The Doors original rock classic - Light My Fire..
José Feliciano's hit single version changed it to a jazzy interpretation. Bob Dylan's original folk classic - A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall Bryan Ferry did an idiosyncratic pop cover of this a decade or so later which was featured on his debut solo album.. |
