Krieger attended a Hebrew school with his twin brother Ronny. His father, an engineer, was a fan of classical music, while his mother enjoyed ' Frank Sinatra and stuff like that'. Krieger was born in Los Angeles, California to a Jewish family. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Doors and is listed by Rolling Stone as one of the 100 greatest guitarists of all time.
When the Doors disbanded following the death of lead singer Jim Morrison, Krieger continued to perform and record with other musicians including former Doors bandmates John Densmore and Ray Manzarek.
Krieger wrote or co-wrote many of the Doors' songs, including the hits ' Light My Fire', ' Love Me Two Times', ' Touch Me', and ' Love Her Madly'. Robert Alan Krieger (born January 8, 1946) is an American guitarist and founding member of the rock band the Doors.
