did. Some people may thought he was smart, but he wasn't. Like Frank Zappa it's young Conservative people in music business that ruining music Industry, not the guys with the cigars.
Also a harbinger of the punk ethos that’s with us to this day.
The Doors are timeless.
They will always be relevant.
Nobody knew in 1967 that this was some of the best popular music that would ever be made. We're still listening to "Light My Fire" and the other Doors' songs more than 50 years later.
Back in L A in the 60!s we knew..in fact I was going to tell Morrison that years later at the Recording of LA Woman but I’d just missed him…
And because today’s music is terrible.
Bonjour de France. J'ai écouté les Doors pour la première fois en 1972. C'était '' Strange days ''. J'ai 63 ans, et j'écoute toujours les Doors. 👍🇫🇷🍷
@@nuvigroovi …I love music. Just like most. And today if you look, music is just as good or better. Amazing musicians are everywhere because of technology. I’m sad when I see people stuck in the past when it comes to music
back in the day I just thought they were cool. Later I realized what a lot of good songs they made like "Indian Summer", "Your lost little girl" etc.
I love that John learns something new from Robby about the lyrics from Light My Fire over 50 years later and we witness that moment.
The time to hesitate is through
No time to wallow in the mire
Try now we can only lose
And our love become a funeral pyre
all the above lines were written by jim. in this interview, john says jim only contributed "And our love become a funeral pyre".
Till now none of the doors fans knew that "Try to set the night on Fire" was written by Jim morrison. I've read many doors books, none mentioned it was jim's line.
@@destinationssa At least two books have taken their titles from those lines;
'Love Becomes a Funeral Pyre"
" Set the night on Fire".
I also think Don McClean was making a literary allusion in " American Pie":
" And as the flames climbed high into the night,
To light the sacrificial rite..."
I have the book on reserve at my library.
Can't wait!😊
@@brucemarshall3446 I believe that verse from American Pie spoke of that concert that mick jagger was performing at when the hell's angels stabbed and killed a guy. The hell's angels were hired security that night and mick jagger was egging on the crowd "and as the flames climbed high into the night to light the sacrificial rite I saw satan (jagger) laughing with delight...". Its too much to elaborate on but listen to the song again and take note of the references to jagger (jack flash), fire is the devils only friend, angel born in hell (hell's angels). He's referring to that specific concert as one of the days the music died. I can elaborate on the other verses also but its too much.
@@destinationssa Jim wrote the second verse which turns out to be the 3rd verse as well. I get that Robbie might get a bit pissed at not getting the credit he deserves but sometime they come off a little bitchy if you ask me, but then on flip side willing to sell any bit of tat merchandise with the face of Jim on it which I think Jim would probably most unhappy with
@@jrmy198523 Mick wasn't egging the crowd on, he was actually telling them to cool out and telling the hells angels if they don't stop beating everybody up that they were going to split. Then a little later the crowd parted and then the hells angel stabbed the guy in the neck/shoulder area because he had a gun in his hand.
When Manzarek died the TV news just spent like 1 minute o two to announce it.
One of the best musician of modern music.
The most engaging group, with an electric frontman. Jim Morrison was the fire, the band was the perfect palette.
their music aged very well!
Jimi's sister is so cute. I'm happy she did this interview and that she has his treasure.
She has her brothers eyes .
I don’t know who’s older ….. I think Jim was ??
Gone too soon !!!
I can’t believe I’m 27 years older than Jim now ….
And I was only 5 when he died .
Jim was born to be a Rock Star .
@@tubes5150 Yes Jim was older by 3 years.
I bet she was the most popular girl in school. Cute, great personality, intelligent and Jim Morrison's little sister!
I would like to hear from his younger brother . He must be obsessed with privacy
Ancient Gaelic culture, "the poet" was very important in society. Jim's roots are Gaelic.
Jim's roots are also German, Jim and I have the same six time great grandfather Conrad Emery (Konrad Hummerich) who immigrated to the US in the 1720's.
@@HawklordLI Yes true, a significant part of his ancestry was Scottish though.
@@Alexs.2599 Yeah, I always thought he prob had some Scottish in him, but what is the source of info, that you found w/ his Scottish roots? Just curious, really....
