About Robby Krieger

Robby Krieger is an American guitarist and founding member of the rock band the Doors. Krieger wrote or co-wrote many of the Doors' songs, including the hits "Light My Fire", "Love Me Two Times", "Touch Me", and "Love Her Madly". When the Doors disbanded following the death of lead singer Jim Morrison, Krieger continued to perform and record with other musicians including former Doors bandmates John Densmore and Ray Manzarek.

Krieger was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Doors and is listed by Rolling Stone as one of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time in the magazine's lists of 2003 and 2011. In the 2023 edition, he was repositioned at number 248.

Krieger was born on January 8, 1946, in Los Angeles, California to a Jewish family. His father, an engineer, was a fan of classical music, while his mother enjoyed "Frank Sinatra and stuff like that". Krieger attended a Hebrew school with his twin brother, Ronny.

Krieger is married to Lynn Krieger and has one child, Waylon Krieger. (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0)
