This day in music history.

April 25, 1974, Pam Morrison (Jim Morrison's widow) dies in her Hollywood apartment from a heroin overdose. Born Susan Pamela Courson She was 27 years old at the time of her death. Although Pam and Jim were never officially married, Courson used Morrison's name with his apparent consent and Morrison referred to Courson's parents as "the in-laws." The Courson family buried her under the name "Pamela Susan Morrison." After her death, her parents Columbus and Penny inherited Morrison's entire fortune. By court ruling they now share the rights with Jims family.
Unhappy Girl by The Doors
Unhappy girl
Left all alone
Playing solitaire
Playing warden to your soul
You are locked in a prison
Of your own devise
And you can't believe
What it does to me
To see you
Crying
Unhappy girl
Tear your web away
Saw thru all your bars
Melt your cell today
You are caught in a prison
Of your own devise
Unhappy girl
Fly fast away
Don't miss your chance
To swim in mystery
You are dying in a prison
Of your own device
