Their second studio album, Strange Days, was released just eight months after their self-titled debut album. “Light My Fire” had already become a No.1 Billboard Hot 100 hit by the time The Doors were booked on The Ed Sullivan Show, where their next hit, ”People Are Strange,” became their lead-in performance on live TV.
The “People Are Strange” performance segued into “Light My Fire,” but lead singer Morrison failed to follow Sullivan’s request that he change the line “Girl, we couldn’t get much higher.” The Doors were ultimately banned from Sullivan’s show following the famous performance, but "People Are Strange" would go on to reach No. 12 on Billboard in October 1967.

He said, ‘New York is great – it’s like empty; it’s deserted; there’s nobody around.’”