@@bruceaskew4742 Celtic Family Magazine ran a feature on his heritage and found that Jim's branch of Clan Morrison was originally from the Isle of Lewis, Scotland, while his Irish side, the Clelland clan who married into the Morrison line, were from County Down, Northern Ireland
Yes well "the poet" is like a mystic wordsmith he was into Indigenous Shaman culture too. He was a writer and philosopher but it's obvious that accident he witnessed as a child had some profound spiritual influence on him. "Indians scattered on dawns highway bleeding ghosts crowd the young childs fragile eggshell mind" for example.
Thank God Jim Morrison is finally getting the recognition and respect he so duly deserves. The Doors have always had a cult following that continues to grow, but a fairly recent ‘psychoanalysis of him by some TH-cam psychologist was offhandedly dismissive with no insight into the soul of this great poet. As a fifteen year old in 1968 hearing the Doors for the first time was truly life altering, it has the same effect today. Jim Morrison and the the Doors will continue to perplex and mesmerize long after that internet ‘psychoanalyst’ is long forgotten
I think I know what video you're talking about. I left some comments correcting him.
I couldn’t have put it better. Even Ray seemed to have to constantly defend Jim as being nothing like so many have portrayed him as being. While I was born in 66 I grew up a huge Doors fan. My pops was a DJ who brought home their first album when I was really little. I played that album every day. I got to a point when I sang I tried to tune my voice to sound like Jim. He really does have a very unique voice.
Yeah I think Morrison was often misunderstood, he had his faults but he was actually a good man who cared about people under all that. The movie certainly didn’t help with people’s perception of him.
In order to be “long forgotten” one must’ve been famous in the first place. Not sure I know this internet psychologist you speak of.
His mother and father didn’t get him but his sister preserved his legacy. She is so smart and cute. She obviously cared about her brother and his work by preserving everything in a vault. Very wise.
All his notebooks and handwritten lyrics. She made a great book with all his collected works! I’m so pleased to see Riders on the Storm written out in Jim’s handwriting on one sheet. That is so amazing to see! Thanks to his sister Anne.
I am grateful as a lifelong Doors fan to finally see all the material. 👏🏻
@dyn Jarren Do you know the fastest way for me to purchase the book?
@@danielleknight1067 . .Amazon. .Check Local Library.
Someone else preserved this material. His sister is just showing us the work others have done. You can tell by her interview that she doesnt read poetry or understand her brother's talent totally.
@@Funz2022 She shows the work Jim did, there is no "others" who did work... The Coursons kept all this, as they were the legal owners after Pam died.. I believe things like the naval sword which Jim got from his dad went back to the Morrison family.. Jim took this sword everywhere he went, even to Paris, because he respected his dad and family.. In 1969 Jim's dad even considered to quit his job in the army because of his son.. So maybe they don't understand all of his poems, but they surely understood each other as family, which is most important when your a family...
Anne comes off quite well here, I think. She's just trying to keep her brother's literary origins intact. Jim appreciated the poetical as well as the celebrity of rock n roll. Like Anne said, "He was of two minds". Very cool.
everything fell into place for this band to have a guy who looked like that and wrote and sang like that with a keyboardist with that much talent which imo doesn't get enough credit is truly amazing.
Robbie and John had their own unique styles to their playing too, they don't get enough credit either.
@@Gorgaveli
Ray played the bass on keyboards with his left hand while tearing it up with song with right hand. He also sang when Jim missed a show
Robbie Krieger wrote or co-wrote most of their biggest hits! People overlook his guitar work * and his writing ability.
Exactly. The perfect mix of brilliant musicians and Jim and Robbies writing (Mostly Jim for the less commercial and more out there make-you-think lyrics). But most of all the mystical persona of Jim. As great as the music is, my fav band of all time by far, the real draw to fans then and now is Jim. Something about the man just is mesmerizing. And it couldn't have happened in any other era the way it did. It was a Taylor made situation for Jim in the 60's. I mean as intelligent as he was, can you picture Jim Morrison the dentist or real estate agent, etc.? Lol. Was meant to be exactly as it happened as if it was predetermined. Which is y I love the story behind the band and obviously the story of the band during their heyday.
All four were extremely talented. Robby Krieger and John Densmore often do not get near enough accolades to go with those Morrison and Manzarek get.
Would like to see a whole documentary of his sister going through all that gold mine of his stuff.
Totally agree!
Me too!
Too More near Is the unautorized documentary "Before the end"
I'm a metalhead. But I also love The Doors! They are really unique.
