"Light My Fire" is a song by the Doors, which was recorded in August 1966 and released in January 1967 on their self-titled debut album. Released as an edited single in May 1967, it spent three weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in late-July, and one week on the Cash Box Top 100, nearly a year after it's recording.

A year later, it re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 in 1968 following the success of José Feliciano's version of the song (which peaked at #3 on the Billboard chart), peaking at #87. The song was largely written by the band's guitarist Robby Krieger,[1] and was credited to the entire band. The single was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America in September 1967 for 1,000,000 units shipped.[2] As of December 1971, it was the band's best-selling single; with over 927,000 copies sold.[3]

A live version was released in 1983 on their album Alive, She Cried, the first of several live albums released in subsequent decades to include the song. "Light My Fire" achieved modest success in Australia, where it peaked at #22 on the ARIA chart. The single originally reached #49 in the UK in 1967, but experienced belated success in that country in 1991, when a reissue peaked at #7. This reissue was more successful in Ireland, peaking atop the IRMA chart for two weeks in June. The reissue occurred due to a revived interest in the band following Oliver Stone's film biopic The Doors. The song is ranked at #35 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.[4] It was included in the Songs of the Century list. Feliciano's cover version won a 1969 Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, the same year he won another Grammy for Best New Artist.
