"Wishful Sinful" is a song written by Doors guitarist Robbie Krieger and performed by The Doors. Released in March 1969 from the band's fourth album, "The Soft Parade", "Wishful Sinful" follows the general theme of the album by incorporating elements of classical music. It reached #44 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1969. ["Allmusic", [http://wm08.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&searchlink=THE|DOORS&sql=11:wifqxqe5ldhe~T51 The Doors Chart History] ]

Though many of the songs on The Soft Parade (including Wishful Sinful) were somewhat unpopularFact|date=March 2008 - at least amongst fans of the harder, bluesier Doors sound - at the time of the original release, many music fans today find the album to be a skillful expansion of the Doors' musical abilities.Fact|date=March 2008

The song was covered by pianist George Winston on his album Night Divides the Day - The Music of the Doors.

B-Side

The B-side of the single - "Who Scared You?" - is one of only three non-album B-sides that the Doors released during their career. The other two are "Don't Go No Farther"(sic) and "Tree Trunk".
