"Touch Me" is a song by the Doors from their 1969 album The Soft Parade. Written by guitarist Robby Krieger in late 1968, it makes extensive use of brass and string instruments, including a solo by featured saxophonist Curtis Amy.
It was released as a single in December 1968 and reached No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 (their last Top Ten hit in the US) and No. 1 in the Cashbox Top 100 in early 1969 (the band's third American number-one single). The single peaked at No. 1 in the RPM Canadian Singles Chart. However, despite the band's commercial success the previous year, "Touch Me" did not chart in the UK Singles Chart.
