The Doors Signed Handwritten Lyrics  Touch Me
DEMO LOT
The Doors (Years Active 1965-1973, 1978) signed 8 ½ X 11 Lyric Sheet, “Touch Me” All four signed in blue ink on Doors Green Header Stationery. Doors guitarist Robby Krieger wrote this song as "Hit Me," based on fights he had with his girlfriend. The lyric was, "C'mon, hit me, I'm not afraid." In a rare show of restraint, Jim Morrison insisted on changing it to "Touch Me." This was released as a single seven months before the album came out. This song was popular around the time Jim Morrison was arrested in Miami for indecent exposure. The song had nothing to do with Morrison's arrest, apart from an unfortunate title, but some radio stations refused to play it as a result. It was released as a single in December 1968 and reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 (their last Top Ten hit in US) and No. 1 in the Cashbox Top 100 in early 1969 (the band's third American number-one single). This item has been professionally custom matted and framed. Comes with a Letter of Authentication from Guaranteed Forensic Authenticators, along with the GFA guarantee of authenticity.
