Open the Door, Homer - Bob Dylan & the Band Tabbed by: maguri Tuning: Standard Bob Dylan & the Band Open the Door, Homer (1967) (Dylan) From: "The Bootleg Series Vol. 11: The Basement Tapes" "Open the Door, Richard" is a song first recorded on the Black & White Records label by saxophonistist Jack McVea at the suggestion of &R man Ralph Bass. In 1947, it was the number-one song on Billboard's "Honor Roll of Hits" and became a runaway pop sensation. In 1967, Bob Dylan and The Band recorded an homage to the song as part of The Basement Tapes. Entitled "Open the Door, Homer", the chorus nevertheless repeated the phrase "Open the door Richard."
