The Doors Recruited Elvis Bass Player For ‘L.A. Woman’
The Doors never had a bass player. Ray Manzerek used to play all of the bass parts on his keyboard. But when it came time to record the iconic ‘L.A. Woman’ album, producer Bruce Botnick recruited Elvis Presley’s bass player Jerry Scheff for the sessions.
“We all loved Elvis,” The Doors guitarist Robby Kreiger tells Noise11.com. “Even though at that time he was pretty much a Vegas thing but we had nothing but respect for Elvis. His players were the best. Jerry Scheff came with some amazing stuff for our record. I was just thinking of ‘Love Her Madly’, the bass on that and the bass part on ‘L.A. Woman’, the song itself is very cool”.
