50 years ago this Saturday, July 29th, The Doors achieved their first-number hit as "Light My Fire" cracked the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100.
To mark this special occasion, they're encouraging fans worldwide to celebrate the milestone by playing the song at 7:29 p.m. on Saturday - 7:29 ON 7/29. And, seeing as this is a completely different world than in 1967, you can instantly share your memories of the song with the hashtag #LightMyFire.
Also in celebration of the 50th anniversary, this Friday, Rhino will release a limited-edition reproduction of the original seven-inch single that was released in Japan in 1967. It will also put out a new digital and streaming maxi-single with three different versions of the iconic song -- the mono single version, the stereo album version, and a live version from the Felt Forum in New York City from January 17th, 1970.
