“Twentieth Century Fox” by The Doors

"Twentieth Century Fox" comes off The Doors, the American band's debut, which Elektra issued on January 4, 1967. The writing is credited to Jim Morrison, who sings, Ray Manzarek on keyboards, Robby Krieger on guitar and John Densmore on drums, and Paul A. Rothchild produced the sessions at Sunset Sound Recorders in Hollywood that August of 1966, with Bruce Botnick engineering and mixing.

The band had hammered much of that record into shape on stage through 1966, above all at the Whisky a Go Go, until the club showed them the door and Elektra signed them. The album folds jazz, blues, classical, pop and R&B into a rock frame, made the Doors one of the leading rock acts of their day and has sold over 13 million copies, their biggest seller.
