An American Prayer is the ninth and final studio album by the American rock band the Doors, released on November 17, 1978 by Elektra Records. Following the 1971 death of vocalist Jim Morrison and the band's breakup in 1973, the surviving members of the Doors reconvened to record music to accompany several of Morrison's spoken word recordings. It was the only album by the Doors to be nominated for a Grammy Award in the Spoken Word category. Keyboardist Ray Manzarek perceived An American Prayer as being divided into five parts, with the first covering Morrison's childhood, the second covering his high school years, the third concerning "the young poet, stoned on a rooftop with acid dreams", the fourth covering his musical career and finally the fifth being a "final summation in a way, of the man's entire life and his philosophy."
