Ray Manzarek, the keyboardist who was a founding member of The Doors, lost his battle with bile duct cancer. He was 74. 
Drummer John Densmore wrote: “There was no keyboard player on the planet more appropriate to support Jim Morrison’s words. Ray, I felt totally in sync with you musically. It was like we were of one mind, holding down the foundation for Robby and Jim to float on top of. I will miss my musical brother.”
