{{Blockquote|Morrison's passing stamped the Doors with a seal of legend and immortality. There was no opportunity for the band to go into the seventies intact. Perhaps that's a good thing. I can't imagine the Doors in the era of [[disco]].|[[Henry Rollins]]{{sfn|Weidman|2011|p=414}}}}

''L.A. Woman''{{'}}s follow up album, ''[[Other Voices (The Doors album)|Other Voices]]'', was being planned while Morrison was in Paris. The band assumed he would return to help them finish the album.<ref name="Allen" /> After Morrison died, the surviving members considered replacing him with several new people, such as [[Paul McCartney]] on bass, and [[Iggy Pop]] on vocals.{{sfn|Thompson|2009|p=268}} But after neither of these worked out, Krieger and Manzarek took over lead vocal duties themselves.<ref name="Allen" /> ''Other Voices'' was finally completed in August 1971, and released in October 1971. The record featured the single "Tightrope Ride", which received some radio airplay. The trio began performing again with additional supporting members on November 12, 1971, at [[Pershing Center|Pershing Municipal Auditorium]] in Lincoln, Nebraska, followed by shows at Carnegie Hall on November 23, and the [[Hollywood Palladium]] on November 26.<ref name="Allen">{{Cite web |url=https://ultimateclassicrock.com/doors-other-voices/ |date=October 18, 2016 |title=When the Doors Continued Without Jim Morrison on ''Other Voices'' |last=Allen |first=Jim |website=Ultimate Classic Rock |access-date=May 3, 2019}}</ref>

The recordings for ''[[Full Circle (The Doors album)|Full Circle]]'' took place a year after ''Other Voices'' during the spring of 1972, and the album was released in August 1972. For the tours during this period, the Doors enlisted Jack Conrad on bass (who had played on several tracks on both ''Other Voices'' and ''Full Circle'') as well as Bobby Ray Henson on rhythm guitar. They began a European tour covering France, Germany, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom, including an appearance on the German show ''[[Beat-Club]]''. Like ''Other Voices'', ''Full Circle'' did not perform as well commercially as their previous albums. While ''Full Circle'' was notable for adding elements of funk and jazz to the usual Doors sound,<ref>{{Cite magazine |last=Reed |first=Ryan |date=May 29, 2015|title=Two Out-of-Print Doors Albums Prepped for Reissue |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/the-doors-two-post-jim-morrison-albums-set-for-reissue-60919/ |access-date=December 19, 2020 |magazine=Rolling Stone |language=en-US}}</ref> the band struggled with Manzarek and Krieger leading (neither of the post-Morrison albums had reached the Top 10 while all six of their albums with Morrison had).<ref>{{Cite web |title=Doors ''Full Circle'' Reissue Includes Original Foldout Zoetrope |url=https://ultimateclassicrock.com/doors-full-circle-zoetrope/ |access-date=December 19, 2020 |date=September 18, 2015 |website=Ultimate Classic Rock |language=en}}</ref> Once their contract with Elektra had lapsed, the Doors disbanded in 1973.<ref name="allmusic.com" />

=== Reunions ===
The third post-Morrison album, ''[[An American Prayer]]'', was released in 1978. It consisted of the band adding musical backing tracks to previously recorded spoken word performances of Morrison reciting his poetry. The record was a commercial success, acquiring a platinum certificate.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.riaa.com/newsitem.php?news_year_filter=&resultpage=76&id=182519BF-06DB-6DF5-F763-3555CDC1857A |title=RIAA News Room – Platinum certificates 2001 |website=RIAA |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160102165248/http://www.riaa.com/newsitem.php?news_year_filter=&resultpage=76&id=182519BF-06DB-6DF5-F763-3555CDC1857A |archive-date=January 2, 2016}}</ref> Two years later, it was nominated for a [[Grammy Award]] in the "Spoken Word Album" category, but it ultimately lost to [[John Gielgud]]'s ''[[The Ages of Man (play)|The Ages of Man]]''.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.awardsandshows.com/features/grammy-awards-1980-228.html|title=Grammy Award Nominees 1980 – Grammy Award Winners 1980|website=Awardsandshows.com|access-date=November 20, 2021}}</ref> ''An American Prayer'' was re-mastered and re-released with bonus tracks in 1995.<ref name="allmusic6">{{Cite web |url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=r6220|pure_url=yes}} |title=''An American Prayer'' – Review |last=Iyengar |first=Vik |website=AllMusic |access-date=December 14, 2009}}</ref>

Manzarek along with Krieger, Densmore and DJ/producer [[Skrillex]] ([[Sonny Moore]]) recorded a new song in 2012, of which Manzarek said, "I like to say this is the first new Doors track of the 21st century". The recording session and song are part of a documentary film, ''Re:Generation'', which recruited five popular DJs/producers to work with artists from five separate genres and had them record new music.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.musicradar.com/us/news/guitars/interview-robby-krieger-on-the-doors-la-woman-jim-morrison-and-skrillex-527068 |title=Interview: Robby Krieger on the Doors' ''L.A.

In 2013, the remaining members of the Doors recorded with rapper [[Tech N9ne]] for the song "[[Strange Days (Doors song)#Strange 2013|Strange 2013]]", appearing on his album ''[[Something Else (Tech N9ne album)|Something Else]]'', which features new instrumentation by the band and samples of Morrison's vocals from the song "[[Strange Days (Doors song)|Strange Days]]".<ref>{{Cite magazine |url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/videos/tech-n9ne-aligns-with-the-doors-for-strange-2013-20130624 |title=Tech N9ne Works with the Doors |date=June 24, 2013 |magazine=Rolling Stone |access-date=July 9, 2017}}</ref> In their final collaboration before Manzarek's death, the three surviving Doors provided backing for poet [[Michael C.
