In 1978, six years after The Doors broke up, Ray Manzarek , Robby Krieger , and John Densmore reunited and recorded backing tracks over Jim Morrison 's poetry (originally recorded in a poetry session, in 1970). The result was the album ''An American Prayer'' (actual title – '''''An American Prayer: Jim Morrison'''''). Morrison's poetry was often too raunchy to use in the sixties. The album received mixed reviews and is still considered unusual today.
