With hits by Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, and more, Light My Fire celebrates the musical soundtrack of one of America’s most turbulent and electrifying decades. Featuring hits from the 60s such as “Somebody to Love,” "California Dreamin'," "Can't Buy Me Love," and "The Times They Are a-Changin'."
