The Doors : Legacy: The Absolute Best

 John Paul Densmore 

(born December 1, 1944)

 is an American musician.

 He is best known as

 the drummer of 

the rock band 

the Doors 

and as such is

 a member of the

 Rock and Roll 

Hall of Fame.

He appeared on 

every recording made 

by the band,

 with drumming 

inspired by

 jazz

 and world music 

as much as by 

rock and roll. 

The many honors 

he shares with

 the other Doors 

include a Grammy Award 

for lifetime achievement 

and a star on the 

Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Densmore is also noted for his 

veto of attempts by the other

 two Doors members,

 in the wake of singer

 Jim Morrison's 1971 death,

 to accept offers

 to license the rights

 to various Doors songs

 for commercial purposes 

as well as his objections

 to their use in the 

21st century of the Doors name

 and logo. 

Densmore's lengthy court battles

 to gain compliance 

with his veto,

 based on a 1960s

 contract requiring 

unanimity among

 Doors members

 to use the band's

 name or music, 

ended with victory

 for him 

and his allies

 in the Morrison estate.

Densmore has also worked in

 the performing arts

 as a dancer 

and actor 

and written successfully

 as both a playwright 

and the author 

of two books 

on the topic 

of the Doors

 and a third book, 

The Seekers 

(2020),

 about a selection

 of notable people 

he has worked with

 and encountered.
