Three wonderful tracks. The Rose was a favourite of my mother, and we played it at her funeral.
As for Cry Baby – fantastic!

Morrison was drunk when he made advances at Janis Joplin and as the car that she was in started driving away, Jim grabbed Joplin by her hair and tried to pull her out of it. Big mistake. Joplin grabbed a bottle of Southern Comfort and promptly hit Morrison across the head, sending him sprawling to the ground.

I’ve never been a fan of Southern Comfort but in this case it hit the spot!
Troubled people, so talented, so young and terribly messed up.
Great piece of info, Jim. Thanks!

That he did, Dale!
I often wonder if these record producer types go home after a day at the office, kick off there shoes and say, “Damn, I just spent the last few days with Jim Morrison!”
They must have some stories to tell.

One of the bloggers I follow is a costume designer and the stories she shares of the celebrities she worked with…
It must have been the same for him 🙂

Big fan of ‘the Rose’. I love Elaine Page’s version as well.

It’s a beauty, an emotionally charged piece.
Paul Rothchild walked among the giants of the industry.
