Paul Rodgers Nearly Replaced Jim Morrison in The Doors
. "I discovered quite recently that I was lined up to join The Doors, which blew my mind," he said.

[The] thing is, at that time, I had buried myself in the country, working on things, and they couldn't get a hold of me." Manzarek ended up taking on lead vocal duties on the band's initial post-Morrison music. "My jaw actually dropped like in a cartoon when Robby told me this," Rodgers said. "Would I have joined them?
