As a record deal was presented to The Doors they recorded their self-titled debut album in only six days. The album sold 1 million copies and catapulted the band to #1 on the Billboard top 100 charts. As time continued the band went on to make a total of 9 albums in a short career of only 8 years due to Jim Morrison's tragic death due to heart failure on July 3, 1971. The Doors were inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame in 1993 and have sold a whopping 32.5 million albums and continue to inspire the young and old with beautiful ballads and soulful blues songs.
