This year The Doors are recognized for their exceptional contribution to rock music with Riders on the Storm being inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame with a GRAMMY Hall of Fame Award (which honors recordings of lasting qualitative or historical significance - they must be at least 25 years old).
The 1971 song is from their last effort together, the album LA Woman. It was the summer of 1971 and Riders on the Storm hung over LA like the brown West Hollywood smog that killed Jim Morrison's spirit. It was the last song The Doors recorded together and it was the last song Jim Morrison ever recorded, period. The song was done in December 1970, released in June 1971, and Jim died July 3, 1971.
The album The Doors by The Doors [Elektra - 1967] was inducted in 2002 in the category Rock - Album.
From the Recording Academy - Hall of Fame - The GRAMMY Hall Of Fame Award was established by The Recording Academy's National Trustees in 1973 to honor recordings of lasting qualitative or historical significance that are at least 25 years old. Inductees are selected annually by a special member committee of eminent and knowledgeable professionals from all branches of the recording arts.
