5. Light My Fire
Light My Fire was was written in 1966 by all of The Doors members and the band began performing it live in 1967. It was released in April of '67 and reached #1 on Billboard by the summer of that year. Jose Feliciano covered the song which brought The Doors version back onto the chats in 1968.
This song was performed on The Ed Sullivan in Sep 1967, but the deal was to change the one line to "girl we couldn't get much better" instead of the original "girl we couldn't get much higher" ... of course Morrison agreed until they went live and he sang the original line. That blew a multi-episode deal that was in the works. They also performed the version live, where most other bands lip-synced. The song hails from their album "The Doors" from 1967.