I’m a Doors head who also loves metal!🤘🏻
Jim burned out, but that’s only because he was on fire to begin with…RIP Jim and Ray…heroes xxxx
First time I seen his sister. What a cool sweet girl she is.
This was so interesting to listen to Jim's sister Anne.
"its like some psychedelic dream we had years ago..." enough to make me cry. Top 5 band from the 60's hands down!
Tell us other 4 bands
@@normaharrod527 The Turtles, momma’s and poppa’s, the Beatles of course and I guess the stones with Brian in the band.
Imagine all the stories they could tell. I wish this was longer, like ten hours longer!
I'm pretty sure it was just one long acid trip otherwise major high on something else and their life was a blur
I speak on experience from decades ago barely remember anything
No need to imagine - all 3 surviving Doors wrote their own autobiographies.
Even among fans, like myself, I think what really gets overlooked is how much great music they put out in such a short time. From the release of their debut album to the release of their last album is 4 years. That's an incredible output of great songs for a 4 year period
And each album had many brilliant moments.
I'm so looking forward to getting this book. Have always loved Jim M and the doors. Met him once when he and the doors played at my High School. Right before he became famous! Jim was rolling around on the floor (in our gym) during the concert and I guess the principal didn't like that, so he called the police and as Jim laid there completely passive, they literally "dragged" him away.
That’s an awesome story
Older people were so tight and the youngers all open in the 60s this generation might have had the biggest gaps! You are still lucky
Canton IL?
Which high school ? They were suppose to play at North Hollywood high but never did but Love played twice…Use to see them around LA..
That's incredible and you're so fortunate to have seen him live in person. I would have done anything to grow up in that time for I definitely grew up in the wrong one.
Ann is awesome, she preserved a lasting legacy for her brother.
One of the biggest influences in my life. Everyday I live, Jim Morrison is expressed in my ways.
What is amazing about the Doors is. Their sound stayed unique. Some were influenced. But none have really copied them
.
The Doors music came out when I was a teenager. There is something magical about them. It was a time of hope for peace and love. We were young and beautiful and thought we could do anything. They have touched me in a personal way like no other group did. I am richer for their music.
We all are richer for their music.
I'd love to hear more from Anne and Andy.
Where Is Andy? :(
@@ezequielcuevas5892
Jim's brother. I don't know where he is or what he does. I guess he's private.
@@lambjack1
He lives in Hawaii and had 2 kids.
@@twomindz79 ohh, Hawaii, Very good place for lived, thanks bro.
@@lambjack1 the last notice to I know from Andy was in 2014, for a documentally about Jim, after this, not knowlling for him.
My favorite band in high school! Robbie Krieger was my favorite guitarist as a teen and inspired my guitar playing.
Unique player
I can’t believe I’m 27 years older than Jim at the time he died .
But I was only 5 when he passed .
50 years gone and never forgotten .
Jim was like born to be a Rock Star ⭐️
( His sister has the same eyes as her brother ).
Is and always will be my favorite band, since the 60’s
What a sweet sister! I am sure she think often about him! All my best to you Anne Morrison! Thank you! You did an amazing job I have the book! 👍👌
Jim Morrison and The Doors just totally rocked!! One of the greatest rock bands ever for sure!!
Thanks for the upload. Nice to see Jim's archive through his sister's eyes. That said, the interviews here are way too short and shallow. Can't expect much more from a TV program aimed at producing a few sound bites. Would have loved to see a real music journalist interview all three (Anne, Krieger and Densmore) for a more extended interview.
Yes, I completely agree.
Unfortunately every interview with Robbie turns into a discussion about Light My Fire. The guy is very interesting and quirky but he and John must be so sick of talking about the same stuff 48 years since the group disbanded.
Watch for the tv series "The Big Interview" hosted by Dan Rather. He did an in-depth interview with John and Robbie. He has been doing them for a number of years now and really does great interviews. It is a series I watch on AXS tv. Here's a link about it.

@@curtzeek8818 Totally agree; anyone who likes Doors music would be entertained by the Dan Rather interview.
AMEN!!!!
The chemistry between those 4 guys..CHANGE THE LIFE OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLES THROUGHOUT THE WORLD..,FOR ALL HISTORY PAST,PRESENT AND FUTURE..What they bring to MUSIC and (ALL THAT'S LINKED)..is UNIQUE!!!.THANK'S GUYS!!.ANNE MORRISON is still a beam of sunlight today...
