"Break On Through (To the Other Side)" is a song by the American rock band the Doors. It is the opening track of their debut album, The Doors (1967). Elektra Records issued the song as the group's first single, which reached number 126[3] in the United States. Despite the single's failure to impact the record sales charts, the song became a concert staple for the band.
Twenty-four years after its original release, and after it was released as a single from the soundtrack album The Doors, "Break On Through" became a minor hit in the UK , peaking at number 64 in the UK Singles Chart.[4]
