The Soft Parade is the fourth studio album by The Doors, released in 1969. For this studio album the band experimented with brass and strings on several tracks, including the hit "Touch Me" (their most successful integration of orchestration). The album also included, among other tunes, the hard rocker of "Wild Child," "Shaman's Blues," and the lengthy title track, a multi-part suite that mixed rock and poetry. "Tell All the People" and "Wishful Sinful," both penned by Robbie Krieger, were uncharacteristically wistful tunes that became minor hits.