Good job little sister, The Doors are the most unique bands in the the history of Rock n’ Roll And one of the most important bands from the 60’s
Jim morisson is an legend forever from a french fan
Jim was gifted, smart, his intelligence passed onto in his music during a pretty wild time in history. The whole band just synthesized really well musically lots of talent there too. The proof is, they are still popular today.
For me Jim was the best of all of time. He misses him so much in this world
The Doors! The Best band of all time🙏🏼
This is wonderful. Thank you, Anne Morrison Chewning for keeping the flame for your brother, and us fans who love him.
Jim was a legend his music,lyrics and poetry just blew me away.Good to see his sister did this.
The line from remaining musicians.
Was a word magician
Great job little sister for for ever taking care of Jim's private belongs. He passed away 5 years before I was born. I listen to Jim and The Doors at least once a week. The icon's forever!
I always thought Jim came up with the “our love become a funeral pyre” line. Always fun when you find you guessed it right
Thank you Anne! RIP Jim and Ray
Been there myself to that gravesite! Rip Jim !
Visited myself with a colleague over twenty years ago. Pere Lachaise is an amazing community and well worth the visit. Across the street from the cemetery is a very nice restaurant. With literally thousands of famous people buried across the avenue, who do you think the restaurant has a picture of displayed humbly on its wall? You guessed it.
I got to have that book!!!!! The doors the best band ever!!!!!!🍄🍄💨💨🥃🥃🍺
Jim Morrison, a American treasure.
I turned 13 in 1969, and Jim Morrison of the doors was one of my favorites. Riders on the Storm was a big hit on the radio when I was 14.
Such a fantastic song
Oh my gawsh im so jealous!
Anne is now able to do what should have been done decades ago Now she is able to the rightful heirs are now in control thank goodness👍❤️
Now it’s time for HWY to be released on Blu-Ray.
@@andrewkemp1882 100%
Her father died in 2008. Who else would have been standing in the way?
@@jondrew55 Pamela Courson’s family maybe?
@@ruth1035 Yes, Courson’s family where left as heirs because Pamela was the heir after Jim died. She then died 2 yrs later and that’s how her family had control of Jim Morrison’s estate and licensing etc. Morrison’s family then took them to court and they settled on a percentage.
There will NEVER be another Jim Morrison, at least not in my lifetime. RIP, Lizard King!
The Doors first album was the first one I ever bought - what an intro
When my daughter was only eight years old, she was playing and singing The Crystal Ship at the local restaurant, thanks to her piano teacher, Mike Evans Piano, who happens to have a channel here on YT. What a timeless song and band! Thanks!
And it is not an easy song!!
Thanks for sharing
And thanks to the Morrison family for opening up the vault!
The truly timeless music of The Doors.
The doors are greatest band ever an big part of my life!!🤘🇺🇸
To see this band in 68 WOW! Hard to believe they only played 99 shows!
Even when all of us who remember the Doors when they first hit the scene, we Baby Boomers, fans, surviving band members, have all passed away. People of future generations will be still playing The Doors.. They were just that important and vital to music..
I love John and Robbie!
Creative genius, so timeless
A friend of mine ordered the book and sent it to me to have. It's absolutely amazing.
Jim Morrison wild, young and inspiring what an incredible story you wrote, King Lizard forever ❤️
Anne is great and with Robby and John keeping the Doors legacy going. It still amazes me that Jim’s Dad the Admiral never listened to any of the songs.
Saul Bennett
I’m pretty sure Admiral Morrison listened to the Doors entire catalog.
What a great sister Anne must of been. .
It was the music that turned me on to The Doors almost 30 years ago, and still is….
The Doors will always be synonym for Jim but in he struck the purest gold by meeting the other band members. John and Robbie are and Ray was so extremely talented.
They made Jim's voice and poetry come to life...
Im very proud Manzarek was polish his all grandparents were from Poland 🥰
Great segment! What she did was absolutely great. Preserving Jim’s writings this way was a great accomplishment. Jim would be proud. I wish though John would get past the negativity towards Jim. It’s in the past. Easier to make peace than hold a grudge.
Not only did they create the best music of all time they were works of art.
One of greatest bands ever.
