"When Jim Morrison stepped on stage bathed in black leather and began singing, reciting and screaming his rich, dark, apocalyptic, visceral lyrics on stage, goth was born in the rock sphere ..."
Go you! Jim's your Proto-Goth Icon Match(tm)!
Jim Morrison was a poet influenced by Rimbaud, Verlaine, and Baudelaire. With his saturnine good looks, magnetic stage presence and skin-tight leather trousers, Morrison quickly became one of the major pop sex symbols of his day, although he soon became frustrated with the strictures of stardom. He and his band, The Doors, influenced the Los Angeles emergence of Death Rock, particularly with the album "Strange Days."
This album was described as "gothic rock" even way back in 1967, and The Doors were a strong musical influence on some goth bands, most noticeably on Southern Death Cult.
Jim Morrison is reported as having died in 1971, but there are many stories about his death, including some that suggest he may have faked it in order to escape the limelight of stardom. On the other hand, even if Morrison didn't die in 1971, he would be over 60 today. Given his hellbent nature, it seems quite likely that the Grim Reaper would have caught up with him by now, either through misadventure, overdose, or simply bad living.
