The Doors

On September 22, 1967, The Doors performed live for the TV special hosted by DJ Murray The K, showcasing their hit "People Are Strange." This performance happened shortly after the release of their self-titled debut album in January 1967, which included iconic tracks like "Light My Fire" and "Break on Through (To the Other Side)." Just a few months before this appearance, they had solidified their status in the music scene, rising to fame amidst the vibrant psychedelic rock movement of the late '60s. This performance not only highlighted Jim Morrison's enigmatic stage presence but also the band's unique blend of rock, blues, and jazz influences, truly capturing the spirit of the era. Their appearance on WPIX-TV was one of many that helped propel their popularity further, setting the stage for their subsequent albums.
