By mid-1968, The Doors had established themselves as one of the most popular bands in the US. The band's third studio album, "Waiting For The Sun", released in July of the same year, became The Doors' only number one hit on the Billboard 200 while also spawning "Hello, I Love You", their second number one Single. The album was the first commercial breakthrough for the band in the UK, reaching number 16 on the UK Albums Chart. After the release of "Waiting For The Sun", The Doors commanded substantial performance fees and played before large crowds in arenas such as the L.A. Forum, the Hollywood Bowl, and Madison Square Garden.
Most of the next album was recorded following a gruelling tour, during which the band was left with little time to compose new material. Record producer Paul A. Rothchild recommended a total departure from the Doors' first three albums: develop a fuller sound by incorporating brass and string arrangements provided by Paul Harris. Lead singer Jim Morrison, who was dealing with personal issues and focusing more on his poetry, was less involved in the songwriting process, allowing guitarist Robby Krieger to increase his own creative output. Upon release, "The Soft Parade" was denounced by both music critics and the band's Underground music scene followers, who viewed the album as The Doors' trending into Pop music. Over time, historians have reassessed the album and its critical standing has slightly improved, but it is still widely considered to be the group's weakest effort with Morrison.
Three preceding Singles, "Touch Me", "Wishful Sinful", and "Tell All the People", were included on "The Soft Parade", with the former becoming another Top 10 hit for The Doors. Another single, "Runnin' Blue", also followed the album's release.
The album peaked at number six on the Billboard 200, but it failed to retain audiences in the UK and other European countries that their previous album, "Waiting For The Sun", had succeeded in engaging.
