He mentioned in the article "The introduction to Light My Fire was my little Bach study."

From Wikipedia: "Ray Manzarek said that the distinctive organ intro was inspired by Johann Sebastian Bach's Two and Three Part Inventions."

I do know that the 'Spanish Caravan' theme was taken directly from an Isaac Albeniz piano composition, 'Leyenda', sometimes called 'Asturias', which, in its transposition to guitar, had a real Flamenco feel to it.

The Vox Continental Organ, a real vintage piece from the past, and characterized by its reverse color keys. Hard to play in the dark, but a real, cool sound.
