Paul Gambaccini celebrates the mystique of Jim Morrison including: ‘Cemetery Confessions’.

In the last of three programmes, Paul Gambaccini mixes the music and poetry of the man with the influences that moulded the self-proclaimed ‘The Lizard King’.

In addition to sharing memories and observations, Paul delves into the Â鶹Éç archive:
