Pamela Susan Courson (b. December 22, 1946 – April 25, 1974) was the long term companion, common-law wife and muse or rock singer Jim Morrison, vocalist of 1960s rock group The Doors. Pamela had a relationship with Jim from 1965, and until his death in Paris in 1971.
Pamela was born in Weed, Califronia and left her hometown at nineteen. She and her friend soon bought an apartment in Los Angelous during the spring. It is not necesarily clear on how Pam met Jim, although it has been rumoured that she met him at a nightclub on the Sunset Strip, but Ray Manzarek claims the Pamela and a friend went to go see the Doors play at the London Fog. Her relationship with Morrison was very tumultuous, and had an "open relationship". Although they had affairs with others and fights, they still loved each other and always came back to each other.
Pam owned a shop called Themis, and it was a botique that Jim had bought for her. The botique was opend at very odd times. Pamela's death certificate has her occupation down under as "womens apparel".
On the night of July 2nd 1971, Pam and Jim went to see a film. After the movie, they returned to their apartment in Paris. Jim went to bed and awoke sometime later coughing and complaining of chest pains. He then decided to take a bath. At approximatley 5:00 a.m. on July 3, 1971, Pamela found Jim dead in their bathroom.
Three years after, April 25, 1974, Pamela sadly died from a Heroin overdose in a Hollywood appartment. Pamela was devastated after Jim's death, and showed signs of mental instability. Pam was supost to be burried in France with Jim, although there was to much red tape involved in transporting a body to a foreign country for burial. Her parents had her cremated remains buried at Fairhaven Memorial Park in Santa Ana, California.
I think that Pam was the one for Jim. He loved her a lot, he shows it in the books of poetry that are dedicated to her, and songs. They deffinatley where ment to be together. She was a very beautiful woman with a soft voice, her natural long red hair deffinatley caught the eyes of many and her voice sent shivers down many peoples spines. Her fashion and style is something special too. This post is dedicated to her, and I hope you enjoy the photos. Photos are from the use of Facebook pages.
