The Doors - Hello, I Love You

Hello, I Love You was the Doors' second and last #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. It topped the charts in 1968. It was the second single released from their Waiting For the Sun album. As an interesting side note, Morrison wrote the last verse of the song three years prior to recording the album while watching an attractive African American woman in Venice Beach, CA. Here's the verse he wrote about her:

"Sidewalk crouches at her feet,
like a dog that begs for something sweet,
do you hope to make her see you, fool,
do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel."
