The Doors Members John Densmore & Robby Krieger Talk Jim Morrison’s Unlikely Success

The Doors is one of the best-selling music acts of all time, but the psychedelic rock group’s rise to fame was hardly guaranteed. In a new interview on CBS News Sunday Morning, surviving members John Densmore and Robby Krieger shared memories from their early days, including Densmore’s initial reservations about lead singer Jim Morrison.

“He was so shy, it was ridiculous,” the drummer said. “And I thought, ‘This is not the next Mick Jagger! But I love playing music, so I’ll fool around here.’”
