From Rick James Autobiography "Memories of a Super Freak":
It was night and everybody decided to go to the Whisky a Go Go to see a group called Love. the opening group was The Daily flash. they kinda reminded me of the Jefferson Airplane. Then Love came one, to my suprise, they had two black members in the group. i was not at all impressed by Love, Altough Arthur lee did had this certain charisma about him , and the crowd loved it. The next night Buffallo Springfield opened at The Whisky everyone was there. The Doors Supported them. The Doors were a four piece band with a Bitchin drummer, a real good keyboard player and a good guitar player. Jim was a a whole different trip and i didnt know whether or not i liked him. he recited poetry a lot and seemed shy onstage. the Doors were my first encounter with theatrical rock. Jim was a stylist, but at that time i just looked at him as a terrible singer, even though i admired the musicianship of the Doors. They had a Rock and roll Jazz fusion sound. i knew jim had a little something going on but i didnt think he had a voice"
