Rick And The Ravens

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rick And The Ravens was the band Ray Manzarek was in before he joined The Doors. Because of his voice Ray was also known as "Screamin' Ray Daniels" (Manzarek's middle name is Daniel). "Rick" was Manzarek's brother. They cut a few songs that would eventually Doors songs in 1965 like "Moonlight Drive", "My Eyes Have Seen You", "Hello, I Love You", "Go Insane" (the early title of "A Little Game" from the "Celebration of the Lizard"), "End of the Night", and "Summer's Almost Gone". These were cut before both of Ray's brothers left the band and Robby Krieger joined in late 1965.
