On July 29, 1967, The Doors’ song “Light My Fire,” from
their debut album, earned the top spot in the Billboard
Hot 100, becoming their first bona fide smash hit and
propelling the group from rock cult favorites into
international pop stars and avatars of the ’60s
counterculture.         
        

The Doors would follow up “Light My Fire” with a string
of era- defining albums and songs, including “People
Are Strange,”  “Love Me Two Times” and “The End” in
1967; “Hello, I Love You” and “Touch Me” in 1968; and
“L.A. Woman” and “Riders on the Storm” in 1971.
