His musicality was starting to get to him. He then started looking for a band to play in. Then he was walking at Venice Beach, and met a man named Ray Manarek. The keyboard player. He was already apart of a band call "Rick & the Ravens" Morrison joined with them and began introducing them his words. They enjoyed them, Manarek once said "man your lyrics are good, but there dark man." The Raven's then signed a six month contract with Columbia records, they released one track. Soon after there fourth member was found his name was Robby Krieger the guitarist. Morrison then told the band that he had a new name for the band, since everything was changing so should the name. He wanted it to be "The Doors" which was a part of a quote by William Blake from a hit writing called "The Doors of Perception." The name is based on two distinct places and between them in the doors. So the band named was changed and so did there contract. They then signed on after a gig at sunset strip (The London Frog) in Los Angeles, with Elektra records in late 1966, after Jac Holzman heard them play at another club called "Whiskey-a-Go-Go" (The Doors).
