James Douglas Morrison (December 8, 1943 – July 3, 1971) A.K.A Jim Morrison was the lead singer of the American band The Doors. In 1947, Morrison, then four years old, allegedly witnessed a car accident in the desert, where a family of Native Americans were injured and possibly killed. He referred to this incident in a spoken word performance on the song Dawn's Highway from the album An American Prayer, and again in the songs Peace Frog and Ghost Song.

In 1965, after graduating from UCLA, Morrison led a Bohemian lifestyle in Venice Beach. Morrison and fellow UCLA student Ray Manzarek were the first two members of The Doors. Shortly thereafter, drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger joined. Krieger auditioned at Densmore's recommendation and was then added to the lineup

Morrison flew to Paris in March 1971, took up residence in a rented apartment, and went for long walks through the city, admiring the city's architecture. During that time, Morrison grew a beard, and by all accounts, became depressed and was planning to return to the US. It was in Paris that Morrison made his last studio recording with two American street musicians — a session dismissed by Manzarek as drunken gibberish.The session included a version of a song-in-progress, Orange County Suite, which can be heard on the bootleg The Lost Paris Tapes.

Jim Morrison would be an Autocratic leader because he really didnt care what other thought he told them what to do and exspected them to do it. He was self centered and controlled the members of the band and held them acountable if anything went wrong.
