Tightrope ride - The Doors

After the sudden death of Jim Morrison, the three remaining members of The Doors soldiered on. They released an album called Other voices, and this single was taken from that album. While 'Tightrope ride' could never compare with classics like 'Light my fire', 'Touch me' or 'Riders on the storm', it is still a good example of what these men were capable of. 

Robbie Krieger later reflected: 'We probably shouldn’t have put it out that quick after Jim’s passing. We just felt like that was all we could do. We could've sat around and be depressed. Which we were. But, I don't know. The record company, Elektra, they were wanting us to continue. It wasn’t that hard of a decision.'
