"Love Her Madly" went out in March 1971 as the first single from L.A. Woman, the last album the Doors made with Jim Morrison, and it turned into one of the band's biggest hits, reaching number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number three in Canada. Bruce Botnick engineered and mixed it.

It's the Doors in a buoyant mood, Ray Manzarek's keyboards bouncing, Robby Krieger's guitar chiming, John Densmore's drums rolling, with session man Jerry Scheff on bass and Morrison crooning over it with a devilish grin. Cash Box heard something built for both FM and Top 40 radio, and Record World simply called it a terrific rocker. Decades later Krieger, Manzarek and Densmore recut it with Bo Diddley for the tribute album Stoned Immaculate.
