Manzarek also recorded a rock adaptation of
Carl Orff's "Carmina
Burana" with
Philip Glass, produced
Los Angeles band X, and played with
Iggy Pop and backed
San Francisco poet
Michael McClure's poetry readings.
During his time with the Doors he is widely regarded as being one of the
most influential keyboardists in rock and roll history by changing the
spectrum of ability a keyboardist has. This is in part due to the fact
that since the Doors lacked a basist Manzarek would often play those
parts.
His autobiography entitled "Light My Fire" is among the most perceptive
and beautiful accounts of the life and times of The Doors.
He is also currently directing a movie called Riders on the Storm, due
to be released in 2005.
He is Polish-American.
In Oliver Stone's biopic "The Doors," Manzarek was played by Kyle
MacLachlan.
