Question: It was this day in Rock History in 1967, this song was released in the US, where it went on to be No.1 on the singles chart two months later. What was it?

Answer: It was ‘Light my Fire’ by the Doors. When The Doors were on The Ed Sullivan Show they were asked to change the line “girl, we couldn’t get much higher”, as the sponsors were uncomfortable with the possible reference to drug-taking. The band agreed to do so, however, during the live performance, Jim Morrison sang the original lyric, after which they were informed they would never appear on the Ed Sullivan show again. Legendary.
