Born 2-12-39. Musician: organist.

Musical tastes ebb and flow but the Doors, for me, have always endured.

Whenever Robbie Krieger and Ray Manzarek came to the UK I made a concerted effort to see them. On each occasion, whether it be at some enormodome like Wembley Arena, or Shepherd's Bush Empire (below, 2010), fittingly, the audience reaction would be frenzied, all whipped up by their greying keyboardist.

And, like the rest of us watching, he looked as though he was having the time of his life.

RIP.
