Light My Fire by Shirley Bassey
originally by The Doors
(posted by Nathaniel James)

Jim Morrison was born on December 8, 1943. After graduating from UCLA in 1965, he and his classmates would form The Doors. Morrison and his band would influence many musical artists, including Iggy Pop and Scott Weiland. Morrison, himself, became the prototypical image of the “rock star.” He died July 3, 1971.

This is flat out perfection, and when it comes to covering a band like the Doors, it’s a matter of treading lightly. And yet…this is just amazing! And I can see this being used in a Tarantino film somehow, lol

    I’m sure it’s the steady diet of Bond films since the age of 7, but I love Shirley Bassey…
