The Doors - an American prayer....I was realy stoked for that one cause in those day no world web and it was the first newish doors stuff. Whoa,,ya man,, good call. I never even considered American Prayer as a 78 release cuz he was long gone. I wasn't listening to that until about 1980 though so it didn't even cross my mind. That one got tons of play in our little circle of friends. Classic. Listening to it now. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some great song writing I loved the 'Grease' soundtrack, which reminds me of the great movies of 1978. Who can forget 'Animal House' and 'Up In Smoke'!