It's 51 years tomorrow we lost Jimi, and here we go again 50 years for Jim, sadly missed xx
My favorite band ever RIP Jim
The doors music is timeless and ageless it'll never die.
A classically trained pianist, a jazz drummer , a flamenco guitarist and a drunken poet on vocals ... whats not to love !!
It was really cool seeing JON & ROBBIE together. maybe someday soon they'll can get on stage together. I can hope anyway lol
They have often played together on stage over the year's.
One of my favorite bands of all time!
Still the best music that's ever been created
Forever 27
I wasn't even born when jim was around or when he died but goddammit if i don't miss him everyday and love him, his music or his poetry
Jim's sister seems like a lovely lady and she is keeping his legacy alive through his writings, in a way he would have approved, and be proud off.
"It's like some psychedelic dream we had years ago,,, and were still in it, john densmore."
sorta defines us all, a little,,
I really came into there work with "riders on the storm," no sooner had I began digging on it, found out Jim had passed away, was shocked, but that was becoming the norm for some of that era, sadly.
One of the greatest ever. In a class all by themselves I’ve loved the doors my entire life and by the time I really got into them Jim Morrison had already been gone for over 10 years to me it’s no surprise that people today still listen to the doors . Excellence unique excellence one of a kind great music will never die when your heart and soul is in it people will recognize that 100 years from now Jim was a shaman of greatness
My favorite band all time!
If when I die I can here all of The Doors music and Jims poetry for eternity.
That would be my heaven.
I believe he’s still with us…🙏🙏
Please explain!🙂
All 4 of the men made the Doors
BUT
Without Jim Morrison the Doors were no more.
Heartfelt thanks to Anne Morrison for putting the book together.
I’ve made that trip to Jim’s grave in Paris……and saw Robby Krieger in concert at the Whiskey on July 4th. Such a surreal experience. I’m blessed, The Doors are like that. They are worth every second…..
I love "the doors" music and I love James Douglas Morrison's poetry!! Thanks to his sweet sister for putting some of his work out in a book to share with the rest of the world to see👍🏼
For me is Jim Morrison the best Singer of the World - he is amazing not only his life but he writes with Soul, Emotions. He was a Genius far beyond this World ❤ And he was a Beautiful Man - timeless ❤️
Imagine having to talk about Jim Morrison for the rest of your life. That’s why he died for. So that you can talk about him all the time.
I was only 12 when Jim Morrison passed away and "RIDERS ON THE STORM"was my favorite Doors hit song...So beautiful yet so haunting at the same time...R.I.P. JIM...🎤🎤🥁🎹
Jim was loved by his family. His sister is particular proud, happy and inspired by her brother. RIP Jim.
Anne, thank you so much for allowing to be interviewed and sharing this story. I am so excited about the book. I purchased a copy on 02/01/2023. I have been a fan of Jim's words and the band's music when I discovered them, while in college (1995). I hope you are doing well.
RIP Jimbo the greatest 😁🏴
Although Jim was a very different person from the rest and an icon of the generation gap, you can see the sincere affection that his sister had for him... Despite the distance between his relatives, it is clear that they really loved him. He always respected and loved his two brothers (he put them after Pamela Courson in his will) but not his parents, there was something about them that Jim at the time found to be "irreconcilable differences" but surely if he had lived it he would have solved... But he left when he was 27 years old.
Jim Morrison.......a poet who will never be forgotten , thanks so much for the awesome memories 👏☮️✌️
All four were special. And will continue to be. Thank you for the good times.
The future’s uncertain and the end is always near…..
Man you can see Jim in her face. Its so weird to see Jims family. They were VERY private for many years, and avoided the spotlight. He has a brother as well.
Rest in peace Jim and Ray. Stuck in his prime.
Death cannot divide a brother and sister.
Much love to Anne for going above and beyond for being diligent and thorough to bring Jim’s writings to life. XO
I always hated when they say JIM MORRISON wouldn't be nothing without THE DOORS.
THE DOORS WOULDN'T BE NOTHING WITHOUT EACHOTHER.
They all brought their own thing to the table because they all had different musical backgrounds and that brought to the table to make a unique sound.
At one show they was announced as JIM MORRISON AND THE DOORS. Jim made them go back and introduce them right as THE DOORS.
The whole was definitely greater than the sum of the parts, as it often is with great bands.
Love it. So nice to see his sister honor his legacy.
